Application

Glyphosate is primarily used as a post-emergent herbicide to control annual and perennial weeds in agriculture, forestry, and urban landscapes. It is a key active ingredient in commercial herbicide formulations, including Roundup^®, due to its systemic action and effectiveness against a wide range of plant species. Researchers utilize Glyphosate to study herbicide resistance mechanisms, environmental persistence, and impacts on non-target organisms. Its role in genetically modified (GM) crops engineered for Glyphosate tolerance is also a major area of investigation.
