Hammer, WG

Effective Crop Protection: Working with Hammer, WG

Choosing a post-emergence herbicide for winter wheat and barley often comes down to finding the right balance between selectivity and performance. Hammer, WG is a systemic herbicide that has proven itself as a robust tool for controlling broadleaf weeds. Thanks to the active ingredient florasulam, the preparation penetrates weed tissues rapidly, halting growth during critical development phases of the crop.

Application and Field Performance

For an agronomist, the ease of handling is just as crucial as efficacy. Hammer, WG comes in water-dispersible granules, which simplifies the preparation of the mother solution and keeps spray nozzles clean. The key advantage is its selective action: crops like corn and winter cereals tolerate the treatment without phytotoxic stress, while troublesome weeds such as cleavers, fat hen, and pigweed are neutralized systemically.

• Target Spectrum: Highly effective against common chickweed, shepherd’s purse, scentless mayweed, and purple dead-nettle.
• Technology: As a systemic herbicide, it reallocates within the plant, ensuring consistent results even under fluctuating weather conditions.
• Ease of Use: The WG formulation reduces dust during tank filling, improving operator comfort and safety.
