Glufosinate-Ammonium 200 (4Farmers) is a non-selective, contact herbicide that is used to control a wide range of broadleaf and grass weeds. It is available as a water-soluble concentrate and can be applied to a variety of crops, including orchards, vineyards, vegetable crops, and non-agricultural land.

How Glufosinate-Ammonium Works

Glufosinate-Ammonium works by inhibiting the enzyme EPSPS, which is essential for the production of amino acids in plants. This causes the plant to die of starvation. The herbicide is absorbed by the leaves and shoots of the plant and moves throughout the plant. It is also translocated from treated leaves to the roots.

Benefits

• Effective against a wide range of weeds
• Can be used on a variety of crops
• Non-selective, so it will kill all plants it comes into contact with
• Low toxicity to mammals and birds
• Low volatility, so it is less likely to drift
• No residual activity, so it does not leave a toxic residue on the soil or crops

Application Rates

The application rate of Glufosinate-Ammonium will vary depending on the type of crop, the type of weed, and the growth stage of the weeds. The recommended application rates are listed in the product label.

Safety

Glufosinate-Ammonium is a low-toxicity herbicide, but it is important to follow the label instructions carefully to avoid any adverse effects. It is harmful if absorbed through the skin or swallowed. It will also irritate the skin and eyes.
