Samum 150, w.r., desiccant, herbicide

Efficient Pre-Harvest Solution for Sunflower

In modern agronomy, managing the crop maturation stage is essential for reducing harvest losses. Samum 150, SL, manufactured by the Belgian company Globachem N.V., offers a powerful solution for farmers seeking to streamline their harvest process. This product acts both as a professional desiccant and a non-selective herbicide, ensuring the crop is ready for the combine on time.

Practical Scenarios for Field Use

The primary role of Samum 150 is to prepare sunflower fields for harvesting. Farmers integrate this product into their operations to achieve the following outcomes:

• Synchronized Maturation: The product effectively terminates vegetative growth, ensuring that all heads and seeds reach maturity simultaneously.
• Weed Management: As a contact, non-selective herbicide, it eliminates annual broad-leaved and grass weeds that often obstruct harvest equipment and contaminate the yield.
• Moisture Reduction: By accelerating the drying process, it significantly lowers grain moisture levels, reducing energy costs associated with post-harvest drying.
• Protection Against Decay: Prompt desiccation minimizes the risk of mold and rot development in sunflower heads, especially in humid late-season conditions.

Application and Handling

Samum 150 is formulated as a water-soluble concentrate designed for foliar application. Since it is a contact-action agent, the effectiveness of the treatment depends heavily on high-quality spray coverage across the entire field. The product shows rapid results, which provides agronomic teams with the predictability needed to coordinate machinery and labor efficiently.

Being a Class 3 hazard product, it requires standard protective measures during mixing and application. The Belgian manufacturing standards maintained by Globachem N.V. ensure a high level of consistency, making Samum 150 a reliable choice for large-scale operations focused on efficiency and high-quality harvest results.
