Round-Up

Explanation:

In one experiment the positive controls are used in order to validate the evaluation of the test, which is done in this case to measure the effectiveness of the herbicides. The researchers previously found that the herbicide Round-up controls the herb and has a high effectiveness, making this positive positive control be compared with the experimental results. In a positive control we have the desired effect in this case the elimination of grass.
