Frequently Asked Questions
Roundup is a fast-acting, non-selective herbicide used to control weeds post emergence. It effectively controls deeply rooted annual grasses and broad-leaved weeds in non-cropped areas.
Roundup herbicide contains Glyphosate 41% SL that acts through systemic action within a short time. Because of its quick action, Roundup is an effective solution for rapidly growing weeds.
Roundup Glyphosate 41% SL herbicide can be used for tea plantations and non-cropped areas such as roadsides, bunds, industrial sites, orchards, and ditches for controlling stubborn weeds. Roundup herbicide can also be used in paddy fields before sowing or planting.
The active ingredient of Roundup herbicide, when comes in contact with the weeds, moves systematically through the weed plants and inhibits synthesis of an essential amino acid that is needed for various metabolic functions. This disrupts the plant metabolism and causes death of weeds.
Roundup herbicide can be used at a dosage range of:
- 5-6 ml/litre
- 1000-1200 ml in 200 litres of water per acre
- 75-90 ml/15 litre pump.
Note: Refer to the label instructions for crop-specific dosages.
