GLYPHOSATE 48% SL

Non-selective herbicide, with quality & economy

Active ingredient:

Glyphosate

Chemical group:

Organophosphorus

Pack Size:

100ml

Formulation:

Available in SL Formulation (soluble Liquid Concentrate)

Mode of Action:

• Glyphosate is a broad spectrum, non-selective systemic herbicide.
• Glyphosate works by being absorbed into the plant mainly through 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 in what is known as the shikimic acid pathway. This pathway exists in higher plants and microorganisms but not in animals.
• Plants treated with Glyphosate slowly die over a period of days or weeks, and because the chemical is transported throughout the plant, no part survives.

Key Properties / USPs:

• Non- selective herbicide
• Environment safety. Glyphosate will not adversely affect soil microorganisms; in fact they actually feed on it to break it down! It does not adversely affect the natural breakdown of plant matter in the soil.
• Glyphosate can be tank mixed with residual herbicides to give long-term weed control under certain situations.
• Unlike mechanical tillage, Glyphosate does not cause soil disturbance, root pruning or trunk bruising. Shallow feeder roots are left intact and the soil structure is not adversely affected. Tillage implements often damage irrigation lines, cause erosion and surface sealing which reduces water penetration and causes excess water run-off, which potentially reduces harvest size, quality and value. Water run-off may make the use of harvesting equipment difficult.
• Unlike other herbicides, when Glyphosate enters the plant, it translocate’s (i.e. moves through the sap stream) throughout the plant, killing it roots and all. So, there’s no risk of re-growth of the sprayed weeds.
