A. Result
In this laboratory practice we can be the result that the color of the weed leaves
turns brownish. In the last week of observation of the weed death percentage reached
90%, the color of fruiting weed leaves browned, and the color of the leaves of the
cultivation plant turned yellowish green, this means proving that the herbicide we use
is a selective herbicide, which only kills weeds without having a big effect on
cultivated plants. More broadleaf weeds die than narrow leaf weeds. The results we
get are in accordance with Sembodo (2010) statement which states that herbicides
are chemicals or biological cultures that can inhibit growth or kill plants. Herbicides
applied in high doses will kill all parts and types of plants. While at low doses,
herbicides will kill certain plants and do not damage other plants. Herbicides are
toxic to weeds or plants that interfere with plants. The chemical properties of
herbicides not only determine the workability of herbicides on controlled weeds
(efficiency), but also determine the level of poisoning (toxicity) in non-targeted
organisms such as plants.
