Acetoghan

A robust soil-applied shield for your fields

When it comes to controlling weeds during the early vegetative stages of corn, soybeans, or sunflower, the quality of the soil barrier is the primary success factor. "Acetogan," manufactured by F.Agan Chemical Manufacturers Ltd. Israel, represents a classic solution based on acetochlor, which has proven its effectiveness in intensive farming for decades.

Why choose a systemic approach

Unlike contact products, Acetogan acts as a selective systemic herbicide. Its mission is to stop weed germination before they cause any damage to the crop. The active ingredient enters the weed through the coleoptile (in grasses) or hypocotyl (in broad-leaved plants), disrupting protein synthesis and cell division.

Key features and advantages

• Reliable soil barrier: The emulsion concentrate formulation allows the product to distribute evenly across the soil surface, creating a protective dome that remains active during the period of critical competition between weeds and the crop.
• Selective action: Perfectly suited for operations where ensuring the purity of soybean, sunflower, and corn crops right from the moment of planting is paramount.
• Broad-spectrum control: Highly effective against most annual grasses and many annual broad-leaved weeds that typically stifle crops at early growth stages.

Operational nuances

As a pre-emergence herbicide, Acetogan requires high-quality soil preparation. Soil moisture is the primary catalyst for activation. The application rate varies from 1.5 to 3 liters per hectare, providing agronomists with the flexibility to balance protection intensity based on the weed pressure of a specific field. Please note: the maximum number of applications is limited to one per season, which necessitates precise application techniques.

Who is this product for? It is an optimal choice for those who prioritize preventive protection. If you follow intensive farming practices and wish to eliminate the need for early post-emergence treatments, Acetogan is a proven tool for ensuring a clean, successful start for your crops.
