Raul Forte

Raul Forte: High-Efficiency Weed Management

Raul Forte is a systemic non-selective herbicide formulated with glyphosate, designed to act as a definitive solution for managing field weed populations. Whether dealing with annual grasses or tenacious perennial weeds like quackgrass and thistle, this product delivers total control by targeting the root system of the plant.

Primary Field Operations

• Pre-seeding Site Preparation: Ideal for cleaning fields from weeds that emerged before the main crop. By creating a 'clean start,' farmers provide optimal conditions for slow-starting crops such as vegetables and beets, reducing early competition.
• Desiccation and Harvest Aid: Used extensively on soybeans, sunflowers, and flax, Raul Forte accelerates the drying of vegetative mass. This is crucial for achieving uniform maturity and reducing moisture levels in seeds, which minimizes combine downtime and reduces post-harvest drying costs.
• Post-Harvest Stubble Treatment: An effective way to suppress weeds after the crop is removed, preparing the soil for the next season without the need for extensive mechanical tillage.

Application Strategy

The product comes as an easy-to-mix aqueous solution. Depending on the target weed growth stage and density, application rates range from 0.5 to over 3.0 L/ha. Because it is a leaf-absorbed (insurance) herbicide, application timing is key: weeds should have sufficient leaf surface area to ensure maximum glyphosate uptake and translocation to the roots. It is suitable for 1–2 applications per season and is classified as a Category 3 hazard, requiring standard professional safety protocols during spraying. By leveraging its systemic action, farmers can achieve uniform control across diverse crop types, including alfalfa, rice, and canola.
