TEZAAB 71 (Ammonium Salt of Glyphosate 71% SG) is a powerful, non-selective, systemic herbicide belonging to the Organophosphorus chemical group. It is recommended primarily for Tea plantations and effectively controls a wide range of annual and perennial weeds. TEZAAB 71 acts through translocation into the roots and foliage of weeds, resulting in complete destruction within 7–12 days after application. The formulation leaves no residual effect on the soil, ensuring no impact on germination or emergence of the main crop.
