Explanation:

Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide and crop desiccant.
It is an organophosphorus compound, specifically a phosphonate. It is used to kill weeds, especially annual broadleaf weeds and grasses that compete with crops.
Glyphosate is arguably the most popular herbicide in the world. Since the 1970s, Monsanto has been marketing it to farmers under the trade name Roundup.
