What is GLYPHOSATE Powder (WSG) 88.8%
GLYPHOSATE Powder (WSG) 88.8% is a highly effective non-selective systemic herbicide designed to control a wide range of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. Its active ingredient, glyphosate, is a glycine derivative that works throughout the plant to stop growth and kill weeds from root to leaf. This product is specially formulated for barren lands and other non-crop areas, making it ideal for maintaining weed-free spaces before planting or in fallow areas.
Farmisto Chemicals ensures high-quality production standards, so farmers in Pakistan can rely on consistent performance for total weed control.
Key Benefits
- Complete weed control for annual grasses and broadleaf weeds
- Systemic action kills roots and prevents regrowth
- Suitable for barren lands and non-crop areas
- Easy to handle 80gm pack for small or large-scale use

How It Works
GLYPHOSATE Powder inhibits an enzyme called EPSPS (5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase), which is essential for plant growth. By blocking this enzyme, the herbicide prevents the plant from producing amino acids necessary for survival. Once absorbed by the leaves and roots, the herbicide moves throughout the plant, effectively killing it from the inside out. This systemic action ensures that even the underground parts of weeds are destroyed, preventing regrowth.
