GLYPHOSATE Introduction: Glyphosate is a broad spectrum, non-selective systemic foliar applied herbicide for control of annual and perennial grass and broad leaved weeds in agriculture, non-crop and industrial areas. Inactivated on contact with soil. Product kind: Herbicide Chemical name: N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine Molecular formula: C3H8NO5P Molecular weight: 169.08 Activity: Organophosphorus herbicides Technical: Glyphosate 95%TC Type of formulation: Glyphosate monoammounium 880g/Kg WG Glyphosate monoammounium 757g/Kg WG Glyphosate isopropylamide (IPA) 41%SL (360SL) Mode of action It works by being absorbed into the plant mainly though its leaves but also through soft stalk tissue. It is then transported throughout the plant where it acts on various enzyme systems inhibiting amino acid metabolism, causing the eventual death of the plant. Visible symptoms occur at 4-7days in perennials. It includes wilting followed by chlorosis, and then in turn leads to plant death. Spectrum of use In pre-plant weed control in annual crops such as cereals In established plantation crops such as coffee, tea, bananas, orchards In sugar cane weed control as well as a growth regulator to increase sucrose content in sugar.
