Fruit trees for which glyphosate herbicide is not suitable and the reasons:
Using glyphosate to control weeds in peach, pear and plum orchards not only has a relatively large impact on the yield and quality of peaches, pears and plums, but also easily induces gummosis in peaches, pears and plums, accelerating aging and death. In newly planted peach, pear and plum orchards with young trees, after using glyphosate to control weeds, growth is slow, or the trees even wither and die and fail to survive.
Reasons why orchards are not suitable for glyphosate herbicide:
Glyphosate is a non-selective herbicide with extremely strong damage to root systems, while peaches, pears and plums are shallow-rooted crops, and their root systems are extremely easily damaged, seriously affecting the absorption of fertilizer and water, with a relatively large impact on yield and quality, especially with even more serious impact on young peach, pear and plum trees: in mild cases growth is slow, and in severe cases they die.
It is recommended that fruit growers do not use herbicides such as glyphosate to control weeds, but instead use herbicides such as paraquat. This is because herbicides such as paraquat can only kill the green parts above ground and will not harm the root system. Therefore, using herbicides such as paraquat in peach, pear and plum orchards is relatively safe.
