Agat

Systemic weed control in sunflower crops

"Agat" by "Promin-Agrokhim" is a specialized post-emergence herbicide designed for intensive sunflower farming. By combining two potent active ingredients — imazamox and imazapyr — this product transforms from a standard control agent into a vital tool for combating the most stubborn weeds, including the highly invasive broomrape.

Why choose "Agat"?

• Broad-spectrum coverage: The herbicide effectively targets a wide variety of weeds: lamb's quarters, amaranth, mustard, ragweed, and sow thistle are destroyed systemically, as the substance penetrates the growth points of the plants.
• Selectivity: As a selective herbicide, "Agat" protects the crop, allowing sunflower plants to grow without competition for water and essential nutrients.
• Root-system action: The systemic nature of the formula ensures deep penetration into the root network, which is essential to prevent weed regrowth.

Application and Efficiency

The product is applied post-emergence on the leaf surface. The water-soluble concentrate formulation ensures rapid uptake of the active ingredients. With an application rate of 1.0 to 2.0 l/ha, farmers gain full control over the field’s phytosanitary state throughout one vegetation period (one application per cycle).

Strengths: Rapid impact, high efficacy against broomrape, and easy dosing. It is important to note that "Agat" falls under hazard class 3, which requires strict adherence to safety protocols when handling the solution and using personal protective equipment. The product is an optimal choice for farms utilizing "Clearfield" technology and dealing with significant weed infestation, particularly quarantine species.
