Glyphosate

  • Glyphosate is a widely used weedicide that kills weeds by blocking enzymes necessary for growth. Its major constituents include salts of ammonium, potassium, sodium, Isopropylamine and Trimethylsulfonium or Trimesium.
  • Glyphosate has the potential to increase cancer, reproductive defects, developmental toxicity, nerve and immune toxicity.
  • Glyphosate was approved for use as a weedicide only in tea gardens and non-crop areas in India.
  • The Union Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare has banned the use of this weedicide and only authorized pest control operators have allowed its use.
