Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide used in the agrochemical and fertilizer industry. It is used to control weeds, especially annual broadleaf weeds and grasses that compete with crops. It is also used to control woody brush and trees. Glyphosate is a non-selective herbicide, meaning it kills most plants it comes into contact with. It is applied to the foliage of plants, and is absorbed through the leaves and translocated to the roots. Glyphosate is a popular choice for farmers due to its low cost and effectiveness. Glyphosate is produced by a number of companies, including Monsanto, Syngenta, Dow AgroSciences, and BASF. It is also available in generic forms from many other companies. Show Less Read more
