62% potassium glyphoset has arrived.

Of the power at the store (62% potassium glyphoset)

Let's look at the difference between far 62% and far 48%.

Glyphosate Potassium 62% W / V SL

There are differences from common glyphosets (most of which on the market are glyphosets isopropyl ammonium 48% W / V SL) in many ways, mainly in terms of chemical salt structure, concentration and active efficiency.

In summary, the differences are as follows:

1. Salt Form and Concentration

• Common glyphoset (48%): Using an Isopropylammonium (IPA) type salt, the concentration of active substance is 48% W / V (or about 36% Acid Equivalent glyphoset acid, a popular known as glyphoset 48).

• Glyphoset Potassium (62%): Switched to Potassium Salt (K), which has a smaller molecular weight, allowing it to dissolve and compress concentrations of substance into up to 62% W / V (representing Acid Equivalent glyphoset up to about 50-54%)

2. Absorption speed and action (Absorption & Knockdown)

• Potassium Salt (62%): Plants can be absorbed into water pipes, water pipes much faster, usually start working and dry to death within 3-5 days. And importantly, rain resistance is better (Rainfastness). If sprayed for about 1-2 hours and then raining, the substance will be absorbed into most plant leaves, eliminating the need for repeated spraying.

• Typical salt (48%): The plant absorbs more slowly. It takes 7-14 days to see the effect clearly and requires a longer rain-free period after spraying (about 4-6 hours). If it rains quickly, the substance will be washed away.

3. Efficiency against hard-to-subdue weeds

• 62% glyphosate (potassium): With higher concentration and good convection of potassium salt, it eliminates narrow leaf type weeds, and hard-subdued broad leaves, or cross-year weeds with deep root systems (e.g., kha grass, air steep grass, crows grass) more decisively, dry roots die completely, reducing re-cracking better than 48% version.

4. Consumption per Rai

• Because of the higher concentration (62% vs 48%), the practical use time. Use less amount per 20 liters of water. Reduce the transposition force and save storage space.

The picture summarizes the comparative differences.

Additional recommendations for farmers:

This is because glyphosate is a systemic & non-selective-destructive type of herbicide.

Use in fruit trees, such as durian gardens, be careful not to expose the matter to young leaves or green durian bark, because this 62% potassium salt absorption is very strong and fast, can affect the root system or the growth of the presiding plant.
