Glufosinate-P-ammonium inhibits an enzyme called glutamine synthetase in susceptible plants. This enzyme is important for nitrogen metabolism and the removal of ammonia produced during normal plant processes.
When the enzyme is inhibited:
-
Ammonia accumulates in plant tissues.
-
Photosynthesis and other essential plant processes are disrupted.
-
Susceptible weeds lose function, develop visible injury and eventually die.
Glufosinate is primarily a contact herbicide with limited movement within many plants. Good spray coverage of actively growing weeds is therefore important.
 Weeds it can control
When susceptible and treated according to the approved label, SUNGLUSATE-P may control:
-
Annual grasses — young, actively growing weeds.
-
Broadleaf weeds — susceptible weeds with broad leaves.
-
Certain perennial weeds — control varies with species, growth stage and treatment conditions.
-
Inter-row weeds — weeds growing between crop rows or plantation trees, where the label permits application.
The exact weed species and effectiveness depend on the product label and local conditions. Do not assume it controls every grass or perennial weed.
