Director v.r., (Glyphosate in the form of isopropylamine salt 41%)

Mechanism of Action and Technical Specifications

The «Director» herbicide is a broad-spectrum systemic agent based on a 41% glyphosate isopropylamine salt formulation. Engineered by Iprochem Company, Ltd., this solution is designed for maximum leaf cuticle penetration and rapid translocation throughout the plant's vascular system. By inhibiting the EPSPS enzyme, the herbicide halts the synthesis of aromatic amino acids, leading to systemic plant death.

Key Operational Advantages

• Systemic Translocation: Unlike contact-only herbicides, this formula effectively reaches the root system, making it an essential tool for controlling perennial weeds like couch grass and thistles.
• Dual Application Mode: The product functions both as a pre-seeding herbicide to eliminate competition for nutrients and moisture in crops such as wheat, potatoes, and sunflowers, and as an effective desiccant. As a desiccant, it accelerates maturity and reduces grain moisture, minimizing crop loss during harvest.
• Formulation Quality: The aqueous solution (SL) ensures high stability and rapid solubility in spray tanks. When applied during the active growth phase, it ensures consistent uptake across various weed species.

Application and Practical Notes

Classified under hazard level 3, the herbicide should be applied during the active growth stage of weeds (3–5 leaf stage for annuals, 15–20 cm height for perennials). For optimal performance, ambient temperature should be within the range of +15°C to +25°C. It is critical to ensure water quality; using neutralized water prevents the inactivation of the glyphosate molecule, ensuring that the desired application rates are fully effective in the field.
