Product information
Astral 40 OD is a postemergent systemic herbicide selective for corn crops. The spectrum of herbicidal action includes both annual and perennial weed species.
Treated plants: Corn
Combat weeds: Monocotyledonous weeds, Sorghum halepense from rhizomes
The Astral 40 OD herbicide has a fine, homogeneous, oil-dispersible formulation with a tendency to deposit over time but with a good return to a homogeneous state.
Characteristics:
Astral 40 OD is absorbed through leaves and roots, translocates to growth tissues, stops cell divisions, and weed growth, causing them to dry. The spectrum of herbicidal action includes annual and perennial monocotyledon weeds.
Complete drying occurs in about 15-25 days after application, during which no manual or mechanical interventions must be made. Action times may vary depending on humidity and ambient temperature.
Preparation of the solution:
Fill the tank with half the required amount of water, add the indicated amount of herbicide in the tank followed by the remaining amount of water. Shake the solution thoroughly to obtain a more homogeneous mixture.
Recommended water quantity for 1 hectare: 200 - 400 liters.
Corn - 0,8 l / ha, postemergence when corn plants have 4-6 leaves, and the monocotyledonous weeds have 2-4 foliage. - Setaria spp., Echinochloa spp., Sorghum halepense;
Corn - 1 - 1.5 l / ha (depending on the degree of infestation and the size of the plants), post-emergence, when corn plants have 4-6 leaves, and the cost of rhizomes is 15-20 cm. - Sorghum halepense.
