Description
Ensuring a Clean Start for Winter Crops
For agronomists focused on high yields in winter wheat or barley, controlling weeds at the germination stage is paramount. «Pikona» by BASF Agro B.V. acts as a robust soil-applied barrier. As a systemic, selective herbicide, it creates a chemical shield that prevents competitive weeds like cleavers, field pansy, common chickweed, and shepherd's purse from establishing themselves.
Practical Field Application
«Pikona» is a pre-emergence herbicide designed for strategic use. By applying it immediately after sowing, you ensure the crop gets a head start, free from the burden of fighting for moisture and nutrients. Key technical features include:
- Application Rate: 2–3 liters per hectare.
- Treatment Regime: One application per season.
- Formulation: Suspension concentrate for ease of mixing and application.
- Safety: Selective action ensures the crop remains unaffected while weeds are neutralized.
Manufactured across BASF’s advanced facilities in France, the USA, Italy, and Germany, «Pikona» provides consistent performance across diverse field conditions. By incorporating this product into your crop protection plan, you shift the focus from reactive spraying to proactive field management, effectively suppressing difficult-to-control weeds before they emerge.
