Physical Description:
Contains 360g/litre as the isopropylamine salt in the form of a soluble concentrate.
Chemical Group:
N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine
Uses:
Glyphosate 360 is a non selective herbicide for the control of most annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds in a wide range of situations. Mainly used for spraying out in pasture renovation programmes either as a spray and cultivate or as part of a no-till or minimum-till programme. Also used in pre - harvest weed control, orchards, vineyards, kiwifruit, market gardens, forestry, industrial weed control, waterways and many other areas.
Benefits:
It is a very cost effective non selective herbicide that can be used in a variety of situations. For pasture renewal, it helps eliminate the resident weed populations resulting in a cleaner seedbed, better plant establishment as well as saving valuable tractor hours and diesel. Glyphosate 360 allows faster turnaround times for direct drilling and cultivation whilst saving valuable time. It is also very useful as a moisture conservation tool.
Being non selective it makes it ideal for most total vegetation control programmes from fence lines to industrial yards.
Application:
Ravensdown Glyphosate has so many uses in such a wide variety of situation that it is always best to refer to the Glyphosate 360 Label. Glyphosate 360 is compatible with most commonly used herbicides and insecticides.
Withholding Period:
-
Stock: Annual weeds can be grazed within 3 days of application and 5 days is preferred for perennial species. Situations containing poisonous plants such as ragwort should not be grazed until the plants have died down.
-
Plant back: Glyphosate has no soil activity, crops can be planted immediately after spraying.
Mode of Action:
Once it is in the plant it is translocated to the meristematic tissue. There it inhibits the activity of EPSP synthase, preventing the production of amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine & tryptophan, causing the plants to starve to death. Symptoms under cold conditions can take up to 10 days to appear. This activity only occurs in plants.
Environmental Fate:
Glyphosate that lands on the soil is immediately deactivated through being chemically bound to the soil colloids. Breakdown is by microbial decomposition to compounds such as CO2, H2O, ammonia and phosphates. Glyphosate is not taken up by the roots of plants and will not leach through the soil profile.
Rainfall:
Rain within 6 hours following application may reduce the effectiveness. The addition of an organo - silicone penetrant such as Accelerate will reduce the critical rain-free period.
