A powerful systemic herbicide and desiccant for total weed control in industrial and vegetable crops.
Description
Field Performance: Using Argument Forte 500 SL
When you are facing a field overrun by persistent perennial weeds, you need a heavy-duty solution rather than a selective spray. Argument Forte 500 SL, manufactured by Peters & Burg Kft. and Zhejiang Zhongshan Chemical Industry Group, is a non-selective systemic herbicide that gets the job done. As an operator, I value it for its reliability: once it hits the leaf, the entire plant is neutralized, down to the roots.
Application and Field Handling
The product comes as a water-soluble concentrate. Mixing it is straightforward; it doesn't clog nozzles or filters, which is a major time-saver when you are covering large acreages. The high concentration of glyphosate ensures that even tough grasses and broad-leaved weeds are wiped out.
- Systemic Action: Translocates deep into the root system to prevent regrowth.
- Versatility: Used as both a post-emergence herbicide and a powerful desiccant before harvest.
- Broad Utility: Effective across a wide range of crops including soybeans, sunflower, rapeseed, alfalfa, flax, and apple orchards.
The application rate is on the higher side—over 3 liters per hectare—but it provides the clean slate needed for a productive season. Since it is a non-selective herbicide, precision is key during application to avoid drift onto your target crops.
Practical Insights
You are limited to one treatment per season, which helps manage resistance. Given its 90-day pre-harvest interval (depending on the crop and usage purpose), you need to plan your logistics well in advance. It is rated as a Class 3 hazard, so standard safety precautions are mandatory. For an operator, it is a low-maintenance, high-impact product that provides consistent results every time you tank-mix it.

By type of action
Depending on their ability to move through living tissues, herbicides are divided into contact and systemic. Contact herbicides cause local damage to plant tissue upon contact, which dies or gradually degrades. This action does not always completely destroy the plant; often, its... |

By Application Timing
Herbicides are classified according to application timing into pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides. Pre-emergent herbicides are mostly soil-applied or granular formulations applied before the emergence of crop plants. They are applied either pre-sowing (during pre-sowing cu... |

Desiccant
Desiccant
Desiccants (from Latin desicco — dry; desiccans (desiccantis) — drying) are chemical substances used in agriculture for desiccating plants at the root. They can be conditionally classified as herbicides, as they irreversibly affect plants by causing tissue dehydration, ultimately... |
