Advanced glyphosate technology from Avgoust-Bel

"Tornado 540," manufactured by ZAT "Avgoust-Bel," represents a high-performance systemic herbicide designed for large-scale agricultural operations. By utilizing a concentrated glyphosate formulation (540 g/l), this product allows for optimized application rates and reduced logistics costs while maintaining superior weed control capabilities. It has become a staple for farmers looking to manage heavy weed infestations, particularly those featuring resilient root systems.

Key Features and Application

As a non-selective, systemic herbicide, Tornado 540 is engineered to eliminate broad-spectrum vegetation, making it an essential tool for field preparation or post-harvest cleaning in crops such as soybeans, sunflowers, corn, and peas. Its mechanism ensures the active ingredient is translocated throughout the plant, effectively destroying both aerial parts and roots. Target species include:

• Persistent perennial weeds like field bindweed and perennial sowthistle.
• Annual and perennial grasses.
• Various broad-leaved weed species.

Dual-purpose efficacy

Beyond its primary role as a herbicide, Tornado 540 is frequently utilized as a desiccant. This function is vital for farmers aiming to ensure uniform crop maturation and to simplify the harvesting process. Applied as a post-emergence leaf herbicide, it is delivered via the foliage. Its aqueous solution form ensures consistent mixing and stable application. With a recommended dosage range of 2.0 to 3.0 l/ha, the product is recognized for its efficiency and predictable outcomes. Classified as a Hazard Class 3 substance, it remains a professional-grade solution that, when handled with proper safety protocols, provides the high level of control necessary for modern, competitive agriculture.
