What should be noted when applying glyphosate? Please provide guidance
When applying glyphosate, note the following:
1. Glyphosate is a non-selective herbicide; when spraying, never let it contaminate crops, to avoid herbicide damage.
2. For perennial vicious weeds such as cogon grass (Imperata cylindrica) and purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus), apply a second dose 1 month after the first application to achieve the desired control effect.
3. Adding an appropriate amount of diesel oil or washing powder to the spray solution can improve the efficacy.
4. Applying the product on sunny days at high temperatures gives good results; if rain falls within 4-6 hours after spraying, re-spray.
5. Glyphosate is acidic, so plastic containers should be used as much as possible for storage and use.
6. Spraying equipment must be repeatedly washed clean.
7. If the packaging is damaged, the product may absorb moisture and cake under high humidity, and crystals may precipitate out during low-temperature storage; when using, shake the container thoroughly to dissolve the crystals and ensure efficacy.
8. As a systemic, translocated non-selective herbicide, take care during application to prevent spray drift onto non-target plants and cause herbicide damage.
9. It easily complexes with calcium, magnesium, aluminum and other ions and loses activity; when diluting the pesticide, use clean soft water, as adding muddy or dirty water will reduce efficacy.
10. Do not mow, graze livestock or plow the land within 3 days after application.
