It is in chemical sense an organic molecule. Glyphosate can only be originated by organic synthesis by the human. Otherwise, glyphosate is not present in nature.
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup® brand herbicide.
Glyphosate is a herbicide which is an ingredient in over 700 products. When stored in a cool, dry place glyphosate can have a shelf life of over three years.

Glyphosate can be neutralized by adding activated charcoal or other organic matter to the soil to help break down the chemical. It is important to follow safety guidelines and consult with a professional when dealing with glyphosate contamination. Additionally, allowing time for natural degradation processes to occur can also help in neutralizing glyphosate.

Glyphosate is a non-selective herbicide, which means that it kills most plants. It prevents plants from making certain proteins that are needed for plant growth. It stops a specific enzyme pathway, the shikimic acid pathway, that is found only in plants and some microorganisms.
Glyphosate is considered safe when used according to the manufacturer's instructions. However, dogs should not be directly exposed to glyphosate while it is wet, as it may cause skin irritation or gastrointestinal upset if ingested. It is important to keep dogs away from treated areas until the glyphosate has dried completely.
Crops which have been genetically modified to resist the effects of glyphosate, a commonly used herbicide (Roundup is the most common trade name).
