Non-selective herbicides tend to affect a wide range of plant species.

Non-selective herbicides tend to affect a wide range of plant species.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (A)

Non-selective herbicides are designed to affect many kinds of plants rather than just one or a few. They target fundamental plant processes that are common across most species, so they don’t discriminate much between grasses, broadleaf weeds, or even some woody plants. Because of this broad action, these herbicides tend to impact a wide range of plant species, making them effective for clearing all vegetation in an area. There can be some variation in sensitivity among species and conditions, but the general pattern is broad-spectrum effect. So the statement is true.
