Ternat

Why Ternat has become a standard in corn and sunflower protection

In the fierce competition for moisture and nutrients during the early stages of vegetation, the choice of a soil herbicide determines your future yield. Ternat by Ukravit Science Park is a systemic preparation based on terbuthylazine that does more than just suppress weeds; it blocks photosynthesis in annual broad-leaved species right at the root.

Key Advantages

• Selectivity: Being a selective herbicide, it is exceptionally gentle on the crop, focusing its action exclusively on competing weeds.
• Systemic Control: The active ingredient penetrates the weed's root system, making it effective even in conditions of variable soil moisture.
• Optimal Timing: The product acts as a pre-emergence protective screen, ensuring a clean field during the period when the crop is most vulnerable.

Application Details

To achieve maximum efficacy, it is essential to consider that Ternat requires proper soil preparation. The product comes as a suspension concentrate, which simplifies the preparation of a high-quality spray solution. The application rate varies from 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha depending on field infestation levels and soil texture. A crucial limitation is that only one application is allowed per season, requiring strict adherence to the application schedule.

Strengths and Weaknesses

The strength of Ternat lies in its predictability. It integrates perfectly into classic protection schemes for corn and sunflower. However, like any soil herbicide, its efficiency depends directly on the quality of incorporation and the presence of minimal soil moisture. This is an optimal solution for farms practicing intensive technologies that aim to minimize mechanical inter-row cultivation.
