Glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine) is a broad-spectrum 41% load product with 15% surfactant systemic herbicide, typically sprayed and absorbed through the leaves, injected into the trunk, or applied to the stump of a tree, used to kill weeds, especially perennials and broadcast or used in the cut-stump treatment as a forestry herbicide. Initially patented and sold by Monsanto in the 1970s under the tradename Roundup, its U.S. patent expired in 2000. It is now also available in other formulations, e.g. Resolva 24H, which contains glyphosate and diquat.[1] Glyphosate is the most used herbicide in the USA.[2] In the US, 5-8 million pounds are used every year on lawns and yards and 85-90 million pounds are used annually in US agriculture.[2]The active ingredient is the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate. Glyphosate's mode of action is to inhibit an enzyme involved in the synthesis of the amino acids tyrosine, tryptophan and phenylalanine. It is absorbed through foliage and translocated to growing points. Because of this mode of action, it is only effective on actively growing plants; it is not effective as a pre-emergence herbicide.Some crops have been genetically engineered to be resistant to it (i.e. Roundup Ready). Such crops allow farmers to use glyphosate as a post-emergence herbicide against both broadleaf and cereal weeds. Soy was the first Roundup Ready crop.

Glyphosate is an aminophosphonic analogue of the natural amino acid glycine and the name is a contraction of glycine, phospho-, and -ate. The molecule has several dissociable hydrogens, especially the first hydrogen of the phosphate group. The molecule tends to exist as a zwitterion where a phosphonic hydrogen dissociates and joins the amine group. Glyphosate is soluble in water to 12g/L at room temperature.Glyphosate was first discovered to have herbicidal activity in 1970 by John E. Franz, while working for Monsanto.[3] Franz received the National Medal of Technology in 1987,[4] and the Perkin Medal for Applied Chemistry.[5] in 1990 for his discoveries.[edit]Formulas and tradenamesAlthough the Roundup trademark is registered with the US Patent Office and still extant, the patent has expired. Glyphosate is marketed in the US and worldwide in different solution strengths under many tradenames[6]: Roundup, Buccaneer, Razor Pro (41%), Genesis Extra II (41% w/ Surfactant), Roundup® Pro Concentrate (50.2 %), Rodeo (51.2%), Aquaneat (53.8%), and Aquamaster (53.5%)[7]. These products may contain other ingredients, causing them to have different effects. For example, Roundup was found to have different effects to glyphosate alone.[8] Roundup is a water based solution containing glyphosate, a surfactant, and other substances.
