FluCar Protect

Efficient Weed Control for Corn and Sorghum

When stubborn weeds like field bindweed or cleavers threaten corn and sorghum fields, there is no room for trial and error. In my experience, using Flucar Protect from Defenda has become a proven method for field cleanup. This systemic, post-emergence herbicide delivers exactly what is needed: selective action and reliable performance.

Application and Effectiveness

What I appreciate about this product is its selectivity. By applying it as a foliar spray, I don't have to worry about crop damage, provided the application rates are followed. It effectively suppresses a wide range of harmful weeds:

• Common ragweed;
• Redroot pigweed;
• Black bindweed;
• Common chickweed and purple deadnettle.

The emulsifiable concentrate formula makes preparing the spray solution straightforward. With an application rate of 0.5–1.0 L/ha, it works consistently; however, it is important to note that it is designed for a single application per season. Its systemic action ensures that the active ingredient, fluroxypyr, quickly penetrates plant tissues and blocks growth processes, providing rapid visual results.

Field Tips

Since this is a selective herbicide, hitting the right weed growth stage—when they are actively growing—is crucial for success. Regarding the 3rd hazard class, I always follow standard safety protocols during application. As a post-emergence tool, Flucar Protect is the ideal solution to cover the gaps left by pre-emergence treatments. It is a reliable choice for any agronomist who values predictable results and wants clean fields without unnecessary repeat passes.
