MASTAK, RC (Cloquaralid, 300 g/l)

Precision Weed Control: Systemic Solutions for Tough Infestations

MASTAK, RC (Clopyralid, 300 g/l) is a specialized systemic herbicide manufactured by the 'Fabryka Ahrokhimikativ' in Cherkasy, Ukraine. Designed as a post-emergence tool, it is tailored for farmers looking to protect sugar beets, winter rapeseed, cabbage, corn, and small grains from the most persistent broadleaf weeds that often evade standard herbicides.

Why MASTAK, RC stands out

The core of this product is its systemic action. Unlike contact herbicides that only affect leaf surfaces, clopyralid travels through the plant's vascular system to reach the root zone. This is essential for controlling perennial weeds with deep taproots, such as:

• Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense);
• Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia);
• Scentless chamomile;
• Field bindweed;
• Cornflower.

Operational Benefits and Performance

As a selective herbicide, MASTAK, RC ensures that your primary crops grow without competition for nutrients or water, while maintaining high safety margins for the plants themselves. With a recommended application rate of 0.1–0.2 l/ha, it offers a cost-effective way to clean up fields during the active growing season. Its liquid formulation (water-soluble concentrate) is easy to mix and apply via ground equipment.

Strengths:

• Superior control of deep-rooted perennials that typically survive mild herbicide applications.
• Excellent selectivity, ensuring crop safety when applied at recommended stages.
• Cost-efficiency due to high active ingredient concentration.

Limitations: Being a selective broadleaf herbicide, MASTAK, RC will not control grass weeds. It is best used in integrated weed management programs alongside appropriate graminicides if grasses are present. Please note the 60-day pre-harvest interval, which must be strictly followed to ensure residue-free crop production. For the modern Ukrainian farmer, this product represents a reliable, locally produced solution for high-yield farming.
