Brandt Smart SystemTM prevents
Glyphosate from reacting with the
Zinc and Manganese
Typical Product
Glyphosate reacts when it comes
in direct contact with most
micro’s

6. -2
Glyphosate and weak acid herbicides have a negative (-) net charge,
thus a strong attraction to cations, especially for multivalent cations
such as Ca+2, Cu+2, Mn+2, Fe+2, Fe+3, Zn+2, etc.

2010 wet conditions in the Mid-West led to
saturated soils and Zn and Mn deficiencies
were prevalent.
Brandt Smart System® was a very affective
tool in boosting the struggling corn crop.

1) Enzymatic conversion of
of a herbicide to a less active
component by:
- Oxidation
- Reduction
-hydrolysis
2) Remaining compound is
conjugated with a:
- Sugar
- Amino Acid
- other
3) Metabolites formed in
second phase are
transported to the vacuole.
4) Some components might
be compartmentalized in
vacuoles or associated with
parts of the cell wall.

expression of genes
involved in plant
defenses and
detoxification.
