Herbicides which target specific plants or types of plants are what selected weedkillers are. For example, the product line in question may target weeds over turf, such as in the glysophate-containing herbicide Roundup.

Herbicides that target specific plants or plant types describe selective weedkillers. Selective weedkillers such as the glyphosate-containing herbicide Roundup targets weeds, not plants. The targets tend to be broadleaf, such as carpet weed, chick weeds, dandelions and ground ivy; grassy, such as barnyard grass, crabgrass, fall panicum, goose grass and yellow foxtail; and sedge such as purple and yellow nutsedges, Star of Bethlehem, wild garlic and wild onion.

They are called herbicides, not "weedicides." Herbicides include such chemicals as Roundup (glyphosate), 2,4-D, etc.
