Proponit@720

Optimizing Weed Control with «Proponit@720»

The core efficacy of «Proponit@720» stems from its active ingredient, propisochlor, at a concentration of 720 g/l. As a systemic chloroacetanilide herbicide, it is engineered for high selectivity in row crops and industrial oilseeds. Its primary technical advantage is the inhibition of protein and nucleic acid synthesis within the meristematic tissues of germinating weeds, effectively preventing their emergence.

Action Mechanism and Soil Mobility

This product is a pre-emergence soil herbicide. «Proponit@720» exhibits an optimal distribution coefficient in the soil profile, rapidly adsorbing into the top layer where the majority of weed seeds germinate. The emulsifiable concentrate formulation ensures stability of the working solution and uniform application across the soil surface. Systemic action is achieved via absorption through the coleoptile of grasses and the hypocotyl of broad-leaved weeds, making it a critical tool for protecting oilseed rape, soybeans, sunflowers, and maize during early development stages.

Operational Aspects

• Dosage Strategy: Application rates range from 2 to 3 l/ha, contingent upon soil texture and weed pressure. Higher organic matter content in the soil justifies the use of maximum recommended dosages.
• Flexibility and Safety: As a selective herbicide, it does not stunt crop growth when applied according to the label, allowing the crop to establish a robust root system without competing for moisture or nutrients during the critical establishment phase.
• Application Efficiency: Designed for a single-pass application, this product reduces overall pesticide load and streamlines field operations by minimizing the need for early post-emergence corrections.

Developed by Arysta LifeScience S.A.S. (France), this herbicide provides a reliable "protective shield" on the field surface. It is particularly effective against annual grasses and a wide range of broad-leaved weeds, making it a cornerstone for comprehensive protection schemes in intensive farming.
