Herbicides, Desiccants
MONSANTO
The benchmark systemic herbicide for eradicating persistent weeds and professional crop desiccation.
In the field of non-selective herbicides, the Monsanto brand remains the global benchmark, and "Roundup Max" is its flagship product. Unlike cheaper generics, this formulation is based on highly refined isopropylamine salt of glyphosate. This ensures deeper penetration into the weed's root system, effectively preventing the "burn-down" effect where only the leaves die while the roots remain capable of regeneration.
"Roundup Max" acts as a systemic post-emergence herbicide, eradicating a broad spectrum of vegetation, including couch grass, field thistle, common lambsquarters, and green foxtail. Its primary advantage is versatility: it is widely used for field preparation before sowing, as well as in orchard and vineyard management (pears, sweet cherries, grapes, raspberries) to control perennial weeds that compete for soil nutrients.
Given its high concentration, "Roundup Max" requires precise adherence to application rates (more than 3.0 L/ha). It is the optimal choice for operations requiring radical field clearance from stubborn perennial weeds or reliable pre-harvest preparation. Its major competitive edge lies in its formulation stability, delivering consistent results regardless of environmental variability, reflecting the high standards of Monsanto’s engineering.

By type of action
By type of action
Depending on their ability to move through living tissues, herbicides are divided into contact and systemic. Contact herbicides cause local damage to plant tissue upon contact, which dies or gradually degrades. This action does not always completely destroy the plant; often, its... |

By Mode of Action
By Mode of Action
Herbicides are divided into two groups according to their mode of action: Non-selective herbicides — intended for the destruction of all plant species. They are applied in agricultural fields during the absence of the main crop (after harvest, before crop emergence, on fallow lan... |

By Application Timing
By Application Timing
Herbicides are classified according to application timing into pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides. Pre-emergent herbicides are mostly soil-applied or granular formulations applied before the emergence of crop plants. They are applied either pre-sowing (during pre-sowing cu... |

By application method
By application method
Based on the method of application, herbicides are divided into foliar, soil, and root herbicides. Foliar herbicides are applied to vegetative plants and act through their above-ground organs. The main method of application for such preparations is spraying using sprayers or airp... |

Desiccant
Desiccant
Desiccants (from Latin desicco — dry; desiccans (desiccantis) — drying) are chemical substances used in agriculture for desiccating plants at the root. They can be conditionally classified as herbicides, as they irreversibly affect plants by causing tissue dehydration, ultimately... |
