How to buy quality glufosinate ammonium products

There are many brands of glufosinate ammoniumproducts on the market, and even products from the same manufacturer can vary in quality, resulting in price differences. So how do we differentiate between good and bad products? The most important factor is their environmental friendliness. Not all glufosinate ammonium products are harmless to the soil.

When choosing glufosinate ammonium products, the most intuitive factor is color. Glufosinate ammonium products come in light blue, light yellow, dark green, navy blue, dark brown, and red. The main reason for color differences is the difference in product formulation processes. Light blue and light yellow products are mainly made from raw materials with less impurities and are expensive. Other colors are mainly made from mother liquor or waste liquid formulations. Products made from mother liquor formulations have a lower quality and contain some impurities. Products made from waste liquid or mother liquor, or even directly from waste liquid formulations, have more impurities and cause greater damage to the soil. However, they are very cheap.

Why do formulations made from fine powder, mother liquor, or waste liquid have an impact on the soil? It is mainly related to the cyanide and chloride in the product. The glufosinate ammonium raw material produced by Jiangsu Agro Farm Chemical has been optimized and completely free of chloride and cyanide. The liquid produced has no harm to the soil and crops. However, mother liquor contains a small amount of chloride, and waste liquid contains high concentrations of chloride and cyanide. Chloride can cause harm to citrus fruits and bananas, while cyanide can harm the root system of all plants. If farmers use such products repeatedly, it can lead to withered branches and leaves, and even dead seedlings with rotten roots.

Therefore, when choosing glufosinate ammonium products, it is recommended to choose products made from fine powder formulations as much as possible.
