Prom BT

Protecting Crops from the Start

Using Prometryn via "Prom BT" is a classic, reliable strategy for managing weed pressure at the early growth stages. As an agronomist, I value this systemic herbicide for its predictability. As a soil-applied product, it creates a persistent protective screen in the upper soil layer, preventing the germination of annual broad-leaved and grass weeds before they even break the surface.

Application and Dosage Guidelines

Success depends on applying the product before the crop emerges. Available as a suspension concentrate, "Prom BT" is easy to mix and spray, showing excellent compatibility with standard spraying equipment without clogging nozzles. Because it is a selective herbicide, it is safe to use on cilantro, carrots, sunflowers, beans, peas, and potatoes. Following the recommended rate of 2–4 L/ha ensures the crop remains unaffected while weeds are efficiently neutralized.

Best Practices for Field Operations

• Soil Moisture is Key: For the herbicide to activate and form a consistent barrier, adequate soil moisture is essential immediately following application.
• Minimize Soil Disturbance: Avoid mechanical inter-row cultivation after application, as it will break the protective film and drastically reduce efficacy.
• Single Treatment Strategy: One well-timed application per season is usually sufficient to give the crop a significant head start against weed competition.

Falling under hazard class 3, the product requires standard PPE during preparation and application but remains very manageable in field settings. "Prom BT" is a proven tool that minimizes the need for follow-up weeding and helps maintain high yield potential by keeping fields clean from the very beginning.
