Glyphosate 41% SL / 71% SG

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.
