Application: |
Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum, nonselective systemic herbicide used
for control of annual and perennial plants including grasses,
sedges, broad-leaved weeds, and woody plants. It can be used on
non-cropland as well as on a great variety of crops. Glyphosate
itself is an acid, but it is commonly used in salt form, most
commonly the isopropylamine salt. It may also be available in acidic
or trimethylsulfonium salt forms.
