Otaman is a systemic herbicide designed for effective control of a wide spectrum of annual and perennial grassy and broadleaf weeds on cereal crop fields, including wheat, as well as potatoes. The active ingredient of the product is glyphosate isopropylamine salt at a concentration of 480 g/l (acid equivalent 360 g/l), which penetrates through leaves and other green parts of plants, and is also absorbed by root hairs, ensuring complete destruction of above-ground parts and root systems of weeds. The mechanism of action is based on blocking protein and enzyme synthesis, which leads to disruption of chlorophyll formation and subsequent death of unwanted vegetation.
The herbicide Otaman is used for clearing land areas before sowing, as well as for desiccating cereal crops, which facilitates harvest collection. The product is effective against more than 300 weed species, including common species such as wild chicory, red ragweed, milkweed, nettle, creeping thistle, and many others. Initial signs of action appear as plant yellowing, and complete wilting of weeds occurs within 10–20 days depending on weather conditions and growth stage.
Advantages of the herbicide Otaman include its high efficiency in destroying both above-ground and root parts of weeds, preventing their regrowth, as well as low foaming during preparation of the working solution, which is especially important when using low-volume spraying methods. The product is widely used for treating wheat and other cereal crop fields, providing reliable protection and contributing to increased yields.
