Systemic and target-specific formulations are ways in which herbicides are designed to harm plant -- not human -- cells. But in reality, it is difficult to comprehend and control all of the after- and side-effects of herbicides so environmentalists tend to speak of degrees of ambient residue and of harm to non-target organisms.

What are contact weedicide?

Contact herbicides are chemicals designed to kill weeds upon direct contact. They work by damaging the plant tissues they touch, leading to the death of the targeted weeds. Unlike systemic herbicides, which are absorbed and transported throughout the plant, contact herbicides typically require thorough coverage of the plant surfaces for effective control. These herbicides are often used for quick action in managing annual weeds and can be effective in non-crop areas.

Why the humans are not affected by plant viruses?

Humans are not affected by plant viruses primarily because these viruses have evolved to infect plant cells, which have different cellular structures and biochemical pathways than human cells. Plant viruses typically rely on specific receptors and mechanisms found only in plant species, making it unlikely for them to successfully invade human cells. Additionally, the immune systems of humans are designed to recognize and combat a wide range of pathogens, including viruses, further protecting us from plant viruses.
