Active Ingredients

Glyphosate

Formulation Type

Soluble liquid (SL)

Region/Countries

Kenya

Key Targets

Broadleaf weeds

Grass weeds

Crops

Coffee

Mode of Action

Glyphogan 480 SL is systemic where it is absorbed through the green leaves and stems and translocated from treated vegetation growth to underground roots, rhizomes or stolons of weeds. Visible effects on treated weeds appear within 7-14 days after spraying as gradual wilting, reddening and then yellowing of the foliage are observed first on grass weeds, but taking longer to appear on broad leaved weeds.

Application Advice

Application Rates

Weeds	Rates	Timing
Perennial	3L/ha in 1000L of water 600ml/100L, 60ML/20L Except watergrass(6L/ha in 1000L of water-followed by the following rates 600ml/100L, 120ML/20L ) Stargrass upto (10L/ha in 1000L of water 1L/100L, 200ML/20L)	At full emergence of healthy and actively growing weeds. Perennial grasses can be controlled during an extended period of time from tillering stage on up to post flowering, but before onset of natural or enforced senescence.
Annual	2L/ha in 1000L of water 200ml/100L 40ML/20L	Annual weeds are controlled during a long period from an early stage up to flowering, provided they are actively growing and an adequate leafmass has developed at treatment time

Annual weeds are controlled during a long period from an early stage up to flowering, provided they are actively growing and an adequate leafmass has developed at treatment time

Directions for Use

Application should be carefully directed to avoid any spray contact with green parts of the crop. Spraying should coincide with active growth particularly during long and short rains. Coffee should be established for at least 18 months before spraying can take place, otherwise injury by accidental trunk contact with Glyphogan 480 SL may occur.

Weather Conditions

Rain free period of at least 4-6 hours must follow spraying. Do not spray onto very wet weeds or weeds suffering from drought stress as reduced control may occur. Do not spray in windy conditions to avoid destruction of desirable vegetation due to drift.

Safety

Glyphogan 480 SL is toxic to fish and bees. To avoid damage to bee populations foliar treatments should not be applied during flowering of the target crop. Do not contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used packs.
