Total Weed Control with Otaman, SL

Otaman, SL has established itself as a reliable solution within the Alfa Smart Agro portfolio, designed to tackle even the most stubborn weed infestations. Built upon glyphosate, the industry-standard systemic non-selective herbicide, it works by inhibiting essential amino acid synthesis, effectively shutting down the metabolic processes of targeted plants. Its systemic mode of action ensures that the active ingredient moves from the leaf surfaces deep into the root system, eradicating annual and perennial grasses, as well as broadleaf weeds like couch grass and sow thistle.

Versatility and Field Application

Agronomists favor Otaman, SL for its multipurpose utility. It functions as both a powerful post-emergence herbicide and an effective desiccant, facilitating more uniform crop maturation and simplifying mechanical harvesting operations. The liquid formulation ensures ease of mixing and application across a wide variety of crops, including winter rapeseed, soybeans, sunflowers, flax, potatoes, as well as vegetable and fruit plantations.

While Alfa Smart Agro acts as the applicant, the production is handled by specialized international facilities: Wuxi Longbang Chemical & Industrial Co., Ltd (China), Excel Crop Care Limited (India), and Excel Crop Care (Europe) NV (Belgium). This manufacturing alliance ensures a stable, high-quality aqueous solution delivered to the fields.
