Kulak RK

Systemic mechanism of «Kulak RK»

«Kulak RK» utilizes the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate to disrupt plant metabolic pathways. As a non-selective systemic herbicide, it functions by inhibiting the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). This enzymatic block prevents the production of essential aromatic amino acids, effectively halting plant growth from the cellular level up to the root system. Unlike contact-based herbicides, its systemic nature ensures that the target plant dies completely rather than just showing foliar damage.

Strategic application: Weeding and Desiccation

The product, developed by Aquarius and K, offers high versatility for integrated pest management:

• Pre-emergence and Fallow Control: Managing robust populations of annual and perennial grasses and broad-leaved weeds before the main crop reaches its critical stage.
• Desiccant Function: Facilitating the drying process of sunflowers and cereals. This technical application reduces grain moisture levels prior to harvest, optimizing mechanical efficiency.
• Dosing Precision: The dosage range (from <0.5 to >3.0 l/ha) allows for specific adjustments based on the weed spectrum. High infestation levels, especially with hardy perennials, require higher rates to ensure the herbicide reaches the rhizomes.

To maximize efficacy, spray should be applied to actively growing foliage. The absence of dust or heavy dew on the leaves is essential for optimal absorption. As a non-selective agent, «Kulak RK» requires precise application techniques to prevent drift to adjacent non-target crops. With 1–2 treatments allowed per cycle, it acts as a reliable tool for maintaining field sanitation throughout the agricultural season.
