A reliable soil barrier for your crops

The success of soybean, sunflower, and corn cultivation heavily depends on field cleanliness during early growth stages. The herbicide "Horizon" from the Chinese manufacturer "Zhengjiang Agrin Company Ltd." is a tool designed to eliminate weed competition before the crops even emerge.

This systemic, selective soil herbicide creates a "protective screen" in the top layer of the soil, preventing the germination of sensitive weed species. It is a critical solution for farmers aiming to reduce mechanical inter-row cultivation and protect yield potential from the very beginning.

Field Application Scenarios

"Horizon" is primarily used to control annual grass and broad-leaved weeds. It effectively manages aggressive species such as green foxtail and common lambsquarters. The active ingredient, acetochlor (of the chloroacetamide family), inhibits cell division in weeds, preventing them from penetrating the soil crust.

• Application Strategy: The product is applied as a pre-emergence herbicide. The dosage rate ranges from 1.0 to 3.0 liters per hectare, depending on soil type, weed pressure, and specific cultivation technology.
• Selectivity and Systemic Action: You can rely on its selective action for soybeans, sunflowers, and corn, ensuring it suppresses weeds without harming the main crop when applied correctly.

Practical Tips for Farmers

Supplied as an emulsifiable concentrate, "Horizon" is easy to mix and apply. As a soil-applied herbicide, its efficiency is strongly linked to soil moisture levels at the time of application. To maintain the integrity of the herbicide barrier, deep inter-row tillage should be avoided after spraying. One application per season is sufficient to keep the field clean during the most vulnerable period of crop development.

Classified as a Hazard Class 3 product, it requires standard safety protocols for chemical handling. It is a dependable choice for farms operating under intensive farming systems, where every day of growth counts toward final profitability.
