Bentazon-Star 480

Targeted weed control: the advantages of «Bentazon-star 480»

When fields are under pressure from broadleaf weeds like ragweed, pigweed, or mustard, farmers need a precise solution that doesn't compromise crop health. «Bentazon-star 480» is a contact-action selective herbicide that serves as an essential tool for protecting crops like soybeans, flax, and various cereals.

Unlike systemic soil-applied herbicides, this water-soluble concentrate acts directly through the leaf surface. This is a game-changer when weather conditions are unpredictable: the efficacy of the treatment does not rely on soil moisture or rain shortly after application. The active ingredient, bentazon, effectively shuts down the photosynthesis process in targeted weeds, leading to their rapid elimination.

Key strengths and application benefits

• Selective precision: Ideal for post-emergence «insurance» treatments. When soybeans or cereals are already established, this herbicide removes competition from weeds without causing stress or phytotoxicity to the main crop.
• Resistance management: Incorporating this product into your protection program helps prevent weeds from developing resistance to other chemical classes, keeping your fields clean season after season.
• Reliable manufacturing: Produced through the synergy between «Zhejiang Zhongshan Chemical Industry Group Co., Ltd.» (China) and the «Agrochemical Factory» in Cherkasy (Ukraine), the product balances high-tech formulation standards with stable local logistics, making it a reliable choice for large-scale operations.

Field notes for optimal results

For best results, timing is everything. Since this is a contact herbicide, it requires thorough coverage of the leaf area. A dosage of 1.5–3 liters per hectare allows you to adapt the application rate based on the weed spectrum and growth stage. Because the product is designed for a single treatment, it simplifies farm management during the busy season. Be mindful of the 40-day pre-harvest interval to ensure the final yield remains free of any chemical residues. By eliminating competition early, you allow your crops to maximize their potential for sunlight and nutrient uptake.
