ʻO L-glufosinate-ammonium kahi pūhui tripeptide hou i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia mai ka broth fermentation o Streptomyces hygroscopicus e Bayer. Hoʻokumu ʻia kēia pūhui me ʻelua mau mole o L-alanine a me kahi hui amino acid i ʻike ʻole ʻia a he hana bactericidal. ʻO L-glufosinate-ammonium ka hui o ka phosphonic acid herbicides a kaʻana like i kāna hana me ka glufosinate-ammonium.

Wahi a nā haʻawina hou, ʻo ka hoʻohana nui ʻana i ka glyphosate, ka herbicide kūʻai nui ʻia, ua alakaʻi i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ke kūʻē ʻana i nā mauʻu e like me ka goosegrass, ka liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi, a me ka bindweed. Ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ka International Cancer Research Institute i ka glyphosate ma ke ʻano he carcinogen kanaka mai 2015, a ua hōʻike ʻia nā haʻawina hānai holoholona maʻamau e hiki ke hoʻonui i ka ulu ʻana o ka ate a me nā ʻōpū.

Ua alakaʻi kēia nūhou i kekahi mau ʻāina, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Farani a me Kelemānia, pāpā i ka glyphosate, kahi i hoʻonui ai i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā lāʻau herbicides koho ʻole e like me glufosinate-ammonium. Eia kekahi, ʻo ke kūʻai ʻana o ka glufosinate-ammonium i hōʻea i $ 1.050 biliona i 2020, e hana ana i ka herbicide non-selective wikiwiki loa i ka mākeke.

Ua hōʻike ʻia ʻo L-glufosinate-ammonium e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o kāna hoa kuʻuna, me ka mana o ʻelua mau manawa. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka L-glufosinate-ammonium e hōʻemi i ka nui o ka noi ma 50%, a laila e hōʻemi ana i ka hopena o ka mahiʻai ʻāina i ke kaumaha o ke kaiapuni.

ʻO ka hana herbicidal o ka herbicide ke hana nei i ka mea kanu glutamine synthetase e kāohi i ka synthesis o L-glutamine, ka mea i hopena i ka cytotoxic ammonium Ion accumulation, ammonium metabolism disorder, amino acid deficiency, chlorophyll disintegration, photosynthesis inhibition, a hope loa ka make ʻana o nā mauʻu.

I ka hopena, ua hōʻike ʻia ka herbicide L-glufosinate-ammonium he ʻano kūpono loa i ka glyphosate, kahi e kū nei i nā pilikia hoʻoponopono he nui ma muli o kāna mau waiwai carcinogenic. Hiki i kona hoʻohana ʻia ke hōʻemi nui i ka nui o ka noi a me ka hopena ma hope o ke kaiapuni ʻoiai e hāʻawi mau ana i ka hoʻomalu weed.
