Glyphosate Herbicide Injury

About Glyphosate Herbicide Injury

Symptoms of glyphosate herbicide injury include yellowing, curling, and distorted leaf growth, often appearing on broadleaf plants in lawns and gardens. This damage occurs when non-target plants absorb the herbicide, commonly under warm, humid conditions prevalent in Middle Tennessee areas like Franklin and Brentwood. Homeowners should use glyphosate carefully to avoid unintended harm to desirable vegetation.

Glyphosate Herbicide Injury is an abiotic disorder — a non-living, environmental cause of plant damage — commonly encountered in Middle Tennessee, including Columbia, Thompson's Station, Spring Hill, and the surrounding areas. This entry is part of our Abiotic Disorders Library.

Unlike diseases caused by fungi or bacteria, abiotic disorders cannot be treated with pesticides. Correct diagnosis is essential — our UT Certified horticulturist can evaluate your lawn or landscape and recommend the right corrective action.
