Syngenta’s new glyphosate product Kesuda launched to Chinese market

At the end of 2021, Syngenta launched a glyphosate product to the Chinese market - Kesuda Isopropylamine salt of N-glycine 41%. The product is a breakthrough to the bottlenecks of conventional glyphosate of instability at low temperature, slowing dying of weeds and unthorough weeding. Coupled with Syngenta’s advanced production technique and first-class secured service, the product is expected to rise rapidly in 2022 to become a backbone burndown herbicide. 

Glyphosate is absorbed by leaves and conducted upward and downward through the phloem to act on the growth sites such as root, stem and leaf, where the absorption rate and conductivity of glyphosate play an important role. Kesuda’s unique adjuvant formula enables glyphosate to be conducted efficiently and effectively in the whole process of application and conduction, which ensures the agent to be utilized to the fullest.

Compared to conventional glyphosate formulations, Kesuda presents three core values:

The first is its stable low temperature weeding effect. Kesuda is remarkably resistant to low temperature resistance, being stable at low temperature while weeding effect is better than that of conventional products on the market. 

The second is its thorough weeding effect and long-lasting acting. Kesuda uses a unique adjuvant that quickly spreads the agent over to the leaf surface, quickly penetrates into leaf to be conducted to the root system and foliar tissue, causing thorough dying of weeds without returning to green. 

The third is its unique and advanced formula, which is blue in appearance and super systemic. Kesuda is defoamed quickly in 20 seconds after being put into water, free of rain wash after 1 hour since application. Relying on moist air, a secondary absorption can take place, which is a maximization of the value of the product.

The market release of Syngenta’s Kesuda sets a new example of glyphosate applications for the crop protection industry, which solves practically farmers’ weeding problems.
