What is not a category of selective herbicide application?

Selective herbicides are designed to target specific types of plants while leaving others unharmed. The method of application can vary based on the desired effect and the target plants.

Basal spraying involves applying a herbicide mixture to the lower portions of woody plants, effectively targeting only specific species while minimizing the impact on surrounding vegetation. This technique is particularly useful for managing unwanted trees or shrubs.

Cut surface herbicide application focuses on treating the freshly cut surfaces of trees or plants. By applying herbicides directly to the cut areas, the chemicals can enter the plant's system more effectively, targeting the specific plant species without affecting others in the vicinity.

Granular or pellet application refers to the method where herbicides are distributed in a solid form, often used for targeting weed species in specific areas. This method allows for precise targeting, as granules can be placed directly around the base of desired plants or in areas heavily infested with weeds.

Soil drenching involves applying a liquid herbicide directly to the soil, which can affect a broader spectrum of plants based on the nature of the herbicide and the concentration used. While it can be used in a targeted manner, it does not fit the same selective nature as the other application methods mentioned. Soil drenching can affect the
