Glufosinate Ammonium 13.5% SL is a broad-spectrum, non-selective contact herbicide used for post-emergence weed control in agricultural and non-crop areas. It inhibits glutamine synthetase, causing ammonia accumulation and disrupting photosynthesis, leading to weed desiccation and death. Universally preferred as an alternative to glyphosate, particularly in glyphosate-resistant weed management programmes. Also known as Ammonium (2S)-2-amino-4-[hydroxy(methyl)phosphoryl]butanoate.

Used for weed control in row crops, orchards, vineyards, and plantations.
Applied for non-selective weed management in nurseries and landscaping.
Controls weeds in non-crop areas like roadsides, railways, and industrial sites.
Store in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 2–8°C (35–46°F).
Keep away from moisture, direct sunlight, and oxidizing agents.
Store in airtight, non-reactive containers to maintain stability.
Available in 1 L, 5 L, 20 L, and bulk packaging for industrial and commercial use.
It inhibits glutamine synthetase, causing ammonia buildup in plant tissues, leading to cell toxicity and death.
It effectively controls annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and grasses, including glyphosate-resistant species.
No, it is a contact herbicide, meaning it only affects the parts of the plant it directly touches.
Yes, it is often tank-mixed with other herbicides for broader weed control and resistance management.
It decomposes rapidly in the soil, reducing environmental persistence and allowing for crop rotation.
When used as directed, it has low acute toxicity but should be handled with proper safety precautions to avoid skin and eye irritation.
