Deutsch: Glyphosat / Español: Glifosato / Português: Glifosato / Français: Glyphosate / Italiano: Glifosato
Glyphosate in the environmental context refers to a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide and crop desiccant. It is the most widely used herbicide in agriculture, forestry, urban, and home applications, primarily known for its effectiveness in controlling weeds, especially those that are invasive or problematic for crop production. Glyphosate works by inhibiting a specific enzyme pathway, the shikimic acid pathway, which is necessary for plants and some microorganisms. This pathway does not exist in animals, which is why glyphosate has been considered less harmful to humans and animals.
