       Glufosinate ammonium is widely used and most effective herbicide commonly called as ammonium salt. This organic herbicide is produced by several species of Streptomyces soil bacteria. It prevents the activity of glutamine synthetase, an enzyme necessary for the production of glutamine and for ammonia detoxification. This increases the ammonium level in the plant tissue and stops the photosynthesis process in plants leading them to death. Glufosinate ammonium herbicide is currently being used in 82 countries as it helps in controlling the growth of weeds in more than 100 variety of crops. This is also used as fungicide for protection of crops against diseases.

      The report highlights major factors impacting the growth of glufosinate ammonium market. These includes the major factors driving the growth of the market, factors inhibiting or restraining the market growth and the major challenges faced by the industry.
