Efficient Weed Control in Soybean and Pea Fields: Using Tezan Herbicide

When common lambsquarters or ragweed start dominating soybean or pea fields, time is a critical factor for any agronomist. Tezan herbicide from the Vitagro Group of Companies is a reliable tool we utilize as a selective post-emergence product. Its main advantage is selectivity: it targets a wide range of broadleaf weeds without suppressing the crop itself.

Application Features and Performance

The product comes as a water-soluble concentrate, making it easy to prepare the tank mix in field conditions; we have never experienced issues with clogged sprayer nozzles while using it. Since Tezan is a contact herbicide, ensuring thorough leaf coverage is essential. We maintain application rates between 1.0 and 3.0 L/ha, depending on the weed growth stage and density in the field.

• Target Weeds: Effectively controls pigweed, field mustard, shepherd's purse, common chickweed, cleavers, ragweed, and jimsonweed.
• Crop Protection: A single application per season is usually sufficient to remove weed competition and secure crop development.
• Safety: Classified as Hazard Class 3, which is standard for the bentazone group, requiring standard precautionary measures during application.

Practical Tips for Field Operators

For the best results, we recommend applying the product while weeds are in their early growth stages. The contact action of bentazone shows quick visual results within just a few days. It is important to remember that this is a contact insurance herbicide, so waiting for weeds to overgrow is not recommended. Working with Tezan is straightforward: it is predictable, has no residual effect on subsequent crops in the rotation, and consistently demonstrates high efficacy under local soil conditions.
