Product Description

Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum, non-selective systemic herbicide widely used for post-emergence weed control in crops and non-crop areas. It is effective against annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds, including difficult-to-control species.Glyphosate is valued for its systemic action, rapid weed suppression, and compatibility with glyphosate-tolerant crops, making it a cornerstone of modern weed management programs.

Mode of Action

Glyphosate works as an EPSP (5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate) synthase inhibitor:

• Inhibits EPSP synthase, a key enzyme in the shikimic acid pathway

• Blocks synthesis of essential aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan)

• Disrupts protein synthesis and plant growth

• Leads to gradual plant death, typically visible within 5–14 days

👉 Glyphosate is systemic, moving throughout the plant to roots, stems, and leaves for complete weed control.

Product Advantages

✔ Broad-spectrum control – Effective against most annual and perennial weeds

✔ Systemic action – Kills entire plants, including roots

✔ Flexible application – Suitable for glyphosate-tolerant crops and non-crop areas

✔ Rapid suppression – Reduces competition for nutrients and water quickly

✔ Low environmental impact – Binds strongly to soil, low mobility, minimal leaching

Precautions

• ⚠ Apply to actively growing weeds for best results

• ⚠ Avoid spraying under stress conditions (drought, extreme heat, waterlogging)

• ⚠ Prevent drift to sensitive crops or non-tolerant plants

• ⚠ Follow registered crops, dosage, and local regulations strictly

• ⚠ Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) during application

For resistance management, rotate with herbicides of different modes of action.

FAQ

Q1: What weeds does Glyphosate control?

A: It controls most annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds, including tough-to-kill species.

Q2: Is Glyphosate systemic or contact?

A: Glyphosate is systemic, moving through the plant to control roots, stems, and leaves.

Q3: Can it be applied on crops?

A: Yes, but only on registered glyphosate-tolerant crop varieties; follow recommended dosage and timing.

Q4: How quickly does it work?

A: Visible symptoms usually appear 5–14 days after application, depending on weed species and environmental conditions.

Q5: Is resistance a concern?

A: Resistance has been reported in some weed populations. Rotate with herbicides of different modes of action to reduce risk.
