Herbicide "Ground" is a chemical preparation of continuous or indiscriminate action. In other words, the product effectively destroys all vegetation (including cultivated ones) in the processing area. The active ingredient is glyphosate, which is a compound of phosphonomethyl and glycine, which blocks the production of amino acids, which leads to the death of the plant.
