    While i think that link is more correct, it is hard to take it serious when they call it a pesticide.

        No, it is a herbicide. Those are very different things and no farmer would ever mess this up.

          Herbicide is a subset of pesticides where the pests are herbs. You’re thinking of insecticide where the pest is an insect. Pesticide is the broad term that encompasses both insecticides and herbicides.
