1. Introduction to Glufosinate Herbicide
English: Glufosinate is a non-selective contact herbicide widely used to control broad-spectrum weeds. It is an alternative for farmers facing weeds resistant to glyphosate or paraquat.
Odia: Glufosinate gotie non-selective contact herbicide ଯାହା ମୋଟାମୁଟି ବ୍ରଡ୍-ସ୍ପେକ୍ଟ୍ରମ୍ ଘାସ-ପତ୍ରା ନିୟନ୍ତ୍ରଣ ପାଇଁ ବ୍ୟବହୃତ ହୁଏ।
2. How Glufosinate Works / କିପରି କାମ କରେ
- English: It inhibits the enzyme glutamine synthetase causing ammonia to accumulate in plant cells and leading to cell damage and plant death. It acts mainly where it contacts the plant (contact action).
- Odia: ଏହା glutamine synthetase ନାମକ ଏନଜାଇମ୍ କୁ ଅଟକାଇ ଦେଇ, ପ୍ଲାଣ୍ଟ କୋଷରେ ଆମୋନିଆ ସଞ୍ଚୟ ଘଟାଇଥାଏ ଯାହା କୋଷକୁ ନଷ୍ଟ କରି ଗଛକୁ ମାରିଦିଏ। ଏହା mainly contact action ଅଟୁଛି।
3. Uses of Glufosinate in Farming / କେଉଁଠାରେ ବ୍ୟବହାର
English: Used to control annual and perennial weeds in orchards, plantations (banana, tea, rubber, oil palm), vineyards, and some genetically modified (LibertyLink) crops. Also used sometimes for crop desiccation before harvest.
Odia: ବାଗାନ, ପ୍ଲାଣ୍ଟେସନ (କଦଳି, ଚା, ରବର୍, ଓଇଲ୍ ପାଲ୍ମ), ଇଂଗିନିୟର୍ ଟର୍ crops (LibertyLink) ଏବଂ ହାର୍ଭେଷ୍ଟ ଆଗରୁ ଡେସିକେସନ୍ ପାଇଁ ବ୍ୟବହୃତ ହୁଏ।
4. Benefits of Glufosinate Herbicide / ଲାଭ
- Works on glyphosate- and paraquat-resistant weeds.
- Fast action — symptoms visible in 2–5 days.
- Useful in no-till and conservation agriculture.
- Lower tendency to persist and leach compared to some other herbicides.
5. Limitations & Drawbacks / ଅପକାରିତା
- Non-selective — will damage crops if sprayed directly on them.
- Contact herbicide — poor translocation to roots.
- Often more expensive than alternatives like glyphosate.
- Requires good spray coverage for effectiveness.
6. Safety Measures & Precautions / ସାବଧାନୀ
English: Always follow label instructions. Wear protective clothing (gloves, mask, goggles), avoid drift, do not spray near water sources, and keep the chemical away from children and animals. Classified by WHO as moderately hazardous — handle with care.
Odia: ଲେବଲ୍ ନିର୍ଦ୍ଦେଶ ଅନୁସରଣ କରନ୍ତୁ। ପ୍ରଟେକ୍ଟିଭ୍ ଗ୍ଲାଭ୍ସ, ମାସ୍କ, ଗଗଲ୍ସ ପିନ୍ଧନ୍ତୁ; ଡ୍ରିଫ୍ଟ ରୋକନ୍ତୁ; ପାଣିର ସ୍ରୋତାଯାତ୍ରା ନିକଟ ନସ୍ପ୍ରେ; ଏବଂ ସନ୍ତାନ ଓ ପଶୁ ରୁ ଦୂର ରଖନ୍ତୁ।
7. Mixing Ratio & Application Guide / ମିଶ୍ରଣ ମାତ୍ରା
Typical recommendation: 100 ml of Glufosinate formulation in 15–20 liters of water for knapsack sprayers. Use a fine nozzle for even coverage. Always confirm exact dose from the product label — company instructions may vary.
Application tips / ପ୍ରୟୋଗ ସୁପାରିଶ:
- Spray in calm weather to reduce drift.
- Ensure uniform coverage — contact herbicides need good leaf wetting.
- Do not spray blooming crops to protect pollinators.
- Wash equipment after use and dispose of empty containers following local regulations.
8. Conclusion / ସମାପ୍ତି
English: Glufosinate is a powerful weed control tool that helps manage resistant weeds and supports conservation farming practices. Use it responsibly by following label directions and safety precautions to protect people, crops, and the environment.
Odia: Glufosinate gotie ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ weed-control ଔଜାର ଯାହା resistant weed ନିୟନ୍ତ୍ରଣରେ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କରେ। ଲେବଲ୍ ନୀତି ଓ ସୁରକ୍ଷା ବ୍ୟବହାର କରିବା ଆବଶ୍ୟକ।
