Roundup 360K Herbicide 1L

Description

Roundup 360K Herbicide is a powerful, non-selective, systemic weed killer formulated with 360 grams per liter of glyphosate as a potassium salt. Known globally for its high efficacy and reliable results, Roundup 360K is widely used by farmers, landscapers, plantation managers, and industrial operators to manage unwanted vegetation quickly and thoroughly. Its non-selective mode of action ensures complete elimination of most weed types, including annual and perennial grasses, broadleaf weeds, and woody plants.

This herbicide is ideal for preparing land for planting, maintaining weed-free fields, clearing fence lines, driveways, pathways, and general vegetation control in both urban and rural environments. With consistent use, Roundup 360K saves labor, reduces weed pressure, and enhances crop yields by eliminating competition for nutrients, water, and sunlight.

Active Ingredient and Formulation

Roundup 360K contains 360 grams per liter of glyphosate in the form of potassium salt. Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum, post-emergence herbicide that acts systemically. After being absorbed through the green parts of the plant, it translocates to the roots, killing the entire plant, not just the foliage. The formulation is a soluble liquid (SL), making it easy to mix and apply using standard sprayers.

Mode of Action

Glyphosate works by inhibiting the EPSP synthase enzyme, which is essential in the synthesis of aromatic amino acids in plants. Without these amino acids, the plant cannot produce vital proteins, leading to the death of its cells and tissues. This systemic activity ensures that even underground parts like rhizomes and tubers are affected, making it especially effective against deep-rooted or stubborn weeds.

Key Benefits

• Broad-spectrum control of weeds, including grasses, broadleaf weeds, and woody species
• Systemic action ensures full plant death from foliage to root system
• Suitable for pre-planting, land clearing, spot treatment, and general maintenance
• Visible effects within 3 to 7 days after application
• Helps reduce the need for manual weeding and mechanical land preparation
• Improves efficiency in land and crop management
• Rainfast within 4 to 6 hours after application
• Compatible with zero tillage and conservation agriculture practices
• Reduces weed seed bank over time with consistent application
• Can be used safely around mature crops if applied with proper shielding

Target Weeds

Roundup 360K is effective against:

• Annual grasses: Eleusine indica, Digitaria spp., Setaria spp.
• Perennial grasses: Cynodon dactylon (couch grass), Sorghum halepense (Johnson grass)
• Broadleaf weeds: Amaranthus spp., Bidens pilosa, Portulaca oleracea, Chenopodium album
• Woody plants and shrubs: Lantana camara, Rubus spp., Euphorbia spp.

Recommended Application Areas

Roundup 360K can be used in various settings:

• Agricultural fields: Before sowing crops like maize, beans, wheat, and potatoes
• Orchards and plantations: For inter-row weed control in tea, coffee, banana, and citrus plantations
• Industrial areas: Fence lines, electricity substations, parking lots, drainage canals, and roadsides
• Residential and landscaping use: Driveways, patios, lawns (as a spot treatment), and walkways
• Pasture renovation: Clearing old grass before replanting new pasture
• Conservation agriculture: For managing weeds in zero tillage or minimum tillage systems

Application Instructions

General Dosage Guidelines

• For light weeds: 200 ml in 20 liters of water
• For medium to dense weeds: 250 to 300 ml in 20 liters of water
• For woody or perennial weeds: 350 to 400 ml in 20 liters of water
• Standard field application: 3 to 5 liters per hectare, depending on weed density

Spraying Tips

• Use flat-fan nozzles for even distribution and efficient leaf coverage
• Spray when weeds are actively growing, typically when they are 10 to 20 cm tall
• Avoid spraying during windy conditions to prevent drift to nearby crops
• Do not spray when rain is expected within 4 to 6 hours of application
• Avoid dusty, muddy, or wet leaves for maximum absorption
• Ensure the sprayer is clean and calibrated properly
• Do not disturb treated weeds for at least 7 days to allow full systemic action

Mixing Instructions

1. Fill your spray tank with half the required volume of clean water

2. Add the correct amount of Roundup 360K

3. Stir thoroughly until the solution is fully mixed

4. Top up the tank with water to the required level and agitate again

5. Begin spraying immediately

For better results on waxy, hairy, or hard-to-wet surfaces, a non-ionic adjuvant such as Aquawet 15SL can be added to the mixture.

Safety Guidelines

• Wear protective gloves, mask, goggles, and overalls when handling or spraying
• Avoid inhaling spray mist or allowing it to contact skin or eyes
• Do not eat, drink, or smoke during handling or spraying
• Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling
• Store out of reach of children and animals in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place
• Do not reuse the container. Triple-rinse and puncture before proper disposal
• In case of accidental ingestion or contact with eyes, seek medical attention immediately

Environmental Considerations

• Roundup 360K is rapidly inactivated once it contacts soil and does not persist in groundwater
• Safe to plant most crops 7 to 14 days after application depending on conditions
• Do not apply directly into water bodies or allow spray to drift into aquatic ecosystems
• Use buffer zones near sensitive areas like gardens, ponds, and non-target crops

Compatibility

Roundup 360K is generally compatible with other herbicides and surfactants. However, always conduct a small jar test when mixing products for the first time. Avoid mixing with herbicides containing paraquat or acidic fertilizers unless compatibility is confirmed.

Storage and Shelf Life

• Store in original packaging away from sunlight and extreme heat
• Shelf life: Minimum of 2 years under recommended storage conditions
• Keep container sealed when not in use to prevent contamination

Packaging Sizes

• 1-liter bottle – For smallholder farmers and targeted application
• 5-liter container – Suitable for medium farms and repeated use
• 20-liter drum – Best for commercial agriculture or industrial maintenance work

Precautions for Crop Areas

• As a non-selective herbicide, Roundup 360K will damage any green plant it contacts
• Avoid spray drift to young crops, flowers, or nearby plants
• In inter-row applications, use shielded sprayers or apply with precision to avoid crop injury

Post-Treatment Recommendations

• Allow at least 7 days after spraying before planting new crops
• Monitor the treated area for regrowth and reapply if necessary
• Clean sprayer thoroughly after use to avoid glyphosate residues affecting future treatments

Conclusion

Roundup 360K is a proven solution for effective weed control in Kenya and globally. Its fast-acting, systemic formula ensures complete weed destruction from root to shoot. With proper use, it simplifies land preparation, reduces labor costs, and supports sustainable farming and environmental cleanliness.
