| Application and Weed Control |
Glyphosate is a non-selective, non-residual post-em herbicide which is absorbed by foliage and translocated throughtout the plant. It is very effective on deep-rooted pernnial species, and annual biennial species of grasses, sedges and broad-leaved weeds. Excellent control of most species has been obtained at rates of 0.034-1.12 kga.i./ha with annual species, 1.68-2.24 kg/ha for some perennial species. In addition, better control of most weeds obtained if applications are made at the later stage of plant maturity. Wiping devices are used where height differences allow selective removal of weeds from crops. Glyphosate-sesquisodium is used as a plant growth regulator on sugarcane.
