glyphosate

Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide, a type of chemical designed to kill weeds. It works by interfering with specific biochemical pathways in plants, preventing them from growing. Commonly found in agricultural products and home gardening tools, glyphosate is favored for its effectiveness and the ability to control a broad range of weeds. However, its use has sparked debates about potential health risks and environmental impacts, including concerns over its links to certain health issues and effects on biodiversity. Regulatory agencies continue to evaluate its safety and recommend guidelines for its application.
