EBS Draco 71 Ammonium Salt of Glyphosate 71% Sg

1. Product Overview:

Glyphosate 71% SG is a non-selective, systemic, post-emergence herbicide formulated as soluble granules (SG). It is highly effective in controlling annual and perennial weeds, including grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds. This herbicide is widely used in agriculture, forestry, plantations, non-crop areas, and industrial zones.

• Highly effective – Kills weeds from roots to shoots.

• Non-selective – Controls all types of weeds, including difficult-to-kill perennials.

• Systemic Action – Absorbed through leaves and translocated throughout the plant.

• Rainfast in 6 hours – Does not get washed away easily.

• Environmentally friendly – No residual soil activity, making it safe for next crops.

2. Mode of Action:

Glyphosate 71% SG inhibits the enzyme EPSP Synthase (5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase), which is essential for protein synthesis in plants. This disruption stops plant growth, eventually causing yellowing, wilting, and complete death within 7-14 days.

✅ Absorbed by Leaves – Enters through foliage and moves systemically.
✅ Translocated to Roots – Kills weeds from deep within, preventing regrowth.
✅ Non-Selective Action – Eliminates both monocots and dicots.
✅ Decomposes in Soil – No residual effect, allowing safe replanting.

3. Target Weeds Controlled:

Glyphosate 71% SG effectively controls a broad range of weeds, including:

Annual Weeds

✅ Broadleaf Weeds – Amaranthus, Parthenium, Cleome, Euphorbia
✅ Grasses – Echinochloa, Eleusine, Setaria, Digitaria
✅ Sedges – Cyperus, Kyllinga

🍇 Orchards – Mango, Grapes, Citrus, Apple, Guava
🏡 Non-Crop Areas – Industrial land, railway tracks, roadsides, irrigation canals
🌿 Forestry – Used for clearing unwanted vegetation in forests
🚜 Zero-Tillage Farming – Helps prepare fields for direct sowing without plowing

5. Application & Dosage:

Application Guidelines:

• Mix the required amount of Glyphosate 71% SG in water and apply as a uniform foliar spray.

• Use a flat-fan or flood-jet nozzle for even coverage.

• Spray on actively growing weeds (avoid application during dry stress periods).

• Avoid drift – Do not spray on desired crops or plants.

• Do not mix with soil – It is only effective when applied to leaves.

6. Benefits of Glyphosate 71% SG:

✅ Broad-Spectrum Control – Eliminates all types of weeds.

✅ Saves Labor Cost – Reduces manual weeding effort.
✅ Promotes Zero-Tillage Farming – Prepares land for direct seeding.

7. Precautions & Safety Measures:

⚠️ Wear protective gear – Use gloves, masks, and goggles.
⚠️ Do not apply on windy days – Prevent spray drift to crops.
⚠️ Avoid contact with desirable plants – It is non-selective and will kill all vegetation.
⚠️ Store in a cool, dry place – Keep away from children, animals, and food.
⚠️ Do not mix with other pesticides – Glyphosate must be used alone.
⚠️ Re-entry Period: Wait 24 hours before entering treated areas.
⚠️ Use clean water for mixing – Dirty water may reduce effectiveness.
