Kalach 480 SL Herbicide

Expanded description of Kalach 480 SL herbicide:

Kalach 480 SL is a powerful non-selective systemic herbicide designed to control a wide range of grasses, sedges, and broadleaf plants in various crops. Here are some additional details:

Active Ingredient: Glyphosate 360 g/l (480 g/l as IPA salt)

Formulation: Soluble concentrate (SL)

Mode of Action:

Glyphosate is absorbed by the foliage of plants and translocated throughout the plant, reaching the roots and other growing points.

It inhibits the enzyme EPSP synthase, which is critical for the synthesis of aromatic amino acids. This disruption leads to the death of the plant.

As a systemic herbicide, it ensures that the entire plant, including the root system, is effectively controlled.

Application Rates:

Annual Plants: Apply at a rate of 1 - 3 ℓ/ha (or 80 - 480 mℓ per 20 ℓ knapsack sprayer) depending on the type and size of the plants.

Perennial Plants: Apply at a rate of 6 ℓ/ha for effective control.

Application Guidelines:

Apply Kalach 480 SL when the target plants are actively growing and there is sufficient moisture for optimal absorption.

Ensure uniform and complete spray coverage, targeting the foliage of the plants.

Use a low or medium volume of water, ranging from 30 to 400 ℓ/ha, to ensure effective distribution.

Avoid spraying on windy days to prevent drift to non-target areas, which can cause damage to desirable plants.

Rainfall or irrigation within 6 hours after application may reduce the effectiveness of the herbicide.

Precautions:

Avoid contact with the foliage, green stems, or fruit of crops and desirable plants to prevent unintentional damage.

Wear appropriate protective clothing, gloves, and a mask to minimize exposure to the chemical.

Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from children, pets, and food items.

Benefits:

Effective Control: Kalach 480 SL provides quick and effective control of both annual and perennial plants, killing them right to the roots.

No Soil Residual Activity: The herbicide does not leave any residues in the soil, making it safe for soil preparation and subsequent planting.

Flexible Usage: It can be used in various cropping systems, including as a pre-plant treatment in cereals and as a post-emergent treatment in established perennial crops.

Environmental Safety: When used correctly, Kalach 480 SL poses low risks to users, wildlife, and the environment.

Additional Benefits:

Kalach 480 SL can fit well in conservation tillage systems, saving on time and labor.

Timely application enables crops to develop free of competition for nutrients and water.

It can control the re-growth of perennial plants through spot spraying.

Using the right nozzle and clean water during application ensures optimum results.

The herbicide is rainfast within three hours, meaning it should not be applied when rain or irrigation is expected within this time frame.

For optimal results, use an average spray volume of 250 liters per hectare.

By following these guidelines, you can effectively use Kalach 480 SL to manage unwanted plants in your crops
