Endothall is a selective contact herbicide that has been used to manage submerged aquatic vegetation for over 50 years. The herbicide damages the cells of susceptible plants at the point of contact but does not affect areas untouched by the herbicide, like roots or tubers (underground storage structures).
The glyphosate-based herbicide RoundUp (styled: Roundup) was developed in the 1970s by Monsanto. Glyphosate was first registered for use in the U.S. in 1974. [4] Glyphosate-based herbicides were initially used in a similar way to paraquat and diquat, as non-selective herbicides. Attempts were made to apply them to row crops, but problems with ...
This is a list of herbicides. These are chemical compounds which have been registered as herbicides . The names on the list are the ISO common name for the active ingredient which is formulated into the branded product sold to end-users. [ 1 ]
Glyphosate and related herbicides are often used in invasive species eradication and habitat restoration, especially to enhance native plant establishment in prairie ecosystems. The controlled application is usually combined with a selective herbicide and traditional methods of weed eradication such as mulching to achieve an optimal effect. [68]
Roundup is a brand name of herbicide originally produced by Monsanto, which Bayer acquired in 2018. Prior to the late-2010s formulations, it used broad-spectrum glyphosate-based herbicides. [1]
The two most common active ingredients in herbicides for Phragmites control are glyphosate and imazapyr. [ 29 ] [ 30 ] It is important to select the proper herbicide for the location. Further, even the proper herbicide can lead to unintended consequences since a large amount of decaying dead plant material can depress oxygen levels in the water ...
In the United States as of 2014, atrazine was the second-most widely used herbicide after glyphosate, [16] with 76 million pounds (34 thousand metric tons) of it applied each year, [19] [20] nearly identical to its usage in 1974, of 76.8 million pounds. [21] Atrazine continues to be one of the most widely used herbicides in Australian ...
The triketone herbicides were found to be effective on a wide range of commercially-important weed species and to have both pre- and post-emergence activity. [9] Mesotrione was chosen for development (by Zeneca Agrochemicals under the code number ZA1296) because it controls a wide range of broad-leaved weeds that compete with maize and can also suppress some annual grass weeds that may be ...
