How the active ingredient works
Glyphosate-ammonium 300 g/L
Glyphosate inhibits an enzyme called EPSPS (5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase). This enzyme is essential to the shikimate pathway, which plants use to produce certain amino acids required for growth.
When this pathway is blocked:
-
The plant’s production of essential amino acids is disrupted.
-
Growth and development gradually stop.
-
Susceptible weeds progressively decline and die.
Because glyphosate is systemic, it can move from treated leaves to other parts of susceptible plants, including growing points and some underground tissues.
Weeds it can control
When susceptible and treated at the correct growth stage, glyphosate products may control:
-
Annual grasses — young, actively growing grass weeds.
-
Annual broadleaf weeds — susceptible broadleaf species.
-
Some perennial weeds — effectiveness depends on species, growth stage and treatment conditions.
-
Unwanted vegetation on non-crop land — where the product label permits use.
Safety precautions
-
This is a non-selective herbicide and can damage desirable plants.
-
Wear the protective clothing, gloves and footwear specified on the label.
-
Avoid skin and eye contact and inhalation of spray mist.
-
Prevent drift onto neighbouring crops, gardens and sensitive vegetation.
-
Do not contaminate water sources; follow label restrictions near waterways.
-
Keep away from children, food and animal feed.
-
Store in the original, tightly closed container in a secure place.
