KN 540



  Overview     MSDS  

A foliar applied translocated herbicide for the control of annual and perennial grass and broad-leaved weeds before sowing or planting all crops. For use pre-emergence and pre-harvest in cereals and other crops and the control of emerged weeds in set-aside, stubbles and orchards.

A soluble concentrate containing 540 g/l glyphosate, present as 662g/l (48.7% w/w) of the potassium salt of glyphosate

Unique use of the potassium salt of glyphosate has enabled Monsanto to produce the highest loading liquid glyphosate formulation available. KN540 has the power of a traditional 360g/l tallow amine, but is 50% more concentrated so uses one third fewer packs.

The 'No-glug' 20 litre pack is easy to pour, quicker to empty and with fewer drums to drain and rinse provides improved handling and disposal.

KN540 uses a blend of two proven surfactants; giving increased penetration of the leaf cuticle without the tissue damage associated with standard tallow amine formulations. The patented surfactant blend also enables a wider range of tank mixes than traditional glyphosate tallow amine formulations.

Always read the label. Use pesticides safely. Roundup Biactive, Roundup Max, Roundup Ultra ST and Roundup Gold contain glyphosate. Monitor contains sulfosulfuron. Latitude contains silthiofam. Ramrod contains propachlor.
