Kapuero

Effective cereal protection without the hassle

When winter or spring crops emerge, there is no room for error. "Kapuero" from ZAT "Avgust-Bel" is a reliable tool that handles broadleaf weeds in a single pass. As an agronomist, I value predictability, and this product provides it through the combined systemic action of florasulam and tribenuron-methyl.

Field application specifics

The product comes as water-dispersible granules. Personally, this is a huge plus: no leaking containers, precise dosage, and no dust when preparing the tank mix. The granules dissolve quickly and do not clog sprayer nozzles, which is critical when working on large acreages.

• Flexibility and selectivity: Being a selective herbicide, it leaves wheat and barley completely untouched, while white goosefoot, field pennycress, and cleavers stop growing almost immediately.
• Economy: A low application rate of 0.02–0.025 kg/ha makes it a cost-effective solution. Given that only one application per season is needed, labor and logistics costs are kept to a minimum.
• Safety: Classified as hazard class 3, it allows for manageable handling, though standard protective gear for skin and respiration remains a requirement for any operator.

Practical advice

"Kapuero" is a post-emergence herbicide. It works best on actively growing weeds. Don't wait until cleavers pass the 2-3 whorl stage, as that is when peak efficiency is achieved. Applying it post-emergence allows you to assess the state of the fields beforehand and respond precisely to existing weed pressure.

This is a solid, dependable solution for those who prefer time-tested formulas that do the job effectively: clearing the field of weeds and allowing the crop to capture maximum nutrients and moisture.
