Glyphosate

Technical Profile: Gliphat Herbicide

"Gliphat" is a non-selective systemic herbicide based on the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate, manufactured by Nanjing Goldchance Agrochem Co., Ltd. (China). The core advantage of this formulation lies in its high active ingredient concentration, which effectively blocks essential enzyme processes in actively growing weeds. The preparation inhibits the synthesis of aromatic amino acids, leading to total plant death, including the root system.

Systemic Action and Weed Control

Unlike contact herbicides, glyphosate is absorbed by the green mass upon foliar application and translocated via the phloem throughout the plant. For agronomists, this ensures effective control over the most stubborn perennial species:

• Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) and quackgrass (Elymus repens) are suppressed through deep rhizome penetration.
• Annual grasses and broadleaf weeds (Common lambsquarters, Green foxtail) are destroyed without the risk of regrowth.
• Cereal regrowth (volunteer crops) is removed, eliminating competition for moisture and nutrients.

The soluble concentrate formulation ensures rapid preparation of the spray solution and excellent compatibility with adjuvants, which is critical when dealing with mature or overgrown weeds.

Application Modes and Field Efficiency

Utilizing "Gliphat" as a desiccant allows for significant acceleration and simplification of the harvest process by ensuring uniform crop maturation. With a recommended application rate of 2.0 to 3.0 L/ha (or higher depending on weed pressure), it offers a balance between cost-effectiveness and field cleanliness. Classified under hazard class 3, the product is a standard solution for field application provided safety protocols are followed. With a re-entry interval of just 1 day, it provides high flexibility for field operations.
