Shirlan 500 SC herbicide

Reliable protection for potatoes and vegetable crops

In a volatile climate where late blight and early blight can destroy a significant part of the harvest in just a few days, Shirlan 500 SС becomes the tool that allows you to keep the situation under control. As a practitioner, I note that this product is interesting because it works not only as a preventative measure but also as a reliable barrier that prevents the germination of pathogen zoospores.

Operational and application features

The suspension concentrate form is convenient for preparing the working solution: it does not clog sprayer nozzles and distributes evenly over the leaf surface. Due to the contact mechanism of action, it is essential to ensure high-quality plant coverage. When working with onions or grapes, this becomes a critical factor — 'Shirlan' must coat the tissues, creating a protective shield.

• Selectivity and safety: The product is gentle on crops when dosage regulations are followed, showing selectivity toward pathogens.
• Rain resistance: Once dry, a film forms on the leaves that is not washed away by the first rain, which is critical for the spring and autumn seasons.
• Versatility: The ability to use it as a desiccant allows for effective drying of potato tops before harvest, simplifying machinery operation and reducing the risk of disease development during tuber storage.

Technical nuances for the agronomist

Working with a Hazard Class 3 chemical, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the regulations for using personal protective equipment. The product shows excellent results in integrated pest management programs and is easily compatible with most tank mixes, although I always recommend performing a compatibility test before large-scale application. The French quality of the composition is confirmed by the product's stability even during long-term storage in warehouse conditions.
