Why 'Klok' has become our go-to soil-applied herbicide

When it comes to early-stage crop protection, precision is everything. Working with 'Klok' from Agro Life Science Corporation, we rely on the proven power of propisochlor. As a selective systemic herbicide, it creates a reliable barrier against annual broadleaf and grass weeds long before they can compete with the crop for moisture and nutrients.

Field Application and Performance

Since this is a soil-applied product, proper soil moisture is the key to its success. We apply it strictly pre-emergence. The emulsifiable concentrate formulation mixes exceptionally well in the spray tank, meaning no clogged filters or nozzles—a major time-saver during the hectic sowing season.

• Application Rate: We typically use 2.0 to 3.0 L/ha, adjusting based on soil texture and weed pressure forecasts.
• Crop Safety: It is highly selective, showing no phytotoxicity on soybeans, sunflowers, corn, rapeseed, or forage beets when applied at the recommended rates.
• Efficiency: A single application provides a robust protective layer, eliminating the need for costly follow-up passes.

Regarding maintenance and safety, it falls under the Class 3 hazard category, so standard protective gear is sufficient. For an operator, 'Klok' is a 'set and forget' solution. It performs its duty by effectively sealing the soil surface and preventing weed germination. For us, this means starting the season with clean fields and giving our crops a stress-free start in their most vulnerable phase.
