Argument, a.w.

Why choose the systemic herbicide Argument, SL

When a field turns into a stronghold for weeds and time for pre-sowing preparation is running out, "Argument, SL" becomes a reliable tool for clearing the area. This systemic, non-selective herbicide based on glyphosate is a classic solution for controlling both grass and broadleaf weeds, including stubborn perennials.

Key usage scenarios

• Pre-sowing field clearing: Acts as a burn-down herbicide, eliminating vegetative growth before crop emergence. It is ideal for preparing fields for cereals, corn, sunflowers, and potatoes.
• Crop desiccation: Allows for uniform crop ripening, especially in sunflowers. This reduces grain moisture and facilitates harvesting, preventing losses during field operations.
• Weed control in orchards and vineyards: When applied carefully between rows, "Argument" effectively eliminates weeds without damaging perennial crops, which is critical for protecting the root systems of trees and vines.

How it works

As a systemic non-selective herbicide, "Argument" penetrates through the leaf surface and travels through the plant's vascular system to the growing points and roots. Complete weed death occurs within 10–20 days, depending on weather conditions and weed development stages. Its water-soluble form makes it easy to measure and ensures quick distribution in the spray tank.

The production of the product is shared between the Hungarian company Peters and Burg Kft. and Chinese manufacturers Yangzhou National Chemical Westzhong Company and Zhejiang Jinfanda Biochemical Co., Ltd., ensuring consistent quality of the active ingredient. The applicant, Nertus, guarantees product compliance with regulations for protecting vegetable, fruit, and field crops. With a hazard class 3 rating, "Argument" requires standard safety precautions when applied in the field.
