Agricultural Uses |
Herbicide: Glufosinate-ammonium is a naturally occurring broad-spectrum contact herbicide that is used to control a wide range of weeds after the crop emerges or for total vegetation control on non-crop lands. It is used on crops that have been genetically engineered. Glufosinate herbicides are also used to desiccate crops before harvest. |
