DESCRIPTION
|
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 Non-selective systemic herbicide, absorbed by the foliage, with rapid translocation throughout the plant. It inhibits 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), an enzyme of aromatic acid biosynthetic pathway. This prevents synthesis of essential aromatic amino acids needed for protein biosynthesis. It get inactivated on contact with soil.
|
Applications
It is to be diluted with clean water and sprayed uniformly using an efficient sprayer and used at different stage 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.

TOXICITY DATA
|
Mammalian Toxicity
|
:
|
WHO (a.i.) U, Unlikely to present acute hazard
|
Environmental Toxicity
|
:
|
In mammals, Glyphosate is very rapidly excreted unchanged and does not accumulate. In plant it slowly metabolised to aminomethylphosphonic acid.
It is moderately to slightly toxic to birds.
It is toxic for Daphnia, but not much toxic to other aquatic animals.
Not toxic to bees.
It is harmless to slightly harmful for insects like spiders and few parasites
