NOPASARAN K.S.

Why «Nopasaran K.S.» is the Go-To Choice for Clearfield Systems

When working with Clearfield-resistant oilseed rape hybrids, BASF's «Nopasaran K.S.» is a standout solution. As an operator, I prefer this product because it eliminates the need for tank-mixing multiple agents. The combination of imazamox and metazachlor provides a comprehensive shield against weeds. Its systemic nature allows the active ingredients to penetrate leaves and soil effectively, providing both immediate knock-down and residual control, which is vital for weed flushes.

Field Application and Performance

We typically apply this post-emergence herbicide at a rate of 1–1.2 l/ha. It tackles aggressive weeds like white goosefoot, pigweed, shepherd's purse, and cleavers with ease. The primary advantage is the high selectivity; it manages to keep the crops free of competition without causing phytotoxicity, provided the application timing is correct.

Operational Insights

• Formulation: As a suspension concentrate, it mixes flawlessly. There is no clogging of spray nozzles, and the preparation of the mother solution is straightforward.
• Consistency: German quality control from the Gravelines plant ensures that every batch is uniform and effective.
• Efficiency: One application per season is enough to clean the field effectively, saving fuel, labor, and machine maintenance costs.

Using this herbicide feels like a strategic move. It is designed for those who prioritize efficiency and long-term crop protection, ensuring the rapeseed can fully utilize available moisture and nutrients without weed competition.
