Learn how to kill weeds now and for an extended period.Click to edit this item

Use an herbicide with the chemical "glyphosphate" as its active plant-killing ingredient. Sprayed onto plants, the herbicide is absorbed through the foliage where it inhibits enzymes that plants need to survive. Glyphosphate-based products are active only on growing plants, but will kill all types of plants with which they come into contact. Other products may leave the grass and kill only broad-leafed plants.
