IPL Sweep is a non-selective post-emergence herbicide containing Glufosinate Ammonium 13.5% W/W SL. It provides fast and effective control of a broad spectrum of annual and perennial grasses, broadleaf weeds, and sedges. The herbicide acts through contact action and is rapidly absorbed by green plant tissues, making it suitable for use in orchards, plantations, vineyards, and non-crop areas. IPL Sweep helps maintain clean fields, reduces weed competition, and improves crop productivity when used according to label recommendations.
Technical Name:
Glufosinate Ammonium 13.5% W/W SL
Mode of Action:
Glufosinate Ammonium is a non-selective contact herbicide that inhibits the enzyme glutamine synthetase in weeds. This leads to ammonia accumulation, disruption of photosynthesis, rapid cell damage, and eventual death of the weed. It is most effective when applied to actively growing weeds after emergence.
