Which type of herbicide is specifically designed to kill broadleaf plants but not grasses?

Selective herbicides are specifically designed to target certain types of plants while leaving others unharmed. In this case, they are formulated to effectively kill broadleaf plants without affecting grasses. This selectivity makes them useful in various applications, such as maintaining turf health in lawns, where it is desirable to eliminate unwanted broadleaf weeds while preserving grass species.

Non-selective herbicides, on the other hand, kill all plants they come into contact with, making them unsuitable for situations where certain plants need to be preserved. Pre-emergent herbicides prevent the germination of seeds and do not target existing plants. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by plants and move throughout their systems but are not specific to broadleaf or grasses unless they are of the selective type.
