Sachara, a.e., Herbicide (Acetochlor 900 g/l)

Technical capacity of acetochlor in crop protection

The foundation of the Sachara, a.e. formulation is its active ingredient, acetochlor, at a high concentration of 900 g/l. Unlike lower-dosage alternatives, this emulsifiable concentrate ensures the rapid formation of a stable “protective shield” in the topsoil immediately after application. Its systemic mode of action blocks protein and nucleic acid synthesis in germinating weeds, making it a critical tool for protecting maize and sunflower during early growth stages.

Selective control mechanism

As a selective soil-applied herbicide, Sachara, a.e. functions before crops and weeds compete for moisture and nutrients. By choosing this product, agronomists benefit from:

• Control of grasses and broad-leaved weeds: Effective suppression of the most aggressive annual weed species that typically pose the highest threat to cereals and oilseeds.
• Formulation stability: The emulsifiable concentrate ensures high-quality mixing with water and uniform distribution across the field when applying at a rate of 1.5–3 l/ha.
• Cost minimization: A single pre-emergence application covers protection needs during the critical window, preventing yield potential loss at the start of the season.

It is essential to note that the maximum efficiency of Sachara, a.e. is achieved when there is sufficient soil moisture, which is necessary for the activation of acetochlor. Using this product from “Agricopter Asia Limited” allows for the creation of an optimal phytosanitary environment, giving the crop a head start for rapid development without the stress of weed competition.
