Difference between Biological warfare and Herbicidal warfare

Biological warfare vs. Herbicidal warfare

Biological warfare (BW)—also known as germ warfare—is the use of biological toxins or infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi with the intent to kill or incapacitate humans, animals or plants as an act of war. Herbicidal warfare is the use of substances primarily designed to destroy the plant-based ecosystem of an area.
