Glyweli herbicide, containing glyphosate, is a non-selective, systemic herbicide used for controlling a wide range of weeds, including grasses, broadleaf weeds, and woody plants. It's commonly used in agricultural settings, forestry, and non-crop areas for pre-harvest weed control, pre-plant weed control, and general weed management.
Specific uses include:
Agricultural Applications:
- Pre-harvest weed control: In crops like cereals, peas, beans, flax, and mustard, Glyweli can be used to manage weeds before harvesting.
- Stubble and pasture management: It helps control weeds in stubble fields and pastures.
- Pre-plant weed control: Glyweli can be used to clear land before planting various crops.
- Defoliation: It can be used as a defoliant for crops like cotton and hops.
- Desiccation: Glyweli can also be used as a desiccant for crops like pineapples, sugarcane, soybeans, and sunflowers.
Non-Crop Areas:
- Industrial sites: Used for weed control in industrial areas, around buildings, and along roadsides.
- Forestry: Effective in forestry for weed control and site preparation.
- Aquatic weed control: Can be used to manage aquatic weeds.
- Home and garden: Used for general weed control in lawns and gardens.
Specific Weed Control:
- Annual and perennial grasses: Effective against a wide range of grasses, including bermudagrass, crabgrass, and johnsongrass.
- Broadleaf weeds: Controls various broadleaf weeds like clover, dandelion, and chickweed.
- Woody plants: Can be used to control woody plants, brush, and shrubs.
Application:
- Glyweli is a systemic herbicide, meaning it's absorbed by the plant and travels through its system to kill it from the roots up.
- It's typically applied as a foliar spray, with application rates varying depending on the type and severity of the weed infestation.
- It's important to follow the product label instructions for proper mixing and application.
- Avoid spraying when it's windy to prevent drift to desirable plants.
- Rainfastness occurs after a few hours, so delayed rainfall won't significantly reduce its effectiveness.
