Herbicides
This classification of herbicides is based on chemical structure and primarily on the system developed by the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) and the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA). This classification scheme is consistent with that used in The Pesticide Manual and the terms widely used in the literature. The HRAC has also developed a coding system based on mode of action; these codes are included in The Pesticide Manual.
