The one-loop evolution of couplings in the minimal supersymmetric standard model, extended to include baryon nonconserving ([ital ];sB) operators through explicit [ital R]-parity violation, is considered keeping only [ital ];sB superpotential terms involving the maximum possible number of third generation superfields. If all retained Yukawa couplings [ital Y][sub [ital i]] are required to remain in the perturbative domain ([ital Y][sub [ital i]][lt]1) up to the scale of gauge group unification, upper bounds ensue on the magnitudes of the [ital ];sB coupling strengths at the supersymmetry-breaking scale, independent of the model of unification. They turn out to be similar to the corresponding fixed point values reached from a wide range of [ital Y][sub [ital i]] (including all [ital Y][sub [ital i]] greater than unity) at the unification scale. The coupled evolution of the top quark and [ital ];sB Yukawa couplings results in a reduction of the fixed point value of the former.
