The herbicide Roundup works by being sprayed on targeted weeds for absorption through the leaves and transport down to the roots to inhibit production of an enzyme necessary for the formation of aromatic amino acids and therefore for plant survival.
No, Roundup does not require sunlight to effectively work.
To oversimplify it, a gene is inserted into the plant that keeps the plant from metabolizing glyphosate (roundup).
well, roundup has a freezing point of -100 degrees Fahrenheit so anything above that should work just fine
Roundup may be less effective if it rains shortly after application, as the rain can wash away the herbicide before it has a chance to work. It is generally recommended to apply Roundup on a dry day with no rain in the forecast for at least 24 hours.
To get the best results from Roundup, it should be applied when the daytime temperatures are between 65-85 degress. Roundup will not give satisfactory results if the temperatures are below 50 degrees
It's not quite time for roundup but if you POUR BOILING WATER ON IT that will work any time of year.
4 oz of roundup in 2 gal of water will work just fine.
Roundup typically takes around 1 to 2 weeks to fully kill weeds after application.
Roundup typically needs about 30 minutes to 4 hours to dry on the plants before rain.
Yes it can be. To get the best results when using Roundup you will want the temperatures to be between 65-85 degrees. Roundup will not work with temperatures above 85 degrees because the plants start to go dormant, and when the plants go dormant, they will not absorb the chemical.
Roundup is the name of a herbicide used by farmers to kill weeds. A plant is said to be roundup ready if it is resistant to roundup, so that you can spray a field with roundup and it will kill the weeds but won't kill the roundup ready crop.
Roundup typically takes about 30 minutes to 4 hours to be rainfast, meaning it won't be washed away by rain.
