A powerful pre-emergence soil herbicide that secures your crop's early development by neutralizing weeds before they emerge.
Description
Ensuring a Weed-Free Start for Your Crops
Field experience teaches us that the competition for nutrients and moisture begins long before we see the first true leaves. Frontier Optima by BASF acts as a preventative barrier, establishing a protective layer in the soil that effectively manages weeds like lamb's quarters, green foxtail, and chickweed. As a systemic herbicide, it provides the peace of mind needed when crops are at their most vulnerable stage.
Application and Field Performance
The formulation as an emulsifiable concentrate is operator-friendly and performs reliably across various equipment setups. With an application rate of 1.0–2.0 L/ha, it offers enough flexibility to match the specific weed pressure of your soil. Because it is a selective, pre-emergence soil herbicide, it spares the main crop, allowing it to establish a strong root system without the stress of chemical competition.
Reliability in Every Batch
- Global Quality Standards: Whether the product comes from BASF Agro B.V. facilities in Germany, France, Italy, or the USA, the consistent formulation ensures the same level of performance every time.
- Targeted Control: It takes care of stubborn broad-leaved and grass weeds, preventing them from stealing vital resources from your corn, soybeans, or sunflowers.
- Operational Efficiency: With a re-entry interval of just 1 day, it fits perfectly into the tight schedules of the planting season, allowing for timely follow-up agricultural activities.
Choosing Frontier Optima means investing in a clean field right from the start. It eliminates the need for emergency post-emergence treatments and ensures your crop starts in a controlled environment.
