Glyphosate 71% SG

Glyphosate 71% SG

Glyphosate 71% SG is the world’s most trusted non-selective systemic herbicide, now available in its strongest granule form for Indian farmers. Containing the ammonium salt of Glyphosate at 71% concentration, it delivers faster absorption, stronger action, and longer-lasting weed control compared to the standard 41% SL liquid version, making it the preferred choice for farmers dealing with tough perennial and woody weed problems.

How Glyphosate 71% SG Works

This herbicide works in four clear steps after spraying on actively growing weeds. First, it is absorbed rapidly through the leaf surface within minutes of application. It then moves downward through the plant’s phloem — reaching roots, rhizomes, underground tubers, and all growing points. Inside the plant, it blocks the EPSPS enzyme, which is essential for producing the aromatic amino acids needed for protein synthesis. Without these proteins, the weed starves at every growth point and dies completely within 10 to 21 days, with no regrowth from roots or underground parts. Once it reaches the soil, Glyphosate binds tightly to soil particles and is immediately inactivated, meaning it does not leach or harm seeds planted 15 to 20 days after application.

Why Farmers Choose This Herbicide

One of the standout advantages of Glyphosate 71% SG over the standard liquid version is its granule form, which gives better absorption and faster action, produces less spray drift during application, and has a longer shelf life than liquid formulations. The higher active ingredient load also means a lower dose is needed per acre, making packs lighter and more economical per treated area.

This herbicide is especially valued for its ability to kill perennial and woody weeds completely from the root level — a task that many contact herbicides simply cannot achieve. Farmers preparing land before sowing, managing paddy bunds, clearing plantation inter-rows, or maintaining non-crop areas rely on Glyphosate 71% SG as their go-to total weed clearance solution. Because it leaves no soil residual activity once bound to soil particles, fields are safe for crop planting within 15 to 20 days of application, making it suitable for zero-tillage and conservation farming programs as well.

Key Benefits

• Kills annual and perennial grasses, broadleaf weeds, and sedges from the root level
• Stronger and faster acting than standard 41% SL formulation
• Systemic root-level action prevents weed regrowth
• Less drift risk from granule form compared to liquid spray
• No soil residual activity — safe to plant crops within 15 to 20 days
• Ideal for pre-sowing land preparation, tea, plantations, and non-crop areas
• Rainfast in 4 to 6 hours after application

Why Crop Nutrition Matters After Weed Clearance

After using Glyphosate 71% SG to completely clear the field before sowing, giving the new crop strong nutritional support helps it establish quickly. Products like Humic Acid 98% Flakes help improve soil health and build stronger roots from the early growth stage, while Power PGR Liquid supports better flowering and fruiting as the crop matures toward harvest.

Safety Tips & Precautions

• Non-selective — never spray directly on crop plants; use directed spray only on target weeds
• Use a hooded or shielded sprayer in orchards to prevent drift onto tree leaves or bark
• Wear gloves, mask, and protective clothing while mixing and spraying
• Spray on actively growing weeds at 4 to 8 leaf stage for best results
• Avoid spraying in windy conditions or before expected rainfall within 4 to 6 hours
• Wash hands and skin thoroughly with soap after use; keep away from children and animals

Storage Instructions

Store Glyphosate 71% SG in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep sealed in the original container and out of reach of children and animals.
