草甘膦是1974年商品化的除草剂,很快它就成为茅后、内吸、非选择性的防除一年生和多年生杂草的领先的除草剂。25年来持续增长,使它成为世界上销售量最大和增长速度最快的农药。在80年代初,草甘膦就成为第一个全球销售额超过10亿美元的农药。草甘膦成功的要点在于:具有非常好的除草效果;可在许多农业和非农业场合使用的通用性;有非常好的毒理学和生态毒理学 Glyphosate, a commercial herbicide of 1974, quickly became the dominant, systemic and non-selective herbicide of annual and perennial weeds in the posterior leaves of grass. The 25 years of sustained growth have made it the largest and fastest-growing pesticide in the world. In the early 1980s, glyphosate became the first pesticide to reach more than $ 1 billion globally. The key to the success of glyphosate is that it has a very good herbicidal effect; versatility that can be used in many agricultural and non-agricultural applications; and very good toxicology and ecotoxicology
