What is the term "Silvicide" used for in the realm of pest control?

An herbicide used to destroy aquatic plants
An insecticide used in household settings
An herbicide used to destroy brush and trees
A rodenticide used in agricultural fields

The correct answer is: An herbicide used to destroy brush and trees

Silvicide is a term used in the realm of pest control to describe an herbicide specifically designed to destroy brush and trees. It is commonly used in forestry and land management to control unwanted vegetation that competes with desired tree species or obstructs access to an area. Silvicides are formulated to target woody plants rather than broadleaf or grassy weeds. This makes choice C the correct answer. Option A, an herbicide used to destroy aquatic plants, is known as an aquatic herbicide. Option B, an insecticide used in household settings, is typically referred to as a household insecticide. Option D, a rodenticide used in agricultural fields, is specifically designed to control rodent populations.
