The many advantages of pre-harvest glyphosate

APPLYING pre-harvest glyphosate to a crop will give the most effective long-term control of scutch, thistles, potatoes etc. The best results were achieved when the weeds were actively growing in moist soils.

Leaving glyphosate application until mid-September will miss some of the shoots that did not emerge after the harvest.

A sizeable proportion of growers use pre-harvest glyphosate as a harvest aid.
