High-concentration systemic glyphosate herbicide for broad-spectrum weed control and crop desiccation.
Description
A robust solution for field weed management
When dealing with fields plagued by deep-rooted perennial weeds, "Tornado 540, RK" acts as a high-performance systemic herbicide. With a concentrated glyphosate content of 540 g/l, it effectively translocates from the foliage down to the root system, ensuring that once you clear the field, it stays clean. For an operator, this high concentration translates into logistical ease: fewer canisters to handle and better tank-mix efficiency.
Field operation and utility
This formulation is remarkably versatile, serving both as a broad-spectrum herbicide and a desiccant for crops like oilseed rape, soybeans, sunflowers, peas, sorghum, and corn. As a water-soluble concentrate, it mixes readily in the spray tank, preventing nozzle clogging and ensuring consistent application even in large-scale farming operations.
- Full-spectrum Control: Highly effective against both annual and perennial dicot and monocot weeds.
- Efficiency: Application rates range from 1.4 to 6 liters per hectare, allowing for precise adjustment based on weed density.
- Operational Safety: Classified as hazard class 3, it is manageable for professional crews when standard personal protective equipment is utilized.
Practical tips for success
Since "Tornado 540, RK" is a non-selective herbicide, precise application is key—especially when working near sensitive crops. Use it during the active growth phase of weeds to ensure maximum systemic uptake. We remind you that only one application per season is permitted. Plan your field operations to allow a 14–20 day interval after application before performing any mechanical tillage. This waiting period is critical to ensure the chemical fully degrades the weed roots before you disrupt the soil profile.

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 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... |

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... |

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... |
