Product information
Astral 40 SC, 1 litre is a selective, systemic herbicide that is absorbed through the leaves and roots and translocates into the growth tissues of plants, eliminating them from competing with your crop. It offers quality herbicidal control over a large spectrum of annual monocotyledonous weeds and perennial monocotyledons.
Benefits:
- Herbicide for the control of annual and perennial monocotyledonous weeds;
- Ideal for corn crops;
- Low use rates, efficient results;
- Selective action.
Action mode:
Astral 40 SC is a product that offers control over weeds found in corn crops:
- Astral is absorbed by leaves and roots and is translocated in all vegetative parts of weeds, stopping their growth;
- The destruction of weeds occurs in 15-25 days, depending on the humidity and temperature.
Methods of application:
The product is applied using terrestrial spraying equipment, provided with a continuous homogenization system.
Volume of water: 200 to 400 l water per ha, depending on the humidity at the time of application.
Corn - 0.8 l per ha, post-emergent, when the corn plants have 4-6 leaves, and monocotyledonous weeds have 2-4 leaves.
Corn - 1.0 to 1.5 l per ha (depending on the degree of infestation and the size of the crustal plants), post-emergent, when the corn plants have 4-6 leaves.
Compatibility:
Compatible with most of the crop products available on the market.
Before mixing with other crop protection products, perform a small-scale compatibility test.
Astral 40 SC can be applied in a mixture with MICROFERT – U foliar fertilizer to prevent zinc and other nutrient deficiencies necessary for corn crops.

Avoid spray drift onto adjacent crops.

A larger quantity of water will be applied in drought conditions.
