Albama (Albama)

Synergy against stubborn weeds

Albama from ALBAUGH TKI d.o.o. (Slovenia) is a highly effective herbicide specifically designed for Clearfield sunflower production. By combining imazamox and imazapyr, the product provides comprehensive systemic control, stopping weed growth by inhibiting essential amino acid synthesis at the cellular level.

Why choose Albama?

• Unrivaled efficiency against difficult weeds like common ragweed, Canada thistle, lamb's quarters, and pigweed.
• Extended residual soil activity, which prevents subsequent flushes of weeds.
• Systemic mode of action: the herbicide is absorbed by foliage and translocated to the growing points, ensuring control of both annuals and perennial root systems.

What sets Albama apart from single-active-ingredient alternatives is the powerful synergy between its components. This allows for the effective management of weeds that are often resistant to standard post-emergence herbicides. For farmers, this means efficient field management with a single application pass.

Application and usage

Albama is a selective post-emergence herbicide. It must only be applied to sunflower hybrids specifically bred for resistance to imidazoline herbicides; application to conventional varieties will result in crop death. The recommended rate is between 1.0 and 2.0 L/ha. It is critical to time the application based on weed growth stages to ensure maximum efficacy.

Classified as a Hazard Class 3 product, it requires standard safety protocols during handling and application. As a water-soluble concentrate, it mixes well for spray tank preparation. For agricultural operations focusing on high-yield production and clean fields, Albama provides a robust solution that balances technical performance with field safety.
