Wing P

A robust foundation for a clean field

When you are managing sunflower or corn crops, the early stages of development are critical. You cannot afford to lose moisture or nutrients to weed competition. "Wing P" by BASF Agro B.V. has become our go-to solution for pre-emergence control. It essentially acts as an insurance policy, ensuring that the field remains clean before the competition even gets a chance to establish itself.

Field experience and application

The emulsifiable concentrate formulation is user-friendly. It mixes seamlessly in the tank, preventing nozzle clogging, which is essential during long spraying shifts. We typically stick to the application rate of 3–4 l/ha, which provides a consistent protective barrier in the soil. The product’s systemic and selective nature is its greatest strength: it targets annual broadleaf and grass weeds like white goosefoot, pigweed, barnyard grass, and foxtail without causing any phytotoxicity to the crop.

Why we rely on Wing P

• Pre-emergence Efficiency: It creates a stable soil screen that keeps the field clean throughout the crucial early vegetation phase. One application per season is all you need.
• Consistent Quality: Whether the batch comes from France, Germany, Italy, or the USA, the performance is consistent. BASF maintains the same rigorous manufacturing standards across all their global facilities.
• Reliable Chemistry: The combination of Pendimethalin and Dimethenamid-P delivers a powerful knockout punch to the most problematic weeds that typically choke corn and sunflower crops early on.

For an agronomist, predictability is everything. "Wing P" is a tool that allows you to lay the foundation for a high yield before the first true leaves even appear. It minimizes the need for follow-up sprays, saving time, fuel, and labor. When you need to be sure that your crop has the best start possible, this selective herbicide delivers exactly what is promised.
