Conquistador 700, g/l, Herbicide

Advanced Weed Control Technology for Beet Crops

«Conquistador 700, WG» by Barclay Chemicals Manufacturing is a professional-grade herbicide designed for the selective control of annual dicotyledonous weeds. The core of this product is metamitron, a triazinone compound. Its mode of action targets the inhibition of photosynthesis within the weed plant, a mechanism that remains highly selective and safe for beet crops due to their metabolic ability to neutralize the active ingredient.

Technical Benefits of WG Formulation

The choice of a water-dispersible granule (WG) formulation is a strategic engineering decision for practical field application:

• Enhanced solubility ensures a consistent spray solution, preventing nozzle clogging and ensuring even distribution across the field.
• Superior storage stability allows the active ingredient to remain potent under various environmental conditions.
• Reduced dust formation during mixing, which improves operator safety during the preparation of the tank mix.

Action Mechanism and Application Strategy

Operating as a systemic post-emergence herbicide, Conquistador 700 is absorbed through the leaf surface and translocated throughout the weed’s vascular system. This systemic approach is essential for managing dense weed populations, particularly during critical early growth stages. With a recommendation of up to 3 applications per season, the herbicide offers the flexibility required to tackle multiple germination flushes of weeds.

With an application rate of 1–2 kg/ha, the product provides a robust shield against competitive weed species in forage beet crops. Because it acts as a foliage-applied (post-emergence) herbicide, uniform coverage is vital. Once the active substance penetrates the leaves, it effectively halts metabolic functions, ensuring consistent results even when environmental conditions are not ideal for herbicide uptake.
