Banet Protect

Reliable Protection for Legume Crops

"Banet Protect" by Defenda is a selective contact herbicide that has become a staple for protecting soybean and pea crops. Based on bentazon, it effectively inhibits photosynthesis in a wide range of broad-leaved weeds without harming the crop itself.

Key Advantages

• Selectivity: High selectivity allows for safe application during periods of active crop growth.
• Spectrum of Action: Effectively controls the most stubborn "competitors" of legumes, including common ragweed, redroot pigweed, lambsquarters, and cleavers.
• Application Flexibility: Post-emergence application provides a targeted strike against emerged weeds, which is critical during early development stages.

Application Details

The product comes as a water-soluble concentrate, making it easy to prepare the tank mix. The recommended dosage ranges from 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha, depending on the weed infestation level and species composition. Important: "Banet Protect" is a contact herbicide. For maximum effect, thorough coverage of the leaf surface is essential. Since the product has contact-only action and does not move systemically within the plant, high-quality sprayer calibration is key to success.

Who Is This For?

This solution is optimal for farms practicing intensive soybean and pea cultivation, where suppressing weeds before they suppress the crop is crucial. Its Class 3 hazard rating makes it relatively easy to handle, and the single-treatment limit allows for precise planning of the crop protection schedule.
