Usage

General Description

N-[4-(Methylamino)benzoyl]-L-glutamic acid zinc salt, also known as Glufosinate zinc, is a compound used as a herbicide in the agricultural industry. It functions by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for nitrogen metabolism in plants, resulting in their death. This specific structure contains a benzoyl group and a methylamino group attached to a glutamic acid molecule, which is then bonded to zinc to form a more efficient herbicide. As it interferes with plant growth, it is potentially harmful to non-target plants, and also presents possible threats to human health if ingested or contacted. Therefore, it should be handled with care, following proper safety measures.
