Lazurit Super

Protecting Tomato and Potato Crops Effectively

When weeds threaten to take over a potato or tomato field, manual weeding is rarely an option. From my experience with the «Lazurit Super» herbicide manufactured by ZAO Firma Avgust (Vurnary), the oil-in-water emulsion form is a significant upgrade from standard wettable powders. It dissolves rapidly in the spray tank and prevents nozzle clogging, which is essential when covering large acreages.

Application and Performance

This systemic, selective herbicide is designed for pre-emergence use. It creates a robust protective barrier in the soil that suppresses both annual broadleaf and grass weeds. Because it acts systemically, it destroys weeds from within, providing a clean start for the crops.

• Application rate: 0.5–1.5 L/ha, providing flexibility based on weed density.
• Timing: Must be applied strictly before the crop emerges.
• Safety and Compliance: Classified as hazard class 3; a 20-day pre-harvest interval ensures crop safety.

Why I prefer this formulation

As an operator, the formulation's stability is its greatest asset. The oil-based component improves adhesion and wash-off resistance against light rainfall. It is a one-pass solution for the season, meaning precision during the pre-emergence stage is key. Since it is a selective herbicide, it leaves the potatoes and tomatoes unaffected when used at the correct dosage. Compared to powder formulations, this emulsion is much easier to handle without the dust hazard, making the mixing process cleaner and safer for the operator.
