Description

Glufosinate-P is a high-purity, non-selective contact herbicide and a key chiral isomer of the active ingredient glufosinate-ammonium. This compound matters for its potent inhibition of glutamine synthetase, offering a powerful mode of action for effective weed control in modern agriculture. It is primarily needed by agrochemical manufacturers for formulating advanced herbicide products, as well as by research institutions for biochemical studies and the development of new crop protection solutions.

Application

• Active Ingredient in Herbicide Formulations: As the primary active component in non-selective, post-emergence herbicides for broad-spectrum weed management.
• Agricultural Desiccant: Used as a crop desiccant to facilitate harvest in crops such as potatoes, sunflowers, and oilseed rape.
• Orchard and Vineyard Management: For weed control in perennial crops, including fruit orchards, vineyards, and rubber plantations.
• Industrial Vegetation Control: Management of unwanted vegetation on non-crop land, including railway tracks, industrial sites, and utilities right-of-way.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a critical reference standard and tool for studying enzyme inhibition, plant physiology, and herbicide resistance mechanisms.
• Seed Production: Used in seed production fields to eliminate weed competition and ensure genetic purity of the seed crop.

Quality Control

Our Glufosinate-P is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Each lot is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assay by HPLC, to confirm identity and potency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and handling properties. Keep away from incompatible materials.
