Daichi Extra 6 OD

Precision Weed Control for Corn Crops

Maintaining a weed-free field is the cornerstone of high corn yields, especially when dealing with persistent grasses and broad-leaved weeds. Daichi Extra 6 OD, developed by the Belgian company «ISK Biosciences Europe, N.V.», offers a robust solution through its advanced oil dispersion formulation. By using nicosulfuron as the active ingredient, this systemic herbicide ensures rapid absorption and translocation within the weed's vascular system, even in challenging environmental conditions.

Operational Use in the Field

Agronomists rely on Daichi Extra 6 OD as a post-emergence tool when weeds have already established themselves alongside the crop. Because it is a selective herbicide, the corn plant can rapidly metabolize the active ingredient, while targeted weeds succumb to its effects. This makes it an ideal choice for cleaning up fields where soil-applied herbicides have proven insufficient.

• Targeting Grassy Weeds: Highly effective against common couch grass (Elymus repens), green and yellow foxtail, and barnyard grass.
• Targeting Broad-leaved Weeds: Successfully manages redroot pigweed, field mustard, shepherd's purse, and common chickweed.

For best results, the product should be applied when the corn is in the 3–6 leaf stage. The oil dispersion (OD) technology acts as a built-in adjuvant, improving adhesion to the leaf surface and providing superior rainfastness compared to standard formulations.

Practical Recommendations

A single application at a rate of 0.25–0.5 L/ha is sufficient to address typical infestation levels. Given its classification as a Category 3 hazardous substance, users must follow safety protocols, including wearing proper protective equipment and monitoring wind conditions to avoid drift. Daichi Extra 6 OD is a specialized tool designed to reduce competition for nutrients and water, giving your corn the competitive edge it needs during the critical early growing stages.
