Glyphosate

Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide globally, known for its broad-spectrum activity against weeds. It works by inhibiting the enzyme EPSPS, which is critical in the production of aromatic amino acids in plants, effectively halting their growth.

This herbicide is used extensively in agriculture, particularly in genetically modified crops that are resistant to glyphosate. However, concerns over its potential carcinogenicity and its impact on biodiversity have fueled debates about its future use.
