Glyphocide Herbicide RXSOL
Target Organisms of Glyphocide Herbicide RXSOL
- In plants, Glyphocide Herbicide RXSOL disrupts the shikimic acid pathway through inhibition of the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase. The resulting deficiency in EPSP production leads to reductions in aromatic amino acids that are vital for protein synthesis and plant growth.
- Glyphocide Herbicide is absorbed across the leaves and stems of plants and is translocated throughout the plant. It concentrates in the meristem tissue.
- Plants exposed to Glyphocide Herbicide display stunted growth, loss of green coloration, leaf wrinkling or malformation, and tissue death. Death of the plant may take from 4 to 20 days to occur.
- The sodium salt of Glyphocide Herbicide can act as a plant growth regulator and accelerate ripening of specific crops.
Non-target Organisms of Glyphocide Herbicide RXSOL
- The shikimic acid pathway is specific to plants and some microorganisms. The absence of this pathway in mammals may explain the low toxicity of Glyphocide Herbicide to non-target organisms.
- Studies indicate that the surfactant polyoxyethyleneamine or polyethoxylated tallow amine (both abbreviated POEA), used in some commercial glyphosate-based formulations, may be more toxic by the oral route to animals than glyphosate itself.
- The mechanism of toxicity of Glyphocide Herbicide in mammals is unknown, but it may cause uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation. However, this hypothesis has been disputed.
Application
Glyphocide Herbicide is a widely used herbicide that controls broadleaf weeds and grasses. Glyphocide Herbicide is a non-selective herbicide, meaning it will kill most plants. It prevents the plants from making certain proteins that are needed for plant growth. Glyphocide Herbicide stops a specific enzyme pathway, the shikimic acid pathway. The shikimic acid pathway is necessary for plants and some microorganisms.
Mode of Action of Glyphocide Herbicide RXSOL:
How to apply Glyphocide Herbicide RXSOL for weed control, grass control, broad leaf control
-
Use only a Flat fan or Cut nozzle for spraying any herbicide.
-
Wash the sprayer with clean water before and after spraying.
-
Use the proper dose as per recommendation. A high dose can lead to damage in crops and a low dose can lead to fewer results.
-
Mix the herbicide in small quantities (1-2 liters) or water first and then make the required volume with water (120-200 L/acre).
-
Use a minimum of 120 L of water in an acre for herbicide spraying.
-
Do not spray herbicide on windy and rainy days.
-
Judge the stage of crop and weeds in case of post-emergence application.
-
Store the herbicide in labeled containers and away from food materials and children.
-
Ensure proper moisture is there in the soil before the application of any herbicide.
Why it is the best to use Glyphocide Herbicide RXSOL?
- A broad spectrum, non-selective, post-emergence herbicide
- Readily translocated through all weeds from grasses, and sedges to broad-leaf weeds
- Highly water soluble
- Non-volatile
Time required to eradicate weeds from field using GLYPHOCIDE HERBICIDE: Most treated weeds show initial symptoms in 2 to 4 days and complete kill in 1 to 2 weeks
Technical Specification
Glyphocide Herbicide is absorbed through foliage, and minimally through roots, and transported to growing points. It inhibits a plant enzyme involved in the synthesis of three aromatic amino acids: tyrosine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine. It is therefore effective only on actively growing plants and is not effective as a pre-emergence herbicide.
