The OP was talking about clearing for a food plot, not a lawn. Glyphosate, a well-known herbicide works by preventing plants to grow by blocking particular enzymes. Plant tissues absorb the glyphosate quickly and spread across the system, which helps to stop the growth of unwanted plants. This herbicide should be allowed to penetrate as it requires time to affect the roots of the weeds. Glyphosate is one of the products included in Roundup; it is worth waiting at least for few days before seeding, depending on the amount and type of chemicals used.It may even take months to seed if the combination of chemicals used is more severe than expected. But usually, it is recommended to limit the use of glyphosate and plant the seeds within a week for good results. When the Glyphosate is sprayed, the chemicals reach the roots of the plants from the leaves which vanish the plants. But, glyphosate does not leave any residue. The chemical present in the glyphosate affects the grass and weeds but does not produce any other major side effects.</blockquote>
