What should be noted when using glyphosate for weed control? Please give an introduction.
When using glyphosate herbicide, read the instructions carefully and thoroughly, because glyphosate herbicide is a systemic, broad-spectrum, non-selective herbicide that mainly inhibits enolpyruvyl shikimate phosphate synthase in plants, thereby inhibiting the conversion of shikimate to shikimic acid, tyrosine and tryptophan, interfering with protein synthesis and causing the plant to die. The special precautions during use are introduced as follows:
1. Glyphosate herbicide is a non-selective herbicide. When applying it, never contaminate crops, so as to avoid herbicide damage.
2. For perennial malignant weeds, such as cogon grass (Imperata cylindrica) and nutgrass (Cyperus rotundus), apply the herbicide once more 1 month after the first application to achieve the ideal effect.
3. Adding an appropriate amount of diesel oil or washing powder to the spray solution can improve the efficacy.
4. Applying the herbicide on sunny days at high temperatures gives good results. If it rains 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 washed repeatedly and thoroughly.
7. When the packaging is damaged, it may absorb moisture and cake under high humidity, and crystals may also form during low-temperature storage. When using, shake the container fully to dissolve the crystals so as to maintain efficacy.
8. Because it is a systemic, non-selective herbicide, when applying it, care should be taken to prevent the spray solution from drifting onto non-target plants and causing herbicide damage.
9. It easily combines with calcium, magnesium, lead and other ions and loses activity. When diluting the pesticide, use clean drinking water; mixing it with muddy or dirty water will reduce efficacy.
10. Within 3 days after application, do not cut grass, graze livestock or plow the land.
