Application |
| |
|
Gluphosinate is a non-selective contact herbicide
with some systemic action. Translocation occurs only within leaves,
predominantly from the leaf base to the leaf tip.
Glufosinate-ammonium is used for control of a wide range of annual
and perennial broad-leaved weeds and grasses in fruit orchards,
vineyards, rubber and oil palm plantations, ornamental trees and
bushes, non-crop land, and pre-emergence in vegetables. Also used
as a desiccant in potatoes, sunflowers etc. For control of annual
and perennial weeds and gresses in glufosinate-tolerant crops (oilseed
rape, maize, soya bean, sugar beet) developed through gene technology.
