Roundup Max 500 ml
Roundup Max 500 ml – a herbicide developed based on the classic Roundup.
In addition to the properties of the "Roundup" formulation, the Roundup Max herbicide contains the latest surfactants. Thanks to new technology, the product penetrates the plant twice as fast; within an hour, the active ingredients are already inside the weed cells, leading to the plant's death.
The herbicide is safe for the environment, as it breaks down into natural components in the soil.
The product is used by farmers to control the most stubborn weeds.
Mode of action
It penetrates through the leaves and other green parts of the plant. It is transported throughout all organs, including the root system. Plants die within 5–10 (up to 30) days, depending on weather conditions and the type of weeds. The first signs of the herbicidal effect appear no earlier than 3–4 days later in the form of yellowing, followed by browning and wilting of the leaves.
Completely destroys annual and perennial, grass and dicotyledonous weeds, including their above-ground and underground parts. It is highly effective and environmentally safe.
Active ingredient: isopropylamine salt of glyphosate 360 g/L and 180 g/L of surfactant.
Instructions for use
The product is based on a unique technology that facilitates the most efficient movement of glyphosate to the plant’s root system, ensuring a more stable effect of glyphosate under various weather conditions, especially those stressful for plants. This is precisely why Roundup acts so quickly and effectively on weeds.
The product works by dissolving the waxy layer covering the leaves, allowing it to penetrate the plant through the cuticle. Additionally, this technology improves the transport of glyphosate within the plant. As a result, a greater amount of the active ingredient can reach the root system directly. This is extremely important if the plant is under stress and fighting stubborn weeds. In less than an hour, the plant has already absorbed 75% of the glyphosate, and after 2.5 hours, 90% is absorbed. Much more glyphosate (twice as much) is transported to the roots, so the product’s effectiveness is less affected by temperature fluctuations, waterlogging, or drought, and treatment can be carried out on dew-covered plants.
Roundup Max Herbicide Application Rate
Before buying Roundup, you need to calculate the application rate. It’s not difficult to do. Application rate
| Application rate of the product (L/ha) | Crop, target | Target against which the treatment is applied | Method, time of processing, restrictions | Date of last processing | Max. number of processes |
| 4.0 | Crops | Perennial grass weeds Perennial broadleaf weeds | Spraying weeds during their active growth period | - | 1 |
| 2.4 | Pairs | Annual grass weeds Dicotyledonous weeds | Spraying weeds during their active growth period | - | 1 |
| 2.4 | Grain crops | Spray crops 2 weeks before harvest, when grain moisture content is no more than 30% | 14 | 1 | |
| 4.8 | Non-agricultural land (right-of-way strips for power lines, gas and oil pipelines, road shoulders, railway embankments) | Annual weeds Perennial weeds | Spraying of growing weeds | - | 1 |
| 3.2 | Vineyards Orchards | Annual grass weeds Dicotyledonous weeds | Spraying of growing weeds in row spacing in spring or summer | - | 1-2 (second application as needed) |
| 6.0 | Vineyards Orchards | Perennial grass weeds Perennial dicotyledonous weeds | Spraying of growing weeds in row spacing in spring or summer | - | 1 |
| 6.4 | Drainage channels and their banks | Annual weeds Perennial weeds | Spraying channels before they are flooded with water | - | 1 |
| 2.4 | Rapeseed | Spraying crops when 70% of pods turn brown | 14 | 1 | |
| 2.4 | Sunflower | Spraying crops during the early basket browning stage | 11 | 1 | |
| 2.4 | Soybeans | Spraying crops 14 days | 14 | 1 | |
| 2.4 | Peas | Spray crops when 70–75% of the pods have turned brown | 14 | 1 | |
| 2.4 | Fields intended for crop cultivation | Annual weeds Perennial weeds | Spraying of growing weeds in the fall after harvesting the previous crop | - | 1 |
Treatment with Roundup
Treatment can be carried out using hand sprayers, tractor-mounted sprayers, high-pressure nozzles, and aerial application. It is not recommended to use equipment that produces a very fine spray (such as dusters or spray bottles)! If rain falls less than 6 hours after application, the product may be partially washed off the leaves, reducing its effectiveness. It is also best to ensure that the leaves of the weeds are not dusty. For the next 5–7 days after treatment, do not loosen the soil or pull weeds—during this time, the active ingredient of the herbicide will fully penetrate the plants’ root systems. 7–12 days after treatment, you will notice the weeds turning yellow and wilting, and after another 1–2 weeks, they will be completely dried out.
This method can eliminate weeds growing on the plot at the time of application, including perennial weeds such as thistles, couch grass, etc.
Can Roundup be used in the fall?
The relevance of using the product in the fall lies in the fact that it reliably destroys perennial weeds, which can be removed by inter-row cultivation only after 2–3 treatments. Many stubborn perennial weeds begin to grow in the fall, when rains follow the summer drought, and the weather remains warm and clear for a long time, which is why this is the ideal time to apply Roundup. Its biological activity will be very high. You can begin treatments in early October. The good news is that if a small amount of the working solution happens to come into contact with fruit crops at this time, the damage will be minimal.
Rules for working with the herbicide:
Safety Precautions
Roundup is not toxic to humans; in the soil, it completely breaks down into water, carbon dioxide, and ammonia within 5–7 days, but it can cause skin irritation, so it is best to wear gloves when working with it.
