Avanguard, KE, herbicide

Protecting your yield from the start

As an agronomist, I define a successful season by the state of the field before the crops even emerge. "Avangard, CE" by Himagromarketing has become my go-to choice for sunflower and fodder beet protection. It acts as a reliable soil barrier, preventing annual weeds from competing with your crops right from the germination phase.

Operational experience and application

The system action of Metolachlor provides excellent preventive coverage. From an operator's perspective, I appreciate its formulation. As an emulsifiable concentrate, it mixes seamlessly without clogging nozzles, which is a major time-saver during peak sowing season. For best results, I apply it at a rate of 1.0 to 2.0 l/ha, ensuring the soil is sufficiently moist to activate the herbicide's protective layer.

• Selectivity: It is highly selective, meaning your crops grow without the stress often caused by harsher chemicals.
• Efficiency: Since it is a pre-emergence herbicide, a single application handles the first "wave" of weeds effectively, saving you multiple follow-up passes.
• Ease of use: It is easy to handle in the field, and while it falls under hazard class 3, following standard safety protocols makes it a very predictable and manageable tool.

Using "Avangard, CE" allows me to "set it and forget it" for the critical initial growth phase. It is a no-nonsense, professional tool for those who value efficiency and clean fields. It integrates well into standard crop rotation schemes, providing a solid, clean start for the season.
