Otaman, RK, herbicide, desiccant

Technical Product Profile

The «Otaman» herbicide by Alfa Smart Agro is a high-performance systemic preparation based on glyphosate (isopropylamine salt, 480 g/l). Its primary technological strength is the concentration of the active substance, which ensures rapid translocation throughout the plant system. The water-soluble concentrate formulation provides excellent mixing stability and effective penetration into the vascular system of weeds, reaching even the most developed root structures.

Operational Mechanism and Versatility

As a non-selective herbicide, «Otaman» works by inhibiting the synthesis of aromatic amino acids, effectively eliminating both aerial parts and root systems of annual and perennial dicot and monocot weeds, such as field sow thistle and couch grass. Its systemic action makes it a superior tool for cleaning fields before planting vegetables, potatoes, melons, sunflowers, and grains.

Application Guidelines

• Flexible Dosage: Depending on the weed pressure and species composition, the application rate varies from 2.0 to 3.0 l/ha.
• Desiccation Efficiency: When used as a desiccant, a rate of up to 0.5 l/ha ensures uniform crop maturation, which is vital for efficient harvesting of sunflower and cereal crops.
• Application Versatility: The product acts as both a pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicide, offering flexibility in field preparation strategies.
• Safety: Classified under hazard class 3, ensuring standard safety levels for agricultural operators when proper protective measures are followed.

«Otaman» is specifically engineered for professional use in industrial agriculture, providing a robust solution for field management where non-selective total control or controlled desiccation is required.
