PIRATE, V.G.

Systemic weed control: Why choose PIRAT, W.G.

In the segment of soil-applied herbicides based on metribuzin, growers prioritize products that ensure maximum field cleanliness at the start of the season. "PIRAT, W.G." from Three Delta Company International is a selective tool for those cultivating soybeans, potatoes, and tomatoes. Its key strength lies in its systemic action: absorbed by both roots and sprouts, the active ingredient blocks photosynthesis in weeds before they emerge from the soil surface.

Efficiency and application specifics

The product belongs to the triazine chemical class, making it a highly potent opponent against a wide spectrum of annual broadleaf and grass weeds. Thanks to its water-dispersible granule formulation, "PIRAT, W.G." is easy to dose, generates no dust when preparing tank mixtures, and features excellent solubility. Its key benefits include:

• Selectivity: When adhering to the application rates specified for specific crops, the product does not stunt seedling growth, targeting only the intended weeds.
• Second-wave control: Serving as a pre-emergence herbicide, it creates a protective barrier that suppresses the emergence of new weeds during the critical early growth stage.
• Technology: The convenient formulation minimizes handling risks and facilitates easy storage.

Points to consider

The third hazard class requires standard safety measures when handling agrochemicals. As with any soil herbicide, the efficacy of "PIRAT, W.G." depends directly on soil moisture: optimal distribution and performance occur in well-prepared, fine-textured soil with sufficient moisture. In light, sandy soils with low organic matter content, dosage must be monitored carefully to avoid phytotoxicity to crops.

This product is an optimal solution for agricultural enterprises focused on minimizing competition between the main crop and weeds during the early stages, which is critical for maximizing soybean or potato yields.
