Gesagard 500 FW, EC, herbicide

The Benchmark in Soil-Applied Weed Control

In the crop protection market, where products frequently come and go, Гезагард 500 FW, КС (Gesagard 500 FW) by Syngenta remains a true industry classic. This Swiss-engineered systemic herbicide has held its ground for decades as one of the most reliable tools for protecting vegetable and industrial crops. Its effectiveness stems from its precision: by selectively targeting competitive weeds, it leaves protected crops completely unaffected.

The Science of the «Swiss Shield»

The product is powered by prometryn, an active ingredient that inhibits photosynthesis in germinating weeds. As a soil-applied herbicide, Gesagard creates a protective barrier in the top layer of the soil. Weeds absorb the compound through their root systems during germination, ensuring a clean field from the very first days of vegetation.

Technical Specifications and Use

The product is formulated as a suspension concentrate, making it easy to mix and apply. Key technical parameters include:

• Action type: Systemic, selective herbicide.
• Timing: Pre-emergence application.
• Application rate: 2.0–3.0 L/ha, depending on soil type and weed pressure.
• Application limit: One treatment per season.

Gesagard 500 FW is indispensable for cultivating potatoes, carrots, garlic, celery, and coriander. It also shows high performance in sunflower, kidney bean, and pea crops. It effectively manages a wide spectrum of annual dicotyledonous and grass weeds, sparing farmers the need for early mechanical inter-row cultivation.
