ABSTRACT: In present study the herbicidal activities of glyphosate on Hibiscus cannabinus Linn. have been studied. The anatomical response might produce some light on the manner by which this compound affected on plant. The plants were sprayed with aqueous solution of different concentrations of herbicide from 100 to 10,000 ppm. The herbicide induced some anatomical changes like proliferation of cambium and phloem in the stem to form large masses of meristematic cells and due to the proliferation of cortical and pith cells after treatment became crushed. In the leaves, desiccation of cells, proliferation of cambium in the midrib region and distortion of vascular elements was common feature observed of glyphosate treatment.
