Shiva-71 | Ammonium Salt of Glyphosate 71% Sg

Glyphosate 71% SG is a non-selective, systemic, post-emergence herbicide formulated as soluble granules (SG). It is highly effective in controlling annual and perennial weeds, including grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds. This herbicide is widely used in agriculture, forestry, plantations, non-crop areas, and industrial zones.

• Highly effective – Kills weeds from roots to shoots.
• Non-selective – Controls all types of weeds, including difficult-to-kill perennials.
• Systemic Action – Absorbed through leaves and translocated throughout the plant.
• Rainfast in 6 hours – Does not get washed away easily.
• Environmentally friendly – No residual soil activity, making it safe for next crops.

2. Mode of Action:

Glyphosate 71% SG inhibits the enzyme EPSP Synthase (5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase), which is essential for protein synthesis in plants. This disruption stops plant growth, eventually causing yellowing, wilting, and complete death within 7-14 days.

1. Absorbed by Leaves – Enters through foliage and moves systemically.
2. Translocated to Roots – Kills weeds from deep within, preventing regrowth.
3. Non-Selective Action – Eliminates both monocots and dicots.
4. Decomposes in Soil – No residual effect, allowing safe replanting.

3. Target Weeds Controlled:

Glyphosate 71% SG effectively controls a broad range of weeds, including:

Annual Weeds

1. Broadleaf Weeds – Amaranthus, Parthenium, Cleome, Euphorbia
2. Grasses – Echinochloa, Eleusine, Setaria, Digitaria
3. Sedges – Cyperus, Kyllinga

Perennial Weeds

1. Broadleaf Weeds – Convolvulus, Lantana, Sida, Xanthium
2. Grasses – Cynodon dactylon (Bermuda grass), Imperata cylindrica (Cogon grass)
3. Sedges – Cyperus rotundus (Purple nut sedge), Cyperus esculentus (Yellow nut sedge)
4. Woody Shrubs & Bushes – Lantana camara, Prosopis juliflora

4. Recommended Crops & Usage Areas:

Since Glyphosate 71% SG is non-selective, it is mainly used in:

1. Agriculture Fields – Pre-plant application in crops like maize, soybean, wheat, pulses
2. Plantations – Tea, Coffee, Rubber, Coconut
3. Orchards – Mango, Grapes, Citrus, Apple, Guava
4. Non-Crop Areas – Industrial land, railway tracks, roadsides, irrigation canals
5. Forestry – Used for clearing unwanted vegetation in forests
6. Zero-Tillage Farming – Helps prepare fields for direct sowing without plowing
