For instance, the term âFRPâ (for Fiber Reinforced Plastic) usually indicates a thermosetting polyester matrix containing glass fibers1, and this particular composite has the lion's share of today's commercial market.
Pesticides are chemicals used to eliminate or control a variety of agricultural pests that can damage crops and livestock and reduce farm productivity. The most commonly applied pesticides are insecticides (to kill insects), herbicides (to kill weeds), rodenticides (to kill rodents), and fungicides (to control fungi, mold, and mildew).
Pre-emergent herbicides kill weeds as they germinate from their seeds. To be effective, pre-emergent herbicides are applied directly to the soil and spread with a light application of water. The herbicide makes a barrier of poison that reduces the chance of weed germination, says the University of Illinois.erbicides that require contact are sprayed onto the plant and absorbed through the waxy layer of the leaf. Contact herbicides will kill only the area they touch and do not kill the weed roots, meaning the weed may grow back, says the University of Illinois Extension.
