Agents used in viticulture within the large group of pesticides. The name is derived from the Latin terms "herba" (herb, grass) and "caedere" (to kill). Herbicides are divided into algicides(algae), arboricides (woody plants) and graminicides (grasses)). Herbicides are used in agriculture and also in viticulture to control weeds (weeds), although only certain preparations are approved in specific countries.
