Frequently Asked Questions
Glycel is a broad-spectrum, non-selective herbicide used to control weeds post emergence. It effectively controls deeply rooted annual grasses, perennial weeds, sedges, and broad-leaved weeds.
Crystal Glycel herbicide contains Glyphosate 41% SL that acts through systemic action within a short time. Because of its fast action, it is an effective solution for rapidly growing grasses and broad-leaved weeds.
Glycel herbicide can be used for tea plantations and non-cropped areas such as roadsides, bunds and ditches for controlling stubborn sedges, grasses, and broad-leaved weeds.
The active ingredient of Glycel herbicide (Glyphosate 41% SL) gets absorbed by the weeds and moves systemically throughout the weed plants and inhibits the synthesis of an essential amino acid involved in plant metabolism. Due to this, plants fail to produce proteins and eventually die.
Glycel herbicide can be used at a dosage range of:
- 10-15 ml/litre
- 2000-3000 ml in 200 litres of water per acre
- 150-225 ml/15 litre pump.
Note: Refer to the label instructions for crop-specific dosages.
Yes, Glycel herbicide can be harmful to beneficial insects if applied incorrectly. Since it is a broad-spectrum herbicide, it will affect pollinators, predators, and other aquatic organisms as well. To reduce the risk of harming beneficial insects, it is advisable to spray during early morning or late afternoon.
Choose a non-windy or no-rain day to apply Glycel herbicide to avoid drifting and washing away. Cooler hours of the day, like early morning or late afternoon, are ideal for spraying. It is advised to spray it on emerging and actively growing weeds.
Glycel can be mixed with other compatible herbicides. This helps in controlling a wider range of weeds. But it is recommended to seek expert advice or follow label claims.
