Classification analysis of herbicides approved for use in 2018

Weed control is an important area in the field of agriculture. There are two main methods of crop protection, such as biological and chemical. One of the effective ways to suppress weeds is the use of herbicides. Herbicides are able to eliminate weeds, thereby increasing productivity. At the moment, there are a huge number of herbicides that have been tested, registered and licensed. Each herbicide differs in the following criteria: chemical structure, herbicidal activity, mechanism of action, and ways of movement. Herbicides based on active substances introduced for the first time in 2018 were selected as examples. They are diflufenzopyr, flufenacet, flurtamone, bromoxynil, cycloxydim and several others. A complete classification was compiled for a visual study of herbicides. It is presented in this work with an indication of new herbicides that are approved for use in 2018
