EXPRESS EXTRA

Precision Weed Control in Sunflower Crops

For agricultural producers utilizing the ExpressSun technology, maintaining clean fields is essential for maximizing yield potential. «Експрес Екстра», manufactured by the Swiss company «Дюпон Інтернешнл Оперейшнз Сарл», provides a highly effective systemic solution to manage broadleaf weed infestations. This herbicide is engineered to selectively eliminate competition, allowing sunflowers to thrive without the stress of nutrient and moisture deprivation.

Core Benefits and Mechanism

The product utilizes a dual-action formula (thifensulfuron-methyl and tribenuron-methyl) which works systemically within the weeds. Once applied via leaf surface, the active ingredients move through the plant tissues to inhibit growth at the cellular level. This is particularly crucial for controlling difficult species such as field thistle (Cirsium arvense), common lambsquarters, redroot pigweed, and various cruciferous weeds like wild mustard and shepherd's purse.

Practical Field Application

• Timing: The product is designed for post-emergence application, specifically when the sunflower is in the 2 to 8-leaf stage. Timely application ensures that target weeds are intercepted during their most vulnerable developmental phases (before they reach the 4–6 leaf stage).
• Dosage: With a flexible application rate of 0.03–0.05 kg/ha, farmers can adjust the dosage based on the specific weed pressure in their fields, optimizing both cost and environmental impact.
• Ease of Use: Packaged as water-soluble granules, the herbicide facilitates quick mixing and consistent spray coverage. This makes it a preferred choice for large-scale operations where equipment uptime and efficiency are top priorities.

By incorporating «Експрес Екстра» into your crop protection strategy, you gain a reliable partner from «Дюпон Інтернешнл Оперейшнз Сарл» that ensures your crop remains free from competition. This selective herbicide provides a clear path to high-yielding, clean-harvest sunflower production.
