Systemic Weed Control: How «Argument» Functions

The «Argument» herbicide by Nertus is a systemic, non-selective product based on glyphosate, formulated as a water-soluble concentrate. From a technical standpoint, its efficacy is derived from its systemic action: the herbicide is absorbed exclusively through the foliage and translocated throughout the entire plant system, reaching the roots and terminal growth points.

Technical Specifications and Application

Because «Argument» inhibits the synthesis of specific amino acids, it is exceptionally effective against hard-to-control perennial weeds such as couch grass (Elymus repens) and Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense). As a systemic leaf-applied product, it is essential to ensure that the weeds are in a phase of active growth to achieve maximum translocation.

• Versatile Dosage: The application rate varies from 0.5 L/ha for young annual weeds up to 3.0+ L/ha for heavy infestations of stubborn perennials.
• Dual-Purpose Efficiency: Beyond its role as a herbicide, it functions as a potent desiccant. By drying out the vegetation prior to harvest, it facilitates more efficient combine operation in crops like sunflowers and cereals.
• Broad Utility: Approved for use in a wide variety of cropping systems, including orchards, vineyards, potato fields, and vegetable production.

Classified as a Hazard Class 3 product, «Argument» requires precise spraying techniques. Drift must be avoided to protect target crops. On the technical side, the formulation ensures excellent solubility, allowing for rapid uptake. For optimal results, application should coincide with the peak vegetative cycle of the weeds, ensuring that the active ingredient moves effectively into the root architecture, resulting in complete plant control.
