people don't spray glyphosate on their lawns. it's a systemic non-specific herbicide that will kill your grass (or any other plant)
you might be thinking of dicamba or 2,4d which are much worse for the environment (and probably for you) and target broadleaf plants only (e.g. dandelions)
glyphosate is most used for cash crop farming, large quantities sprayed on "roundup ready" corn and soy that has been engineered to be immune to it

- cmrdporcupine 3y agoYeah, though there are other contact herbicides that tend to work better for that. Definitely "mini" or "new" potatoes is where this happens a lot. Kill the plant before full maturity so that the tuber stops growing and accumulates starches, then harvest. The potato farms near me do it, it's kinda gross.
