Technical Name: Ammonium Salt of Glyphosate 71% SG
Ammonium salt of glyphosate 71% SG is a systemic, non-selective herbicide used to control a wide range of weeds, including annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds. The “71% SG” indicates the concentration (71% active ingredient) and formulation (Soluble Granule). It is often used in non-crop areas like fields and bunds, or in specific crops like tea, and works by inhibiting a key enzyme in the plant’s synthesis of essential amino acids.
Safety and Handling
- Protective equipment: Always wear protective gear like gloves, a mask, and goggles when mixing and spraying.
- Application conditions: Do not spray during high wind to prevent drift onto desirable plants or water bodies.
- Food and feed: Keep away from food, animal feed, and water sources.
- Post-application: Do not allow grazing in the sprayed area for at least 7-10 days. Thoroughly wash any contaminated clothes and body parts after spraying.
- Ingestion: Ingestion can be fatal, so handle with extreme care.
Product Details and Mechanism:
- Active Ingredient: Ammonium salt of glyphosate.
- Concentration: 71%
- Formulation: SG (Soluble Granule)
- Mechanism: It is a systemic herbicide, meaning it is absorbed through the plant’s leaves and transported to the roots. It works by inhibiting the EPSP synthase enzyme (EPSPS), which prevents the synthesis of aromatic amino acids necessary for protein production, leading to the plant’s death.
- Selectivity: Non-selective, which means it can kill or damage any plant it comes into contact with.
- Application: It is applied to the foliage of the weeds and is effective against both annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds.
- Use areas: Commonly used in non-crop areas (e.g., field bunds, water channels) and certain crops like tea.
