Octava, MD, herbicide

Advanced weed control for corn: why choose Oktava, MD

Corn is highly sensitive to weed competition during the early growth stages. Without proper control, weeds steal essential moisture and nutrients, leading to significant yield losses. Oktava, MD from «Shchelkovo Agrohim-KZ» is designed for farmers who prioritize clean fields and healthy crops.

The power of oil dispersion technology

The key feature of this herbicide is its oil dispersion (MD) formulation. Unlike standard concentrates, this form ensures superior adhesion and rapid penetration of the active ingredients (florasulam and nicosulfuron) through the waxy cuticles of weeds. This is a game-changer when dealing with tough, drought-stressed, or mature weeds.

• Systemic action: The active ingredients travel through the plant's vascular system, ensuring complete destruction of both the foliage and the root system.
• Selectivity: Being a selective herbicide, it eliminates competition without stunting the corn, allowing the crop to focus energy on grain filling.
• Broad spectrum: A single pass addresses both annual and perennial grasses and broad-leaved weeds.

Field application guidelines

As a post-emergence herbicide, Oktava should be applied when the corn crop is in the 3–6 leaf stage. This is the optimal window where weeds are most vulnerable and the corn is actively growing. With a recommended application rate of 0.5–1.0 l/ha, a single treatment per season is typically sufficient to secure your field.

Given its systemic and selective nature, this product is the ideal choice for operations looking to streamline their weed management program. By choosing Oktava, MD, you are investing in a cost-effective, high-performance solution that protects your yield potential from early development until harvest.
