Herb 900 g/l

Ensuring a Clean Start for Your Crops

In farming, success is often determined in the first few weeks after planting. Using 'Herb 900 e.c.' (acetochlor-based) is my preferred way to secure a clean field for soybeans, sunflowers, and corn. As a soil-applied, selective, systemic herbicide, it acts as a barrier that prevents annual grasses and dicot weeds from establishing themselves right from the start.

Practical Field Application

The emulsion concentrate formula is user-friendly and mixes well in the tank. If you follow the correct mixing sequence, you won't experience clogging in your sprayer filters or nozzles. With a dosage rate of 1.5–3 liters per hectare, it’s adaptable. I usually adjust the rate based on soil type—heavier soils require the higher end of the spectrum to maintain residual control, while lighter soils work well with the lower end.

Operational Best Practices

• Soil Moisture Matters: Being a soil-applied herbicide, 'Herb 900 e.c.' requires moisture to activate. If you are facing a severe dry spell after application, remember that its efficacy relies on soil activity; keep an eye on weather forecasts.
• Uniform Coverage: Because this is a pre-emergence tool, precision during application is key. Avoid overlapping to ensure the rate remains consistent across the entire field.
• Safety First: Rated as Class 2 hazard, this product demands strict adherence to safety protocols. Use proper PPE, watch wind drift, and protect adjacent sensitive crops.

The product, manufactured through the collaboration of Peters and Burg Kft. (Hungary) and chemical specialists from China (Yangzhou National Chemical Westjong Company and Zhejiang Jinfanda Biochemical), provides a consistent formulation year over year. A single pre-emergence treatment saves you the headache of mechanical weeding during the early vegetative stage, allowing the crop to focus its energy on growth rather than competing with weeds for vital nutrients and water.
