ALPHA-CLOMAZON C.E.

Securing Winter Oilseed Rape Yields from Day One

For professional farmers, the success of an oilseed rape crop is largely determined during the pre-emergence stage. Uncontrolled weed pressure at this time can drastically reduce the crop's ability to develop a strong rosette. «АЛЬФА-КЛОМАЗОН К.Е.» (Alpha-Clomazone EC) from the British manufacturer «Юнісіті Ентерпрайсіс Л.П.» provides a robust soil-applied solution designed to keep fields clean from the very start.

Mode of Action and Application

As a selective systemic herbicide, this product is designed for pre-emergence application immediately after sowing. The active ingredient, clomazone, is absorbed through the roots and emerging shoots of weeds. It works by inhibiting the biosynthesis of photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll and carotenoids), leading to the characteristic bleaching and subsequent death of target weeds before they can establish competition with the crop.

Targeted Weed Control

This formulation is highly effective against a wide range of aggressive broad-leaved weeds that threaten oilseed rape development, including:

• Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) and redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus).
• Common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album) and cleavers (Galium aparine).
• Shepherd's purse, common chickweed, purple dead-nettle, and field pansy.

Practical Field Efficiency

The recommended application rate is 0.15–0.2 L/ha, with a maximum of one application per season. For optimal results, soil conditions are critical. Being a soil-applied herbicide, it requires adequate soil moisture to ensure the formation of a uniform protective barrier. When applied correctly on well-prepared seedbeds, it creates a stable "shield" that prevents weed competition, allowing the oilseed rape to maximize its nutrient intake and achieve uniform stand establishment.

By incorporating «АЛЬФА-КЛОМАЗОН К.Е.» into your agronomic strategy, you are choosing a reliable tool that simplifies field management and sets the stage for a productive harvest.
