What is glufosinate
Glufosinate-ammonium is a broad-spectrum contact herbicide, and its systemicity is not strong. Unlike glyphosate, it kills leaves first. Generally through the transpiration of plants, it can be conducted in the xylem of plants, and its properties are between paraquat and glyphosate.
How glufosinate works
Glufosinate is a semi-systemic or very weak and non-conductive contact-killing herbicide. It belongs to the class of phosphonic acids. Its mechanism of action is contact killing by accumulating ammonium and inhibiting the synthesis of glutamine in weeds. Glufosinate-ammonium is a non-selective conduction type herbicide of phosphonic acid. By inhibiting the action of glutamate synthase, an important enzyme in plants, it leads to disorder of nitrogen metabolism in plants, excessive accumulation of ammonium, disintegration of chloroplasts, and inhibition of photosynthesis of plants. effect, eventually leading to the death of the weeds.
The effect of glufosinate
In terms of the speed of weeding, the effect of weeding, and the period for controlling the regeneration of weeds, the field performance of glufosinate-ammonium is very good. As the resistant weeds of glyphosate and paraquat become more and more serious, farmers will Glufosinate is accepted due to its control effect and good environmental performance. For tea gardens, farms, green food bases, etc. with higher ecological requirements, the demand for glufosinate-ammonium will increase.
glufosinate-ammonium
Sowing or transplanting can be carried out after 1 to 4 days of glufosinate-ammonium application, mainly because glufosinate-ammonium is very easy to degrade in the soil. Moreover, glufosinate-ammonium has no harmful effect on the soil, the root system of crops and the growth of subsequent crops. In addition, glufosinate-ammonium is particularly high on crops and is not prone to drift, which means that glufosinate-ammonium can be used for weeding in corn, rice, soybeans, tea gardens, orchards, etc., which cannot be completely avoided during sensitive periods or droplet drift. use on.
