Abstract: A herbicidal composition comprises an aqueous solution of a mixture of acetic acid and glycine in a ratio by weight of from 10:1 to 1:1. Preferably, the composition further contains a surfactant. In general, for eradicating herbal vegetation, the aqueous solution has a concentration of acetic acid from 4 to 10% by weight, a concentration of glycine from 1 to 10% by weight and a concentration of surfactant from 0.5 to 5% by weight. The herbicidal composition may conveniently be prepared and shipped as a concentrate adapted to be diluted with water in a ratio by volume from 1:1 to 1:4 before use.
