The Brand Names for Post-Emergent Selective Herbicides

A post-emergent selective herbicide is a chemical that kills vegetation just as any other herbicide. The only difference is that it is designed to kill only a specific type of vegetation after the plant has grown or emerged from the ground. The types of vegetation this type of herbicide will kill varies by design, and you can purchase some to kill anything from weeds to ground cover.
