Glyphosate use in general and specifically pre-harvest use is under increased scrutiny by segments of the general public concerned with several components of modern agricultural systems. 2. Unlike many products applied in fall, applying glyphosate when seed moisture content is 30% or above can result in residues greater than the maximum allowable limit. **This product is not registered for pre-harvest use on green lentils. **
