Abstracts

Glyphosate 10%SL is a specific formulation, which is produced and consumed in China only.

There are three production methods of 10%SL, and in China over 95% of the 10%SL is produced from mother liquor of glyphosate, which is hazardous to the environment.

Due to the pollution of 10%SL, many experts and key glyphosate players such as Zhejiang Wynca have repeatedly suggested forbidding the use of 10%SL in China on some conferences and agrochemical exhibitions.

But the ban of 10%SL will greatly impact China's consumption structure of glyphosate formulations, the domestic glyphosate production and then the global glyphosate supply.

First, the ban of 10%SL will largely increase the production cost of glyphosate since currently most domestic glyphosate producers don’t treat their mother liquor of glyphosate at all.

Second, if 10%SL is banned, the substitute will be 41%IPA or other specifications at higher prices, which are difficult to be promoted and inconvenient when spraying.

This report discusses the possibility of the ban of glyphosate 10%SL in China from aspects of glyphosate production, government policy, comment from formulation producers and glyphosate producers, R & D of waste treatment technology, etc, and provides an in-depth analysis of this industry.
