Phenoxy herbicide
Have you ever seen weeds growing in your garden or yard? Sometimes people use chemicals called herbicides to get rid of them. One type of herbicide is called a phenoxy herbicide.
Phenoxy herbicides work by going inside the weed and messing up the way it grows. They do this by stopping a special substance called auxin from working properly. Auxin helps the plant move and grow in different ways, like turning towards the sun. But when phenoxy herbicides mess up auxin, the plant can't grow correctly and eventually dies.
It's important to be careful when using phenoxy herbicides because if you accidentally get them on other plants or even people or pets, it can be harmful. That's why it's always a good idea to read the instructions and wear protective gear like gloves and goggles when using them.
