Is glyphosate safe to spray in my standing crop?

A shopkeeper suggested glyphosate for the weeds in my standing wheat. Is it safe to spray on the crop? I have heard it kills everything.

No, do not spray glyphosate on a standing crop like wheat. Glyphosate is a non-selective, broad-spectrum herbicide, which means it kills almost any green plant it touches, including your crop, so spraying it over standing wheat would damage or kill the wheat along with the weeds. Glyphosate is meant for non-crop uses: clearing weeds before sowing (a pre-sowing or stale-seedbed knockdown), clearing field bunds, channels, orchards (as a directed spray away from trunks) and fallow or waste land, where no crop is present or where it can be kept off the crop. For weeds inside a standing wheat crop you must use selective herbicides registered for wheat, such as the grass and broadleaf products meant for that crop, which kill the weeds without harming the wheat. The shopkeeper's advice here is unsafe. Use only herbicides recommended for your specific crop and situation, follow the label exactly, and confirm with your KVK before spraying anything new, because a non-selective herbicide in a standing crop can destroy it.

Never put glyphosate on a standing crop. It is for clearing weeds before sowing or on bunds and fallow land. It would wipe out your wheat.

I use glyphosate only as a knockdown before sowing on a stale seedbed, never over a crop. For weeds in wheat I use the selective products meant for wheat.

Be careful taking spray advice only from a shop. Confirm with the KVK. Some shop suggestions can ruin a crop.
