Herbicide HORTU

Foundations of Protection: Soil Control with Hortu

Acetochlor remains one of the most reliable tools for agronomists when it comes to weed management during the early growth stages of crops. Hortu herbicide, manufactured by Nanjing Essence Fine-Chemical Co. Ltd, represents a classic systemic soil-applied solution tailored to the needs of modern intensive agriculture. Due to its selective action, it effectively suppresses annual grasses and broadleaf weeds without imposing phytotoxic stress on soybeans, corn, or sunflowers.

Technical Profile

The emulsifiable concentrate formulation ensures high stability of the tank mix and uniform distribution of the active ingredient across the topsoil layer. As a pre-emergence herbicide, Hortu works preventively by creating a protective shield that inhibits the germination of weed seeds.

• Active Ingredient: Acetochlor — a time-tested standard for controlling competitors for moisture and nutrients.
• Application Method: Soil application prior to crop emergence.
• Dosage Rate: 1.5–3 L/ha, depending on soil type and weed pressure.
• Safety: The product is classified as Hazard Class 3, requiring standard safety protocols when handling agrochemicals.

Strategic Role in Crop Protection

In conditions where soil moisture is limited, selecting the right herbicide is often the deciding factor for future yields. Hortu helps eliminate weed pressure during the critical window when young shoots are most vulnerable. Since the product is designed for a single application, it significantly simplifies field logistics. Manufacturing at the facilities of Nanjing Essence Fine-Chemical Co. Ltd (China) ensures strict adherence to technical regulations, while the applicant, Ukravit, provides professional product support within the local market.
