A reliable soil barrier for a clean start in corn and sunflower production without weed competition.
Description
Synergy against weeds: why SMT-Star is a solid foundation for your crops
In the competitive world of corn and sunflower production, field cleanliness during early development stages is paramount. SMT-Star by «Агростар Кемікал» (Agrostar Chemical) acts as a systemic, selective herbicide that provides pre-emergence protection. By combining terbuthylazine and S-metolachlor, this product creates a formidable shield against aggressive annual grasses and broadleaf weeds, including lambsquarters, pigweed, and foxtail.
Key Advantages
- Systemic Control: Acts as a soil barrier, preventing weed germination at the "white thread" stage.
- Selective Action: The formula is designed to be safe for target crops when application protocols are followed, allowing sunflowers and corn to establish themselves without nutrient competition.
- Extended Residual Effect: Protects the field during the most critical period of crop development.
Practical Application Insights
SMT-Star is supplied as a suspension concentrate, ensuring excellent compatibility in tank mixtures. The standard application rate ranges from 2.0 to 3.0 L/ha. However, in soils with high humus content or heavy weed infestation, dosage can be increased beyond 3.0 L/ha. Given its classification as a Category 2 hazard, strict adherence to safety protocols is required. A single seasonal application is sufficient to ensure a "clean start" for your fields.
This herbicide is an optimal choice for farms practicing conventional tillage, where suppressing the initial flush of weeds is essential. SMT-Star represents a commitment to stability, minimizing the risk of yield losses due to early-season weed pressure.
