Lontrel Grand, WG, herbicide

Taking Control of Stubborn Weeds with Lontrel Grand

When perennial weeds like thistles or sow thistle start taking over, you need something that goes straight to the roots. Lontrel Grand by Corteva is a go-to solution for growers who need a systematic approach. As a field operator, what I appreciate most is how this herbicide works: it doesn't just burn the foliage; it travels through the plant to destroy the root system. This is essential for ensuring your crops have the space they need to thrive during the early growth stages.

Practical Handling and Efficiency

The formulation in water-soluble granules is a significant advantage in the field. Unlike liquid concentrates that can be messy, these granules dissolve cleanly in the spray tank, preventing clogs and reducing downtime during the refill process. As a selective herbicide, it allows you to treat crops like oilseed rape, onions, or cereals without worrying about crop injury, provided you follow the recommended application windows.

• Application Flexibility: With rates ranging from 0.5 l/ha up to 3.0+ l/ha, you can adjust your dosage based on the weed pressure level, making it cost-effective for various field conditions.
• Targeted Action: It is highly effective against hard-to-kill species like chamomile, dandelion, and cornflower.
• Post-Emergence Power: As a foliar herbicide, it is designed for use after weeds have emerged, allowing you to react precisely when the target plants are most vulnerable.

One application is usually all it takes. While it is classified as a Category 3 hazardous material, standard protective gear is sufficient for safe handling. By focusing on active weed growth, this herbicide ensures high efficacy without the need for multiple passes. It is a reliable, professional-grade tool that makes field management significantly easier.
