Arsenal Novy

Arsenal Noviy: The BASF standard for vegetation management

Arsenal Noviy is a cornerstone in industrial weed control, representing the high-performance standards associated with BASF. As a non-selective, systemic herbicide, it is engineered for total vegetation management, targeting both annual and perennial broadleaf and grass weeds. When total site clearing is the goal, this product provides the biochemical precision required to eliminate unwanted flora at the root level.

Global production excellence

The product's integrity is managed by BASF Agro B.V. (Switzerland), with manufacturing strictly distributed across key global facilities: Genay (France), Sparks (USA), Torrenieri (Italy), and Schönebeck (Germany). This manufacturing footprint ensures that the formulation—based primarily on Imazapyr—maintains rigorous stability and efficacy standards regardless of where the batch originated.

Key performance specs

• Action: Systemic, foliage-applied herbicide.
• Classification: Non-selective, post-emergence herbicide.
• Usage: Max 1 application per season; 2–5 L/ha application rate.
• Hazard class: 3.

Arsenal Noviy acts as an amino acid synthesis inhibitor. Upon contact with foliage, the systemic nature of the compound allows it to translocate through the plant’s vascular system, eventually reaching the roots and ensuring complete kill. This makes it an essential tool for utility rights-of-way, industrial sites, and land preparation where manual or mechanical weeding is impractical. Its reliability in preventing re-growth makes it a preferred choice for professional vegetation management experts worldwide.
