Glyphosate 48% SL
GLYPHOSATE 48% SL is a widely used non-selective
and systemic herbicide formulated as a Soluble Liquid (SL) designed for
effective control of a broad spectrum of annual and perennial weeds in
agricultural and non-crop areas.
Mode of Action:
Glyphosate: A systemic herbicide that inhibits the EPSP
synthase enzyme in the shikimic acid pathway blocking the synthesis of
essential amino acids required for plant growth.
It is absorbed through leaves and translocated throughout
the plant, including roots, leading to complete weed death.

weeds, including:
- Grassy
weeds (e.g., Cynodon dactylon – Doob grass)
