Other Options

Glyphosate is a glycine amino acid analogue, interrupting EPSP synthase and inhibiting synthesis of aromatic amino acids (i.e., phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine), leading to a fairly rapid sequence of chlorosis, necrosis, and death. It is a broad-spectrum, non-selective herbicide that is effective on a wide range of species and is particularly ef- fective on grasses. Drift injury to grasses and brush species is a common hazard of foliar over-application.
