- Selective herbicides control specific weed species while leaving the desired crop relatively unharmed, while non-selective herbicides kill plants indiscriminately.
- The combined effects of herbicides, nitrogen fertilizer, and improved cultivars has increased yields of major crops by three to six times from 1900 to 2000.

Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Herbicide article was read about 58,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 81 and blocks with 92: each hit it takes is cut by 37 %.
