Extra-Corn, SE, herbicide

Reliable soil-applied protection for maize and sunflower

In modern agronomy, managing weed pressure at the early stages of crop development is essential for maximizing yield potential. The herbicide Ekstrakorn, SE, manufactured by the Belarusian company Frandesa, provides a robust solution for pre-emergence control, specifically designed for maize and sunflower fields.

Active synergy

The efficacy of Ekstrakorn lies in its well-balanced combination of active ingredients: Terbuthylazine and S-metolachlor. This chemical pair creates a strong defensive barrier in the soil, effectively inhibiting the germination of both annual broadleaf and grass weeds. As a selective systemic herbicide, it targets weeds without compromising the growth of the crop, provided the application protocols are strictly followed.

Application and Performance

Designed for pre-emergence use, Ekstrakorn acts as a foundational element in integrated weed management. Because it is a soil-applied herbicide, its performance is optimized by ensuring proper seedbed preparation and adequate soil moisture. With an application rate of 1.0 to 2.0 liters per hectare, it provides a consistent protective layer during the critical window of crop establishment.

• Action Type: Systemic, selective soil-applied herbicide.
• Formulation: Aqueous suspension concentrate (SE), ensuring high stability and ease of tank mixing.
• Target Crops: Maize, Sunflower.
• Safety Class: 2, requiring standard protective equipment and responsible handling.

Frandesa has built a reputation for providing reliable and cost-effective crop protection products. By choosing Ekstrakorn, growers invest in a cleaner field start, effectively eliminating competition for nutrients and water right from the beginning of the season. A single application allows the crop to establish a strong root system, setting the stage for successful development and higher yields.
