Floracid Active

Effective Weed Control: Why Choose «Floracid Aktiv»

In intensive grain production, winter crops require precise weed management during the early spring period. «Floracid Aktiv» by Basdorf is a specialized tool for farmers aiming to efficiently eliminate broad-leaved weeds in winter wheat and barley fields right after the crops resume active vegetation.

The efficacy of this product is rooted in the synergy between two active ingredients: florasulam and tribenuron-methyl. This combination allows for superior control over even overgrown or hard-to-kill weeds, which often pose a challenge for standard herbicide mixtures.

Target Weeds

• Persistent perennials: creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense) and sow thistle (Sonchus arvensis).
• Resistant species: cleavers, scentless mayweed, and common lambsquarters.
• Early spring weeds: shepherd's purse and common chickweed.
• Aggressive invaders: common ragweed, which competes significantly with cereal crops for nutrients and moisture.

Practical Application Insights

As a systemic, selective herbicide, «Floracid Aktiv» functions primarily through leaf absorption. It is designed for post-emergence application, providing farmers with the flexibility to address weed infestation exactly when it becomes a threat to crop productivity.

Key agronomic considerations:

• Dosage: A highly efficient application rate of up to 25 grams per hectare helps optimize input costs per hectare.
• Flexibility: Being a contact-action insurance herbicide, it allows for targeted field management after winter dormancy.
• Strategy: Designed for a single-pass application, it is sufficient to maintain a clean field throughout the critical growth stages.

With a hazard class of 3, the product is predictable in handling and storage, making it a reliable choice for professional agricultural operations.
