Picket SL

Advanced Weed Control for Legumes: Systemic Protection with Picket SL

Ensuring the optimal start for soybean and pea crops requires effective weed management before or shortly after germination. The systemic herbicide Picket SL, manufactured by Nanjing No.1 Pesticide Factory of Red Sun Group Co., Ltd. (China), is designed to tackle a wide spectrum of annual broad-leaved and grass weeds, as well as stubborn perennial grasses.

Why Ag-Professionals Rely on Picket SL

The core of Picket SL's effectiveness lies in its dual nature: it acts as a selective herbicide with pre-emergence soil activity. The active ingredient, imazethapyr, is absorbed by both roots and leaves, systematically disrupting the synthesis of essential amino acids within the weeds, leading to complete control.

• Selective Action: Engineered specifically for legumes, it targets weeds effectively without imposing stress on the soybean or pea crop.
• Perennial Grass Control: One of the few solutions capable of effectively suppressing persistent perennial grasses that are often difficult to manage with conventional products.
• Convenient Formulation: The aqueous solution (SL) is highly stable, easy to mix in the tank, and ensures uniform distribution during application.

Field Application Guidelines

For best results, Picket SL is applied at a rate of 0.5–1 liters per hectare. The herbicide is intended for a single application per season. By applying it pre-emergence, farmers create a protective screen that allows the crop to establish a robust root system, free from competition for moisture and soil nutrients during the early developmental stages.

Given its status as a Class 2 hazard product, standard safety protocols for chemical handling must be strictly followed to protect operators and the surrounding environment. Choosing Picket SL means investing in reliable, professional-grade crop protection that helps secure your harvest potential.
