Technical Name:- Glyphosate 41% SL
Glyphosate is a non-selective systemic herbicide. It belongs to the family of glycine derivatives, used to control annual and perennial grasses and broad-leaved weeds, pre-harvest in many crops.
Mode of action: -
It is a Non-selective systemic herbicide, absorbed by the foliage, with rapid translocation throughout the plant. It inhibits 3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), an enzyme of the aromatic acid biosynthetic pathway. This prevents the synthesis of essential aromatic amino acids needed for protein biosynthesis. It gets inactivated in contact with soil.
Applications: -
It is to be diluted with clean water and sprayed uniformly using an efficient sprayer and used at the different stages as a pre-harvest and pre-emergence post-emergence and pre-plant incorporation.
It ensures complete kill of treated weed thereby preventing regeneration of weeds.
Very early treatment of vegetation may reduce weed. But good results are obtained by treating mature plants.
Dosage: - 80 - 100 ml/pump or 800 - 1200 ml /acre
