Sweep

Weed control and desiccation with 'Sweep'

Achieving a weed-free field is the cornerstone of successful crop production, and using reliable systemic tools is essential. 'Sweep', manufactured by ZAT 'United Phosphorus Limited' (Russia), is a broad-spectrum herbicide based on glyphosate. Unlike selective herbicides, this product is designed to eliminate both the foliage and the root system of stubborn perennial weeds, providing a clean slate for your crops.

Key Advantages

• Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Effectively targets both annual and perennial grasses and broad-leaved weeds.
• Dual Purpose: Beyond its role as a herbicide, 'Sweep' serves as an excellent desiccant, facilitating even crop maturation and simplifying the harvesting process.
• Systemic Action: Being a systemic herbicide, it translocates through the plant, ensuring complete control of the root mass, which prevents regrowth.

Application Strategy

As a non-selective, post-emergence product, 'Sweep' is best suited for farmers practicing No-Till or Mini-Till techniques where clearing the field of vegetative mass is essential before seeding. The formulation as a water-soluble concentrate makes it user-friendly for preparing tank mixes. It is categorized under hazard class 3, meaning it is manageable provided that standard safety protocols and application equipment maintenance are followed.

For maximum effectiveness, the product should be applied when weeds are actively growing, as this ensures rapid translocation of the active ingredient. Whether you are managing field edges, fallow fields, or preparing crops for harvest, 'Sweep' provides a consistent and proven solution to weed competition.
