Herbicide PICA-DOR, V.R.K., (imazethapyr 100 g/l)

Systemic Protection for Soybeans and Peas: PICA-DOR Overview

Effective weed management is the cornerstone of high yields in legume production. PICA-DOR, a herbicide manufactured by Nanjing Essence Fine-Chemical Co. Ltd (China), serves as a robust tool for establishing a protective soil barrier. Containing 100 g/l of imazethapyr, this selective herbicide is designed to control a broad spectrum of weeds during the early, most critical stages of crop development.

Practical Application and Strategy

PICA-DOR is applied as a pre-emergence herbicide, ensuring that your fields remain clean from the very start. Its systemic nature allows the active ingredient to reach deep into the root systems of competing weeds, including persistent ones, while leaving soybeans and peas unaffected due to its selective mode of action.

Target Weeds Covered:

• Perennial and grass weeds: Quackgrass (Elymus repens), Barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli).
• Problematic broadleaf weeds: Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), Redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus), Common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album).
• Field standards: Wild mustard, Shepherd's purse, Black bindweed.

The application rate ranges from 0.5 to 1 liter per hectare, depending on soil conditions and the weed pressure intensity. A single application per season is sufficient to maintain control. With a hazard class 3 rating, the product is manageable under standard safety protocols. By incorporating PICA-DOR into your agronomic plan, you provide your crops with the necessary head start to optimize nutrient and water intake, ensuring a more uniform and vigorous stand.
