Which category is used to kill weeds?

Explanation:
Herbicides are the pesticide class used to kill weeds. They’re designed to control unwanted plants that compete with crops, and they can be selective for certain weed species or non-selective for broad weed control. They may be applied before weeds germinate (pre-emergence) or after they appear (post-emergence), and can act as contact products or be absorbed and move within the plant (systemic). The other categories target different organisms—nematicides affect nematodes, insecticides kill insects, and miticides kill mites—so they don’t serve the purpose of killing weeds. Always follow label directions and regulatory requirements when selecting and applying herbicides.
