Samum 150 RK

An effective solution for pre-harvest desiccation and weed control

"Samum 150 RK" is a specialized tool for farmers working with soybean and sunflower crops. The product combines the functions of a non-selective contact herbicide and a powerful desiccant. Its active ingredient penetrates rapidly into green plant tissues, causing accelerated drying. This is critical for managing uneven crop maturation or when rapid harvesting is required due to adverse weather conditions.

Advantages and application features

• Versatility: The product effectively handles both the drying of crop vegetative mass and the destruction of annual dicotyledonous weeds that might impede harvesting operations.
• Contact Action: Unlike systemic products, "Samum 150 RK" works quickly by affecting only the parts of the plant touched by the spray solution. This requires high-quality coverage of the leaf surface during application.
• Crop Safety: When used according to guidelines (application rate of 2.0–3.0 L/ha), the product does not adversely affect seed quality or germination rates, which is essential for seed-growing farms.

The manufacturing base for the product is distributed between facilities of "Globachem N.V." (Belgium) and "Fader Alliance Ltd." (UK), with production sites in Poland and India. This cooperation ensures adherence to the high-quality standards required for water-soluble concentrates in this class.

Important considerations

As a non-selective contact herbicide, "Samum 150 RK" requires precision during application. It is important to note that the product has no residual soil activity and does not suppress the germination of new weed flushes; it is a tool for the final field "cleanup" stage before harvest. When applying, it is necessary to prevent spray drift onto neighboring crops, as the non-selective nature of the herbicide leaves no room for errors. The application protocol allows for one treatment per season, which fits perfectly into intensive oilseed cultivation workflows.
