Shivalik Rounder 71 Glyphosate 71% SG Systemic Herbicide

Shivalik Rounder 71 Glyphosate 71% SG Systemic Herbicide

Shivalik Rounder 71 is a non-selective systemic herbicide containing Ammonium Salt of Glyphosate 71% SG. It is designed for post-emergence control of susceptible annual and perennial weeds in approved application areas. The herbicide is absorbed primarily through green foliage and translocated within actively growing weeds, helping control unwanted vegetation, including susceptible grasses, broadleaf weeds and certain sedges.

Rounder 71 acts by inhibiting an essential enzyme involved in amino acid synthesis. Unlike selective herbicides, glyphosate can damage or kill many desirable plants if spray contacts their foliage. In India, the published approved-use information for Glyphosate 71% SG identifies tea plantations and non-crop areas. Application must follow the registered product label and applicable regulations.

Product Details

Key Features and Benefits

• Systemic Herbicide: Absorbed through weed foliage and transported to growing tissues, including underground plant parts.
• Broad-Spectrum Weed Management: Controls a range of susceptible grassy and broadleaf weeds when used according to approved directions.
• Post-Emergence Action: Designed to act on weeds that have already emerged and are actively growing.
• Perennial Weed Management: Translocation within plants can help control susceptible perennial weeds, including certain weeds with underground structures.
• Soluble Granule Formulation: SG formulation is designed to dissolve in water for preparing a spray solution.
• Supports Vegetation Management: Helps reduce unwanted weed growth in approved treatment areas.

Recommended Application Areas

Published Indian registration references for Glyphosate 71% SG specify the following uses:

• Tea Plantations: Management of listed weeds using label-approved application practices that avoid contact with desirable crop foliage.
• Non-Crop Areas: Management of susceptible weeds in specifically approved non-cropped locations.

Important: Glyphosate is non-selective. Direct contact with crop leaves, green stems and other desirable vegetation may cause serious injury. Do not use this product over standing food crops or in other locations unless expressly permitted by its registered label.

Target Weeds

Glyphosate 71% SG registered technical references include susceptible weeds such as:

• Cynodon dactylon – Bermuda grass / Doob grass.
• Cyperus rotundus – Purple nutsedge / Motha.
• Digitaria sanguinalis – Large crabgrass.
• Ageratum conyzoides – Billygoat weed.
• Digera arvensis – False amaranth.
• Paspalum conjugatum – Sour paspalum.
• Sida acuta – Wireweed.

Actual control depends on weed species, growth stage, weather conditions, application accuracy and susceptibility.

How Does Shivalik Rounder 71 Work?

Glyphosate acts by inhibiting the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) enzyme, which plants require for the synthesis of certain essential aromatic amino acids.

After application to green weed foliage, the active ingredient is absorbed and moves through the plant to actively growing tissues. Interruption of essential metabolic processes gradually causes growth inhibition, yellowing, wilting and eventual weed death.

Visible effects are generally gradual rather than immediate. Their timing depends on weed species, plant maturity, weather and growing conditions.

Dosage and Application Method

Seller-Listed Dosage: Approximately 1 kg per acre, according to the supplied DynaFarm retailer listing.

Indian Registered-Use Technical Reference: Glyphosate 71% SG at 3 kg per hectare, approximately 1.21 kg per acre, with 500 litres of water per hectare, approximately 202 litres per acre, for the specified registered uses.

Important: The retailer recommendation and official technical reference differ. These figures should not be treated as a confirmed Shivalik Rounder 71 brand-specific dosage. Follow the current registered Rounder 71 label and leaflet before application.

Foliar Application

1. Confirm that the treatment area and target weeds are permitted by the registered product label.
2. Identify actively growing weeds and their appropriate treatment stage.
3. Measure the exact approved quantity using suitable weighing equipment.
4. Dissolve the required quantity in clean water according to label mixing instructions.
5. Apply uniformly to target weed foliage using a calibrated sprayer and recommended nozzle.
6. Prevent spray drift or direct contact with crop foliage and desirable plants.
7. Follow the specified rain, re-entry, harvest and other application restrictions.

Best Time for Application

Rounder 71 is a post-emergence herbicide, meaning it is intended for weeds that have emerged above the soil surface.

The registered technical leaflet recommends treating perennial weeds when sufficient foliage is present, generally at least 4–8 leaves, to support absorption and translocation.

Avoid application during high winds, rainfall or intense heat. Follow the exact weather and irrigation restrictions stated on the label.

Important Precautions

• Glyphosate is non-selective and may injure or kill desirable plants.
• Use only in registered application areas and for approved target weeds.
• Do not use directly over growing crops unless explicitly authorised on the label.
• Wear protective gloves, eye protection and suitable clothing.
• Avoid spray drift to adjacent crops, gardens and natural vegetation.
• Prevent contamination of ponds, wells, streams and other water sources.
• Do not mix with other pesticides unless label instructions permit it.
• Follow applicable Indian and state-level restrictions for glyphosate handling and application.
• Store in the original packaging away from children, animals, food and feed.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Shivalik Rounder 71?

It is a non-selective systemic herbicide containing Ammonium Salt of Glyphosate 71% SG.

2. Is Rounder 71 selective or non-selective?

It is non-selective and can damage many types of desirable vegetation when directly sprayed.

3. Does Rounder 71 control perennial weeds?

It can control susceptible perennial weeds because the active ingredient moves within the weed, including to certain underground growing tissues.

4. Is Rounder 71 a pre-emergence herbicide?

No. It is primarily a post-emergence foliar herbicide.

5. What is the recommended dosage per acre?

The supplied retailer lists approximately 1 kg per acre, while official technical registration references specify approximately 1.21 kg per acre. Use the original Shivalik Rounder 71 registered label for the final dosage.

6. Can Rounder 71 be applied over standing crops?

No general over-the-top crop application is recommended. Glyphosate may severely damage desirable crops. Only specifically approved label uses are permitted.

7. Does Rounder 71 prevent future weed germination?

Glyphosate primarily acts on existing emerged weeds. It should not be considered a pre-emergence herbicide providing reliable residual control of new weed germination.

8. Can Rounder 71 be applied through drip irrigation?

No drip irrigation application is established in the referenced registered-use directions. The product is intended for approved foliar applications.
