Glyphosate is a systemic, broad spectrum herbicide. Plantain or banana false stem has a wax surface that’s different from the leaves and protects the plant when emerging from the ground and other organisms. If anyone has results or literature that explains whether this herbicide affects plantain or bananas, I would greatly appreciate it.
