Isopropyl amine salt is offered / preferred as it is more soluble in water to the extent of 15- 20 percent more than sodium or ammonium salts. As absorbtion of actives by plant is also governed by concentration gradient this also becomes an important factor in its utility. Glyphosate is absolutely deadly to vast majority of all plants in the plant kingdom. It is possibly the most translocatable plant poisons ever known.

Should you use rhubarb leaves in the garden?
I think the best weedkiller for Docks is any weedkiller containing Glyphosate. Only spray directly on the weed you want to kill as it will kill everything it touches. If you use a glyphosate weedkiller it is possible to plant soon after, best to wait until the ground had dried up for the weedkiller. Glyphosate works through the plant leaves and not the soil, it is inert once it is on the soil. The weedkiller used in Vietnam was Agent Orange a mixture of 2 4 5 T and 2 4 D in equal quantities. Rhubarb Leave are highly toxic to humans as the contain Oxalic acid but do not spray near anything edible just in case of drift. This also answers the question can you eat rhubarb leaves, NO.
