A broad-spectrum pesticide is a type of pesticide that is effective against a wide range of pests, including various insects, weeds, and diseases. Unlike selective pesticides, which target specific organisms, broad-spectrum pesticides can impact beneficial species as well, leading to potential ecological imbalances. They are commonly used in agriculture and pest management for their effectiveness, but their use requires careful consideration to minimize harm to non-target species and the environment.
An example of a broad-spectrum pesticide is glyphosate, commonly known as Roundup. It is effective against a wide range of weeds and crops, making it popular in agriculture. However, its broad action can also harm non-target plants and organisms if not used carefully.
