Spraying of crops should be carried out in the phase of true leaves in the crop and in the cotyledon phase of weeds.

Principle of action:(//tractor-service.com)
It has a contact and soil effect, is absorbed by the sprouts of monocotyledons during germination and is absorbed by the roots of dicotyledons upon contact with an aqueous solution of etofumesate in the soil. It is poorly absorbed by leaves when a mature cuticle has formed. Etofumesate suppresses meristem growth and cell division, limits the formation of a waxy cuticle in weeds.

Application features:
For extended control of the spectrum of weeds, it is advisable to use in tank mixtures with preparations:

Goal (metamitron, 700 g/l);
Shtefam New (phenmedifam, 160 g/l + desmedifam, 160 g/l);
Stefodim (clethodim, 240 g/l);
Steftrel (clopyralid, 300 g/l).

Optimum efficiency when applying more than 0.5 kg/ha of the active substance, when accumulating more than 0.9 kg/ha - for soil action. It fully reveals its capabilities (ground action) under the condition of sufficient hydration. High nutrient content and drought reduce performance.

Compatible with drugs produced by DDE FARM AG. When using drugs from other manufacturers, it is necessary to conduct a preliminary check on the compatibility of the components and the phytotoxicity of the mixture.

Regulations of application:
The best herbicidal effect is provided when the drug is used in conditions of sufficient soil moisture.

The drug cannot be used on hot days with strong solar radiation or when there is a danger of night frosts, as well as in crops of diseased or weakened plants, as damage to beets is possible! It is recommended to carry out spraying at a temperature from +8 to + 25°With the help of ground equipment in the morning (before 10) and evening (after 18) hours, with minimal air flows. Air speed during fine-droplet spraying should not exceed 3 m/s, with large-droplet spraying - 4 m/s.
