Glufosinate-ammonium TC
Glufosinate-Ammonium is a synthetic organophosphate glutamine synthetase inhibitor and neurotoxin that is used as a Herbicide.
Glufosinate-Ammonium is used for control of a wide range of annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds and grasses in fruit orchards, vineyards, rubber and oil palm plantations, ornamental trees and bushes, non-cropland, and pre-emergence in vegetables. Compositae, and certain Boraginaceae.
