About Glyphosate 41% SL / 71% SG
Ammonium Salt of Glyphosate 71% SGThis is a high-strength formulation in soluble granule form. It contains 71% of Glyphosate in ammonium salt form. It is designed to give a stronger and longer residual effect, especially suitable for perennial and woody weeds.When it comes to managing tough weeds in farms, one name always pops up Glyphosate. Its one of the most widely used herbicides in the world, and theres a good reason why. It is effective, economical and works on a broad range of weeds. But how exactly it works, what makes it different from other herbicides, and why should growers or agri-brands care about the salt forms like Ammonium Salt or Isopropylamine Salt? Lets break it all down in this blog.
What is Glyphosate?
It is a non-selective, systemic herbicide. That means it doesnt target just one type of weed. It works on a large group of weeds including annual, perennial, broadleaf and grassy weeds. Non-selective means it kills most plants it touches, so it should only be sprayed carefully where weeds are unwanted.
Being systemic means after application, Glyphosate travels inside the plant, from leaves down to roots. This is important. Because instead of just burning the top part of the weed, it kills it from inside, including the root. So regrowth is minimized. Thats why it has become a go-to solution especially in non-crop areas, orchards, fallow lands, and before sowing any crop.
How Does Glyphosate Work?
Powerful Non-selective Weed ControlGlyphosate 41% SL and 71% SG offer efficient post-emergence weed control for a broad range of grassy and broadleaf weeds. Thanks to its systemic action, the herbicide is absorbed throughout the plant, ensuring comprehensive elimination and preventing regrowth. Its compatibility with non-ionic adjuvants further boosts its effectiveness.
Flexible Formulations and Intelligent PackagingAvailable in two convenient formulations-41% SL as a soluble liquid and 71% SG as soluble granules-Glyphosate caters to different application needs. The robust HDPE bottles and drums for liquids, and laminated pouches for granules, ensure product stability, ease of handling, and extended shelf life.
Safe Handling, Storage, and ApplicationProper storage and handling are crucial for maintaining efficacy. Glyphosate should be stored in a cool, dry, ventilated space away from direct sunlight. Follow recommended dosages-3-5 liters/ha for 41% SL, or 1-1.5 kg/ha for 71% SG. Its slightly pungent odor and compatibility with most non-ionic adjuvants make it user-friendly for large-scale agricultural operations.
FAQ's of Glyphosate 41% SL / 71% SG:
Q: How does Glyphosate 41% SL / 71% SG control weeds?
A: Glyphosate inhibits the EPSP synthase enzyme in plants, blocking protein synthesis. This systemic action leads to effective elimination of annual and perennial broadleaf and grassy weeds, preventing their regrowth.
Q: What is the recommended dosage and method of application for Glyphosate formulations?
A: For Glyphosate 41% SL, apply 3-5 liters per hectare, and for 71% SG, use 1-1.5 kg per hectare. It is used as a post-emergence herbicide in both agricultural and non-crop areas for maximum weed control.
