Round up

Roundup is a great tool for gardener and it can and well if use right do away with weeds quickly and easily. But why what does it do? How does it work? What the best way to use it? Let take a look
Roundup works because It a type of salt the chemical name of round up is Glyphosate, isopropylamine salt. It works because the plant takes the chemical in and it inhibits a key enzyme that plants and bacteria use to make amino acids called EPSP synthase. Because the plant can not make these key amino acids it can not make the food it needs to feed itself. As a result in a few weeks or even days the plant runs out of protein and begins to starve. We see this as the leave of the plant turning black. However a small amount of roundup can result in a crawling of the leaves.
When can I use roundup?
The best time to use round up is early in the morning on a day you know it not going to rain within 4 hour. If it rain with in four hours of spraying it will wash off the chemical and the plant will not have time tot I did not want to spray if I spray a plan take it in.
What if I spar a plant that I did not want to spray? Just wash the plant with water as quickly as you can.
Well round work on every plant? No the are so type of plant like some types soybeans, corns and cottons is not effect by round up because they make a lot of the epsp synthase amino acids. Also plant like thistle who roots have been know go down as far as 20 feet are not as effect by round up.
Will round up hurt me, my pet, or the wild life in my yard? No, because we don’t use the Epsp Synthase amino acids it is only use by plants and bacteria.
Can it be too hot or cold to use roundup? Yes, the temperature should be between 60 - 85 degrees F.
Also do not use roundup if it windy. If it is too windy to throw out grass or flower seeds, it is too windy to spray round up.
What can I do to make roundup more effect?
You can add a small amount of soap to the mix this with help it stick to the plant better. Always read the label before using any chemical. Round up can be a great tool if used right.
