Mode of 

action

acts on contact, The mode of action of glufosinate-ammonium occurs as a result of the inhibition of the enzyme glutamine synthetase. This causes a build up of ammonium ions in the plant's tissues that prevents photosynthesis.

Systemic and translocating.

Its mechanism of action-inhibits enolpyruvyl shikimidin phosphate synthase, protein synthesis is hindered

Speed

Works very quickly (24–72 hours)

Works slowly (7–14 days)

Selectivity

Broad-spectrum, glufosinate tends to be more effective on annual broadleaf weeds than annual grasses.

However, high-effective on Glyphosate-Resistant Weeds, such as eleusine indica, horseweed herb.

Controls broadleaf weeds and grasses more than 160 kinds of weeds. Glyphosate is more effective on grasses besides perennial resistant weeds.

Safety   performance

The glufosinate has no influence on the soil, the root system and the subsequent crops.

Long lasting period.

Not easy to drift.

Safe to the crops.

Glyphosate should not be used on crops with shallow roots or exposed roots, such as coriander, pepper, grapes, papaya, etc.

Safety   interval

Can sow or transplant after 2-3 days of application

Can sow or transplant after 7 days of application
