Can Glufosinate Harm Fruit Trees?

Glufosinate is an organic phosphorus herbicide, which is a non selective contact herbicide and has certain internal absorption.It can be used for weeding in orchards, vineyards and non cultivated land, and also for controlling annual or perennial dicotyledons, poaceae weeds and sedges in potato fields.Glufosinate is generally used for fruit trees. Will it harm fruit trees after spraying? Can it be used at low temperatures?

Can Glufosinate harm fruit trees?

After spraying, Glufosinate is mainly absorbed into the plant through the stems and leaves, and then transmitted to the xylem through plant transpiration.

Glufosinate will be rapidly decomposed by microorganisms in the soil after contact with the soil, generating carbon dioxide, 3-propionic acid and 2-acetic acid, and losing its efficacy.Therefore, the root of the plant can hardly absorb Glufosinate, which is relatively safe and suitable for papaya, banana, citrus and other orchards.

Can Glufosinate be used at low temperature?

In general, it is not recommended to use Glufosinate to weed at low temperatures, but it is recommended to use Glufosinate at temperatures above 15 ℃.At low temperature, the ability of Glufosinate to pass through the Stratum corneum and cell membrane will be reduced, which will affect the herbicidal effect. When the temperature slowly rises, the herbicidal effect of Glufosinate will also be improved.

If rain occurs 6 hours after spraying Glufosinate, the efficacy will not be greatly affected. At this time, the solution has been absorbed.However, if it rains within 6 hours after application, it is necessary to carry out supplementary spraying reasonably according to the actual situation.

Is Glufosinate harmful to human body?

If Glufosinate is used without proper protective measures or is not strictly used according to the instructions, it is easy to cause harm to human body.Glufosinate can only be used after wearing gas mask, protective clothing and other protective measures.
