Abstract
Glyphosate is a widely-used broad-spectrum herbicide with little to no hazard to man or the environment. Glyphosate is highly effective against 90 kinds of emerged grasses, brush and broad-leaf weeds. There is no residual soil activity, it does not leach into non-target areas, and it is non-volatile. It is practically nontoxic to mammals, birds and fish, showing no bioaccumulation in the food chain; it is biodegraded into natural products. When used correctly, glyphosate poses no threat to the environment and its inhabitants.Entities:
