Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide used to kill weeds,
especially annual broadleaf weeds and grasses known to compete with commercial
crops. The most common formulation of Glyphosate is as isopropylamine salt, which
is commercialized as Roundoup-N®. Its main metabolite is aminomethylphosphonic
acid (AMPA), which is recognized by some authors as slightly toxic. There is
evidence of resistance of some species of herbs that adapt after prolonged use of
glyphosate
