Aspects of the mechanism of action of the ammonium glufosinate: resistant crops and resistance of weeds
With the release of genetically modified organisms for tolerance of the non-selective herbicide ammonium-glufosinate in Brazil, along with its importance as an alternative herbicide to glyphosate-resistant weed, the knowledge of certain aspects related to its mode of action, chemical features and rational management become necessary. In this context, the present literature review was idealized in an attempt to cover, in the light of the current knowledge, some concepts about the biochemistry related to the mode of action of this herbicide, its uptake dynamics, its usage in GM plants and its rational management, with the purpose of making it last as long as possible in the agriculture systems.
