|
Glyphosate is non-selective systemic herbicide,
absorbed by the foliage, with rapid translocation throughout the
plant. Inactivated on contact with soil.
Used to control of annual and perennial grasses and broad-leaved
weeds, pre-harvest, post-planting / pre-emergence and in stubble,
in cereals, peas, beans, oilseed rape, flax and mustard at c 1.5-2
kg/ha; as a directed spray in vines and olives at c. 4.3 kg/ha;
in orchards, pasture, forestry and industrial weed control at c.
4.3 kg/ha. As an aquatic herbicide at c. 2kg/ha.
