Butisan Avant

Protecting Winter Oilseed Rape with Precision

In winter rapeseed production, timing is everything. Using 'Butisan Avant' by BASF SE has taught me that the best approach is to act before the weeds even have a chance to emerge. It’s a classic case where applying a premium product once, before germination, saves you from a season of headaches and corrective sprayings.

Triple Action Power

The synergy of Quinmerac, Dimethenamid-P, and Metazachlor makes this herbicide a standout tool. It’s not just about control; it’s about persistence. Whether I’m dealing with Cleavers (Galium aparine), Field Violet, or Dead-nettle, the soil barrier created by Butisan Avant stays solid. When your neighbors are struggling with late-season weed flushes, your crop is already establishing a strong root system without competition for nutrients.

Practical Field Experience

• Simplified Logistics: The suspension concentrate formulation is a joy to work with. It mixes easily, doesn't clog nozzles, and maintains stability in the tank.
• Efficiency: With a rate of 2–2.5 L/ha, it provides a cost-effective solution that fits perfectly into a one-pass pre-emergence strategy.
• Crop Safety: Being a selective herbicide, it leaves the rapeseed crop untouched and stress-free, allowing it to focus on vigorous growth during the crucial autumn period.

Success with Butisan Avant is all about soil conditions. As a soil-applied herbicide, it performs best when there is enough moisture to activate the active ingredients. If you time the application after sowing while the soil is moist, you’ll get the clean fields that every farmer strives for. It’s a solid German-engineered tool from BASF SE that simply does what it promises.
