The herbicide classification system will be examined and an overview of the eight herbicide mode of action groupings provided. Objectives: 1.Understand how herbicides are classified and why it is important for managing herbicide resistance. 2.Classify herbicides by mode of action rather than chemical family. 3.Know the difference between mode of action and site of action. 4.Differentiate between herbicide families, modes of action, and sites of action. 5.Understand common name, trade names and sites of absorption.
