Goliath herbicide is a systemic post-emergence treatment for protecting corn and cereal crops from annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, including root-parasitic species. The active ingredients are 2,4-D in the form of an amine salt (350 g/l) and dicamba in the form of an amine salt (125 g/l). These components provide high biological efficiency by disrupting photosynthesis and cell division processes in weeds, leading to leaf and stem deformation, as well as destruction of the root system.
Goliath is effective against a wide range of weeds, such as ragweed, blueweed, field mustard, various types of sow thistle, chamomile, and many others. The product is applied in spring during the tillering stage of cereal crops and at the 3-5 leaf stage of corn. The application rate is 0.5 to 0.8 L/ha for cereals and 1.0 to 1.5 L/ha for corn. The maximum number of applications is one, and there is no pre-harvest interval established.
The herbicide is available as a water-soluble concentrate and exhibits good compatibility with fungicides and insecticides; however, compatibility of specific products should be checked before use in tank mixtures. The product does not accumulate in the environment and does not adversely affect subsequent crops, making it a safe and economically advantageous choice for crop protection.
