AUBAINE® 518 SC

Are your winter rainfall wheat crops plagued by the presence of ryegrass and broadleaf weeds? We have a pre-plant, pre-emergence and early post-emergence weed control solution for you.

Aubaine® 518 SC is a suspension concentrate herbicide for the residual pre-plant, pre-emergence or early post-emergence control of weeds in wheat in the winter rainfall region.

Key advantages and attributes

• Controls Lolium spp resistant to ALS (AcetoLactate Synthase) enzyme inhibiting herbicides in wheat.
• Options for pre-plant, pre-emergence, and early post-emergence application.
• The unique mode of action combination makes it an effective tool to manage herbicide resistance while also controlling ryegrass and selected broadleaf weeds in wheat.

BROADSTRIKE® 800 WG

Broad-leaf weeds compete with your crop plants for air, water and sunlight. More concerning is the fact that they also deplete the soil of nutrients which are critical to the health of your lucerne, medic and clover pastures. Thus they affect the growth, quality and potential yield of your crops and their removal is necessary.
BROADSTRIKE® 800 WG is a post-emergence herbicide (with pre-emergence uses) for the control of certain broadleaf weeds in lucerne, medic and clover pastures.

Key advantages and attributes

• Excellent crop protection for medics, clover and lucerne.
• Early application is possible, to maximise crop production.
• Wheat can be planted within 3 months after Broadstrike® 800 WG application.

DERBY® 175 SC

In need of a herbicide that protects your crops from difficult to control broadleaf weeds such as Cape Marigold and Radish?

Derby® 175 SC is a selective post-emergence herbicide for the control of broadleaf weeds in wheat and oats – is your answer.

Key advantages and attributes

• Excellent control of non-ALS resistant weeds such as Cape Marigold (gousblom) and Wild Radish (ramenas).
• Can be used with other herbicides to provide wider protection.
• Excellent crop protection for wheat and oats.
• Wide application window for crop growth stage.
• Does not leach or move laterally in the ground.

GALLANT® SUPER

Many of our crop protection solutions are designed to have no to minimal negative impact on beneficial earthworms, soil micro-organisms and bees – while addressing problematic grasses and weeds. These insects and organisms all play a vital role in our agricultural ecosystems and need to be protected.

GALLANT® SUPER is one such product. A selective systemic post-emergence emulsifiable concentrate herbicide for the control of annual and perennial grasses in broadleaf crops.

Key advantages and attributes

• Excellent control of a range of annual and perennial grasses at lower rates per hectare than competitive products – less product handled, fewer containers to dispose of.
• Very low toxicity to honeybees.
• Non-toxic to earthworms and soil microorganisms.
• OralTM LD 50 (mammals) of >5 000 mg/kg. Compare table salt (3 000 mg/kg), nicotine (9 mg/kg), caffeine (192 mg/kg).

KERB™FLO 400 SC

Annual winter grasses are highly competitive and crops of the water and nutrients that help them thrive. Grass root systems are finely divided and are highly efficient at removing water and nutrients from soils, negatively affecting the growth of fruit trees, canola, lettuce, legumes and grapes in winter rainfall areas.

Kerb™ FLO 400 SC is a suspension concentrate herbicide used for annual winter grasses in orchards (as indicated), canola, grapes, lettuce and legume pastures in the winter rainfall areas.

Key advantages and attributes

• Good residual control- controls grasses that have not germinated during application.
• Is compatible with insecticides, e.g. dimethoate.

LONTREL™100 SL

Have you heard about our annual broadleaf herbicide that is safe for birds, fish, daphnia, bees, ground micro-organisms and earthworms?

Lontrel™ 100 SL is a systemic water-soluble liquid herbicide for post-emergence control of annual broadleaf weeds that affect Canola.

Key advantages and attributes

• Narrow spectrum allows control of targeted specific weed groups.
• Good crop safety profile in Canola.
• Minimal transfer in soil (half-life in soil of 1-4 weeks).
• Safe for birds, fish, daphnia, bees, ground micro-organisms and earthworms when used according to label instructions.

PALLAS® 45 OD

Are you looking for a herbicide that offers excellent control of a range of grass weeds as well as key broad-leaf weeds while reducing weed build-up?

Pallas® 45 OD is a selective post-emergence control of common wild oats (Avena fatua), Ripgut brome (Bromus diandrus) Jampanese brome (Bromus japonicus) Spiny Pemex or Emex dubbeltjie (Emex australis), small seed canary (Phalaris minor)* and ramenas (Raphanus raphanistrum) in wheat. *Variable control sometimes occurs.

Key advantages and attributes
