Quazar

Professional weed control in vegetable and row crops

"Quasar" by Agrokhimkontrakt is a specialized systemic herbicide designed to tackle aggressive grassy weeds in sensitive crops. Formulated with Quizalofop-P-ethyl, a member of the aryloxyphenoxypropionate family, this herbicide provides excellent selectivity. It is absorbed by the foliage of target weeds and halts lipid synthesis, ensuring that valuable crops like onions, carrots, soybeans, and beets remain completely unaffected.

Field Application and Strategy

This post-emergence herbicide is the go-to solution for growers dealing with tough perennial and annual grasses. It is specifically formulated to eliminate threats such as quackgrass, green and yellow foxtail, barnyard grass, and wild oats. In agricultural practice, Quasar is deployed for:

• Vegetable Crop Protection: The high selectivity allows for safe use on onions, carrots, table and fodder beets, tomatoes, and cucumbers, protecting yields from competition.
• Soybean Weed Management: It effectively cleans soybean fields of grass infestations without damaging the nitrogen-fixing legumes.
• Deep Root Penetration: As a systemic herbicide, it travels through the leaf to the rhizome, effectively killing deep-rooted species like couch grass and bermudagrass.

Operational Guidelines

Supplied as an emulsifiable concentrate, Quasar is easy to prepare for tank mixing. Depending on the density of the weeds and their growth stage, the application rate is set between 2.0 and 3.0 liters per hectare. Being a leaf-applied (post-emergence) herbicide, it ensures rapid absorption during active weed growth, with visible results appearing within days.

A major operational advantage is the very short pre-harvest interval—only 1 day. This makes Quasar a practical choice for farmers managing fast-maturing vegetables who need to eliminate weeds without compromising their supply chain schedule. By combining selectivity with powerful systemic action, Quasar stands out as an essential tool for high-yield farming.
