Tornado 540, RK

A robust solution for field weed management

When dealing with fields plagued by deep-rooted perennial weeds, "Tornado 540, RK" acts as a high-performance systemic herbicide. With a concentrated glyphosate content of 540 g/l, it effectively translocates from the foliage down to the root system, ensuring that once you clear the field, it stays clean. For an operator, this high concentration translates into logistical ease: fewer canisters to handle and better tank-mix efficiency.

Field operation and utility

This formulation is remarkably versatile, serving both as a broad-spectrum herbicide and a desiccant for crops like oilseed rape, soybeans, sunflowers, peas, sorghum, and corn. As a water-soluble concentrate, it mixes readily in the spray tank, preventing nozzle clogging and ensuring consistent application even in large-scale farming operations.

• Full-spectrum Control: Highly effective against both annual and perennial dicot and monocot weeds.
• Efficiency: Application rates range from 1.4 to 6 liters per hectare, allowing for precise adjustment based on weed density.
• Operational Safety: Classified as hazard class 3, it is manageable for professional crews when standard personal protective equipment is utilized.

Practical tips for success

Since "Tornado 540, RK" is a non-selective herbicide, precise application is key—especially when working near sensitive crops. Use it during the active growth phase of weeds to ensure maximum systemic uptake. Plan your field operations to allow a 14–20 day interval after application before performing any mechanical tillage. This waiting period is critical to ensure the chemical fully degrades the weed roots before you disrupt the soil profile.
