Glyphosate does not move once applied, so generally, it doesn't affect untreated plants, such as nearby flowers.
In soil, glyphosate usually breaks down within a few days so it becomes unavailable to plants that are planted later on.
We recommend to always leave from a few days, to two weeks after glyphosate application before planting more grass or plants. This is because glyphosate is absorbed through the leaves and progresses to the roots systemically.
- If you are planting edible plants, such as herbs and vegetables, we would recommend leaving it for at least a week.
- If sowing vulnerable grass or seeds, also leave it for at least a week.
Do not attempt to pull the weeds before treatment, if you disturb the weeds before they are dead you may risk breaking off live roots that could sprout again.
