In water *1.6 g/l (*5 oC). Insoluble in common organic solvents,
e.g. acetone, ethanol and xylene. The alkali-metal and amine salts
are readily soluble in water. Stability
Glyphosate and all its salts are non-volatile, do not
photochemically degrade and are stable in air. Glyphosate is stable
to hydrolysis at pH 3, 6 and 9 (***5 °C).
