 Product Category: Herbicides
Active Ingredient: Glyphosate
Chemical Group: Organophosphorus
Core Properties:
• Glyphosate was first reported as a herbicide in 1971.
• In pure chemical terms Glycel is an organophosphate in that it contains carbon
and phosphorous. However, it does not affect the nervous system in the same way
as organophosphate insecticides, and is not a cholinesterase inhibitor.
• After application, any Glycel that reaches the soil is tightly bound to soil
particles and will not wash off, nor remain active. Glycel rapidly broken down
in soil and water to natural products – carbon dioxide, water, nitrogen and phosphates.
• Glycel will not adversely affect soil microorganisms; in fact they actually
feed on it to break it down! It does not adversely affect the natural breakdown
of plant matter in the soil. A herbicide that is truly easy on the environment.
• Glycel can be tank mixed with residual herbicides to give long-term weed control
under certain situations.
• Unlike mechanical tillage, Glycel does not cause soil disturbance, root pruning
or trunk bruising. Shallow feeder roots are left intact and the soil structure is
not adversely affected. Tillage implements often damage irrigation lines, cause
erosion and surface sealing which reduces water penetration and causes excess water
run-off, which potentially reduces harvest size, quality and value. Water run-off
may make the use of harvesting equipment difficult.
• Unlike other herbicides, when Glycel enters the plant, it translocate's (i.e.
moves through the sap stream) throughout the plant, killing it roots and all. So
there’s no risk of re-growth of the sprayed weeds.
Mode of Action:
Glycel is a broad spectrum, non-selective systemic herbicide. It is effective
in killing all plant types including grasses, perennials and woody plants. As a
herbicide Glycel works by being absorbed into the plant mainly though its leaves
but also through soft stalk tissue. It is then transported throughout the plant
where it acts on various enzyme systems inhibiting amino acid metabolism in what
is known as the shikimic acid pathway. This pathway exists in higher plants and
microorganisms but not in animals. Plants treated with Glycel slowly die over
a period of days or weeks, and because the chemical is transported throughout the
plant, no part survives.

Method of Application:
• When weeds are of 6 ~ 8 inch; spray Glycel covering all weeds thoroughly.
Water Quality / PH Adjuster:
Glycel products are formulated to be mixed with water to facilitate application.
Often, that water (whether it comes from a well or rural water association) contains
large amounts of dissolved salts. Hardness is a measure of how much salt water contains.
The harder the water, the higher the salt concentration. These dissolved salts in
hard water may reduce Glycel’s effectiveness, particularly calcium and magnesium
salts. These salts have a positive charge and may associate with the negatively
charged Glycel
molecule, displacing the isopropylamine or other salt used in
the formulated product. Plants absorb less Glycel bound with calcium or magnesium salts than the formulated
salt of Glycel, thus reducing Glycel activity.
Although specific recommendations vary, most Glycel labels recommend adding
ammonium sulfate. The role of ammonium sulfate is considerably different than the
function of nonionic surfactants. Surfactants are active primarily on the leaf surface
and improve herbicide absorption into plants. Ammonium sulfate, on the other hand,
is active primarily in the spray tank where it prevents the antagonistic salts from
interacting with Glycel. Ammonium sulfate should always be added to the tank
prior to Glycel to prevent the formation of inactive complexes between Glycel
and antagonistic cations.
Special Recommendation:
• Always use clean water for preparing spray solution.
• Use zero drift Nozzle/ Spray shield when spraying in the field.
• Mixing with other herbicides may reduce the activity of Glycel.
• Do not use Metal sprayers, always use Plastic Sprayers.
SKUs:
Glycel is available in 1 liter and 5 liters pack sizes.
