What is the difference between glyphosate and glufosinate? Please explain
Compared with glyphosate, glufosinate acts faster, and it can also control some weeds that have developed resistance to glyphosate.
Glufosinate is a phosphinic acid non-selective contact herbicide and a glutamine synthetase inhibitor with partial systemic activity. Within a short time after application, ammonium metabolism in the weeds is disrupted, and the cytotoxic ammonium ions accumulate in the weeds; at the same time, photosynthesis is severely inhibited, achieving the herbicidal effect. It is suitable for controlling dicotyledonous weeds and grass weeds in orchards, vineyards and non-cultivated land. To control broadleaf weeds, apply at the beginning of vigorous weed growth; to control grass weeds, apply at the beginning of tillering.
Glyphosate is a systemic, conductive, broad-spectrum, non-selective herbicide. It mainly inhibits enolpyruvylshikimate phosphate synthase in weeds, inhibiting the conversion of shikimate to phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan, thereby interfering with protein synthesis and ultimately causing plant death. Glyphosate has strong systemic and conductive activity; it can be translocated through stems and leaves to the underground parts, and can also be translocated between different tillers of the same plant. It has a strong destructive effect on the underground tissues of perennial deep-rooted weeds and can reach depths that ordinary agricultural machinery cannot reach. This herbicide has a broad weed-killing spectrum and can control weeds in more than 40 families, including monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous, annual and perennial, herbaceous and shrub plants.
