Titus 25

Efficient crop protection: practical experience with "Titus 25"

When weeds like couch grass or pigweed start taking over, you don't have time to second-guess your chemistry. In my experience, I’ve long switched to "Titus 25" by Corteva. The systemic action of rimsulfuron delivers predictable results even when dealing with stubborn weeds like white goosefoot or barnyard grass. The standout feature is its selectivity: it works effectively in corn, tomatoes, and potatoes without suppressing the crop itself.

Application and Performance

Using the product is straightforward. The water-dispersible granules dissolve quickly, creating a uniform mixture that doesn't clog sprayer nozzles. Keep in mind that this is a post-emergence leaf-applied herbicide, so effectiveness depends heavily on the growth stage of the weed. I typically apply up to 25 grams per hectare. This dosage ensures total control if timed correctly during the early growth stages of the infestation.

Why choose "Titus 25"

• Systemic action: The active ingredient is rapidly absorbed into the plant tissues, halting weed growth within hours of application.
• Broad-spectrum control: It effectively manages both grasses (bristle grass, barnyard grass) and broad-leaved weeds like shepherd's purse and chickweed.
• Flexibility: One or two treatments per season are enough to eliminate weed competition during critical crop development stages.
• Safety: With a hazard class of 3, the product is manageable and predictable for the operator when following standard safety protocols.

My advice: don't wait too long. The smaller the weed, the higher the chance that "Titus 25" will achieve 100% control with just the first application. It’s a reliable tool in any agronomist’s kit when you need to quickly clear rows of aggressive weed pressure.
