NOPASARAN KS

Why Nopasaran SC is a staple for Clearfield rapeseed

For agricultural producers focusing on Clearfield-resistant hybrid rapeseed, Nopasaran SC from BASF Agro B.V. has become a cornerstone of weed management. This systemic, selective herbicide is engineered to address the persistent challenges of weed competition, providing both immediate post-emergence control and long-lasting soil protection.

Key advantages of the formulation

• Dual-Action Power: By combining imazamox and metazachlor, Nopasaran delivers a double blow. Imazamox acts through the foliage, while metazachlor creates a soil barrier that prevents subsequent flushes of weeds.
• Broad Spectrum Control: The product is highly effective against challenging weeds such as white goosefoot, redroot pigweed, field mustard, wild radish, shepherd's purse, and cleavers, which often compromise yield in rapeseed crops.
• Operational Efficiency: With a recommended rate of 1–1.2 l/ha, a single application per season is sufficient to keep fields clean, simplifying field operations and protecting the crop during its critical growth phase.

Nopasaran SC is manufactured with rigorous quality standards across BASF facilities in France, the USA, Italy, and Germany. This global consistency ensures that the suspension concentrate behaves reliably under various field conditions. Being a systemic herbicide, it integrates perfectly into intensive farming systems where minimizing early-stage competition is vital for high-yield outcomes.

Is it the right choice for your farm?

Nopasaran SC is optimized for professionals who use the Clearfield production system. It is a robust, selective solution that balances immediate weed destruction with a proactive approach to soil health. While users must adhere to the single-application limit and 3rd-class safety protocols, the result—clean, vigorous fields—makes it a highly economical choice for large-scale rapeseed production.
