This makes harvesting more efficient, particularly for grain crops like wheat, barley, or oats. The main difference between the two applications is their concentration, which can range from 0.25% to 41%. Generally, the concentrations of glyphosate are lower for crop applications. Glyphosate is also classified as ...

It is therefore effective only on actively growing plants and is not effective as ...
