A storage and shipping system for glyphosate herbicide is provided, comprisi ng a container having a capacity of about 0.1 to about 100,000 liters or more, substantially filled with an aqueous solution of glyphosate, predominantly i n the form of one or a mixture of the potassium and monoethanolammonium salts thereof, the solution having a glyphosate acid equivalent concentration of a t least about 30 percent by weight. The storage and shipping system, by virtue of the relatively high specific gravity of the glyphosate salt solution, hol ds a greater weight of glyphosate than a system comprising an identical contain er substantially filled with an aqueous solution of the isopropylammonium salt of glyphosate at the same glyphosate concentration by weight. Alternatively, th e container of the storage and shipping system can be smaller than that of a container holding the same weight of glyphosate in the form of the isopropylammonium salt. Further, a larger number of such smaller containers can be shipped in a given enclosed volume, thereby enabling the shipment of a larger weight of glyphosate in a single consignment.
