Agil, EC

Precision Weed Control in Broadleaf Crops

«Agil, EC» by Adama Agan Ltd., Israel, is a high-performance systemic herbicide designed for targeted control of grass weeds. Known for its exceptional selectivity, this product provides a solution for farmers looking to eliminate competitive annual and perennial grasses without causing phytotoxic stress to broadleaf crops like soybeans, sunflowers, rapeseed, and potatoes. Its systemic mode of action ensures that the active ingredient moves throughout the entire weed plant, effectively neutralizing the root system of stubborn weeds such as couch grass.

Key Benefits for Modern Farming

• Advanced Selectivity: Specifically formulated to protect key crops like sugar beet, flax, and potatoes without affecting the main crop.
• Systemic Efficacy: Superior control over stubborn grasses such as common wild oat and barnyard grass.
• Post-Emergence Flexibility: Operates as a post-emergence herbicide, allowing for application after observing the actual weed pressure in the field.

Unlike less stable alternatives, «Agil, EC» maintains consistent performance across various environmental conditions. Packaged as an emulsifiable concentrate, it ensures efficient absorption through the leaf cuticle. With a recommended application rate of 0.6–1.5 liters per hectare, it offers high value per application. As a selective herbicide, it is important to note that it does not target broadleaf weeds; however, this allows for strategic tank mixing in integrated weed management programs.

Professional Application Guidelines

To maximize the efficacy of «Agil, EC», it should be applied during the period of active weed growth. The product requires only one application per season, with a pre-harvest interval (PHI) of 30 days. This regimen is designed to provide thorough clearing of the field while maintaining a manageable pesticide load. By targeting the metabolic points of growth in grass species, Adama’s formulation ensures that weed control is not just surface-level, but reaches deep into the root structure, preventing regrowth and protecting the yield potential of your primary crop.
