| Selective herbicides kill specific targets while leaving the desired crop relatively unharmed. Herbicides used to clear waste ground, industrial sites, railways and railway embankments are non-selective and kill all plant material with which they come into contact. Smaller quantities are used in forestry, pasture systems, and management of areas set aside as wildlife habitat. Some of these act by interfering with the growth of the weed and are often synthetic "imitations" of plant hormones. An herbicide is a substance used to kill unwanted plants. Herbicides are widely used in agriculture and in landscape turf management. In the U. S. , they account for about 70% of all agricultural pesticide use Some plants produce natural herbicides, such as the genus Juglans (walnuts), or the tree of heaven; the study of such natural herbicides, and other related chemical interactions, is called allelopathy.
