Stable Weed Control with «Harus Plus KE»

When entering the fields in spring, the main goal is to give your crop a head start. Acetochlor, the active ingredient in «Harus Plus KE», has long been a staple for agronomists who value reliability. This is a soil-applied herbicide that works preemptively. Once applied, it creates a protective barrier that blocks the germination of most annual grass and broad-leaved weeds.

Operational Guidelines

• Application: The product is applied pre-emergence. For soybeans, sunflowers, and corn, this is the optimal way to eliminate weed competition at the very start of the growth cycle.
• Application Technique: Like any systemic soil herbicide, «Harus Plus KE» requires proper seedbed preparation. Large soil clods are an enemy of effectiveness. With an application rate of 1.5 to 3 liters per hectare, it is crucial to ensure even coverage so the spray solution forms a uniform layer.
• Regulations: The product allows only one application per season. This requires precision: you must hit the ideal window of soil moisture. If the soil is too dry, the efficacy of acetochlor decreases, so we always monitor the moisture level of the topsoil.

Points to Consider

The emulsifiable concentrate formulation is easy to mix in tank preparations but requires thorough agitation in the sprayer tank. Working with this product, remember that it falls under Hazard Class 2; personal protective equipment is mandatory. Its systemic action ensures that even with slight rainfall after application, the herbicide moves into the germination zone of weed seeds.

Given the wide range of production sites — from Hungary to China — it is essential to strictly follow the instructions provided on the specific label. With proper sprayer calibration and adherence to application rates, «Harus Plus KE» delivers a predictable result, allowing the crop to develop without the pressure of competing weeds.
