Tape Extra

Systemic weed control for corn and sunflower crops

"Tape Extra" from the Ukrainian manufacturer Alfa Smart Agro is a selective soil-applied herbicide designed to protect high-yielding crops during the early stages of vegetation. The active ingredient, terbuthylazine (a triazine), ensures deep penetration into the root system, creating a reliable "protective screen" in the topsoil layer.

Advantages and spectrum of action

Farmers value this product for its systemic activity. As a pre-emergence herbicide, it blocks the development of both annual grasses and broadleaf weeds before they sprout or at the "white thread" stage. Key features of "Tape Extra":

• Formulation: Suspension concentrate, easy to prepare for field application.
• Application rate: From 2.0 to 3.0 l/ha, allowing for flexible dosage based on soil type and weed pressure.
• Selectivity: The product is safe for the crop when used according to regulations, which is crucial for uniform germination without stress.
• Hazard class: 3 (moderately hazardous), requiring standard safety precautions during handling.

Why do farmers choose "Tape Extra"?

In the Ukrainian market, Alfa Smart Agro has established itself as a provider of balanced solutions for intensive agriculture. "Tape Extra" is a fundamental tool for protecting sunflowers and corn, effectively reducing competition for resources during the initial growth period. The herbicide's maximum efficiency is achieved with sufficient soil moisture, as water promotes the activation of the active substance within the soil horizon. A significant advantage is that a single treatment per season is sufficient to keep the field clean during the critical growth window.
