CAS NO. |
1071-83-6 |
|
Chemical name |
N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine |
|
Classification |
Herbicide/Agrochemical |
|
Formulation |
95%TC, 75.7%WDG, 62% SL, 41% SL, 480g/L SL, 360g/L SL |
|
Biochemistry
|
Inhibits 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), an enzyme of the aromatic acid biosynthetic pathway. This prevents synthesis of essential aromatic amino acids needed for protein biosynthesis. | |
Mode of action |
Non-selective systemic herbicide, absorbed by the foliage, with rapid translocation throughout the plant. Inactivated on contact with soil. | |
Usage |
Control of annual and perennial grasses and broad-leaved weeds, pre-harvest, in cereals, peas, beans, oilseed rape, flax and mustard, at c. 1.5-2 kg/ha; control of annual and perennial grasses and broad-leaved weeds in stubble and post-planting/pre-emergence of many crops; as a directed spray in vines and olives, at up to 4.3 kg/ha; in orchards, pasture, forestry and industrial weed control, at up to 4.3 kg/ha. As an aquatic herbicide, at c. 2 kg/ha. | |
Applications
|
Oral: Acute oral LD 50 for rats 5600, mice 11 300, goats 3530 mg/kg. Skin and eye: Acute percutaneous LD 50 for rabbits >5000 mg/kg. Eye irritant; non-irritating to skin (rabbits). Inhalation: LC 50 (4 h) for rats >4.98 mg/l air. |
