Cassius, v.r.p., (Rimsulfuron, 250 g/kg)

Why Cassius is our reliable choice for corn protection

Managing weed pressure in corn fields requires a precise approach, and we’ve been relying on Cassius, v.r.p. for several seasons. As someone who spends a lot of time in the field, I appreciate the practical side of this product: the water-dispersible granules are easy to handle and don't create dust during tank mixing. It dissolves quickly, which saves time during the busy spraying season and keeps the equipment clean.

Field Performance and Application

This is a systemic herbicide, meaning it acts internally. Once applied to the leaves, the Rimsulfuron (250 g/kg) starts working immediately to stop weed competition for water and nutrients. In our experience, we see weed growth cessation within days. It is particularly effective against couch grass, common lambsquarters, pigweed, shepherd's purse, and ragweed.

• Application Rate: 0.04–0.05 kg/ha is sufficient to clean the field effectively.
• Flexibility: Being a post-emergence selective herbicide, it fits perfectly into the corn protection program.
• Safety and Maintenance: With a hazard class of 3, standard safety measures are mandatory but sufficient. The sprayer maintenance is straightforward, as the formulation is stable and doesn't clog nozzles.

Cassius is designed for a single application per season. When applied at the right time, it provides long-term control, allowing the crop to develop without being smothered by aggressive grasses or broadleaf weeds. The key to success here, as with many systemic products, is the uniformity of the spray coverage and timing it while the weeds are in their active growth phase.

Bottom Line for Operators

For those managing the equipment, it’s a hassle-free product. No residue issues in the tank, easy to dose, and consistent performance across various soil and weather conditions, provided the application window is respected. It’s an essential tool that simplifies the farm management cycle.
