Yastrub, RK (potassium salt of glyphosate — 441 g/l, acid equivalent — 360 g/l)

Systemic Efficiency of Yastrub, SL: The Power of Glyphosate Potassium Salt

Yastrub by Bayer utilizes a premium formulation of glyphosate in the form of potassium salt (441 g/l). Compared to traditional isopropylamine formulations, the potassium salt variant offers superior solubility and a higher concentration of active ingredient per liter. This technical advantage is crucial for systemic control: the product rapidly penetrates the leaf cuticle and translocates through the phloem directly to the growth points and deep root systems of weeds, ensuring complete mortality.

Technical Specifications and Application Scope

• Total Systemic Action: Yastrub eliminates both aerial parts and root systems of annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds, preventing secondary regrowth.
• Versatile Application: The herbicide is effective both as a pre-emergence treatment for field preparation and as a post-emergence tool for specialized crop management in vegetables, cereals, oilseed rape, sunflower, potatoes, and melons.
• Desiccant Capability: When applied at the end of the growth cycle, the product acts as a highly effective desiccant, promoting uniform crop ripening and reducing grain moisture, which streamlines harvesting operations.

As a non-selective, systemic herbicide, Yastrub requires precision during application. The water-soluble concentrate is highly stable, maintaining its efficacy even when mixed with varying water qualities, which minimizes risks under real-world field conditions. Classified as a Class 3 hazard agent, it provides a balance between high-performance weed control and manageable safety protocols when standard application guidelines are followed.
