Roundup - Glyphosate 41% SL Non-Selective Herbicide

• Roundup Herbicides are the flagship of Monsanto’s agricultural chemicals business.
• Roundup Herbicide and other glyphosate products can be used as part of an environmentally responsible weed control program and fit with our vision of sustainable agriculture and environmental protection.
• Roundup (glyphosate ) is a non-selective herbicide, which can eliminate almost any type of weed or grass.
• When the herbicide comes in contact with a weed, it targets an enzyme that is essential for plant growth.
• It controls very effectively both annual and perennial weeds.
• It is also used to control weeds in plantation crops, water channels, bunds and open fields.

FAQs about Roundup Glyphosate 41% SL Non-Selective Herbicide:

1) What is Roundup Glyphosate 41% SL?

     Roundup Glyphosate 41% SL is a non-selective herbicide containing 41% glyphosate. It's used to control a wide range of weeds and grasses by inhibiting a specific enzyme pathway found in plants.

2) How does glyphosate work?

      Glyphosate works by blocking a specific enzyme pathway called the shikimic acid pathway, which is essential for plant growth. This pathway is not present in animals or humans, making glyphosate effective against plants while being relatively safe for humans and animals.

3) What types of plants does Roundup target?

       Roundup is non-selective, meaning it will kill or damage most plants it comes into contact with, including grasses, broadleaf weeds, and woody plants. It should be used carefully to avoid harming desirable plants.

4) How do you apply Roundup Glyphosate 41% SL?

• Mixing: Dilute the herbicide with water according to the label instructions. Commonly, a typical dilution rate is 1-2 ounces of glyphosate per gallon of water.

• Application: Use a sprayer to apply the solution directly to the leaves of the target weeds. Make sure to cover the leaves thoroughly.

• Timing: Apply when weeds are actively growing. Avoid applying just before heavy rain, which can wash away the herbicide.

5) What safety precautions should be taken?

• Protective Gear: Wear gloves, protective clothing, and eye protection to avoid skin and eye contact.

• Avoid Inhalation: Apply in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhaling the mist.

• Environmental Safety: Avoid application near water bodies, as glyphosate can potentially affect aquatic life.

6) How long does it take for Roundup to work?

      You should see visible results, such as wilting or yellowing, within 7-14 days after application. The exact time may vary based on the type of weed, weather conditions, and the health of the weeds.

7) Can Roundup be used on all types of surfaces?

        Roundup is typically used in outdoor areas like gardens, lawns, and pathways. It should not be used on or near areas where desirable plants are growing unless those plants are protected from contact.

8) What should you do if Roundup contacts desirable plants?

     Immediately wash off the herbicide from the plant with water to minimize damage. In cases where significant damage occurs, the plant might not recover.

9) How should you store Roundup Glyphosate 41% SL?

      Store the herbicide in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets. Ensure the container is tightly sealed when not in use.

10) Is Roundup Glyphosate 41% SL safe for pets and wildlife?

      While glyphosate is generally considered low-risk to pets and wildlife once dried, it’s best to keep animals away from treated areas until the herbicide has completely dried.
