Soil herbicide for protecting sugar beet and sunflower crops from annual grasses and some annual broadleaf weeds
Active ingredient Metolachlor, 960 g/l + adjuvant
Form of preparation Emulsion concentrate
Application spectrum Sugar beet, sunflower, pea, rapeseed, corn, potato, soybean
Main advantages
Controls annual grasses and some broadleaf weeds
Extremely long residual activity (8-10 weeks)
«Dan-S» is non-volatile, but in case of soil drought, shallow incorporation to 3-5 cm into the moist soil layer enhances herbicidal effect
Differentiates from herbicide analogs by longer residual activity, providing fundamental protection against second wave of weeds
Non-phytotoxic and broad spectrum of crops on which «Dan-S» can be applied, making this product especially attractive
Superior soil surface coverage compared to similar products, thanks to the adjuvant
Upon weed emergence, the adjuvant improves control by penetrating hard-to-reach parts of the plant, thereby enhancing the product's efficacy.
Pre-sowing application with incorporation: apply the product to soil and incorporate to a depth of 3-5 cm using a disc harrow, plow, rotary tiller, or any similar equipment. Use pre-sowing incorporation technology when dry weather is expected after application.
Post-sowing application: apply the product during or after sowing, but before crop and weed emergence. Adjust incorporation depth and feasibility according to the sowing depth of crop plants.
Time required for personnel to re-enter treated areas after mechanized work — 3 days; manual work — 7 days.
Maximum number of applications — 1.
Mode of action
Inhibits cell division, blocking early stages of mitosis, causing sensitive weeds to halt growth at early developmental stages. The active ingredient, metolachlor, penetrates grassy weeds through coleoptile, causing the seedling to curl and die. The product serves as an excellent partner to post-emergence herbicides, because its action significantly weakens young weed plants that still managed to germinate.
Spectrum of activity
Annual grasses: green foxtail, common couchgrass.
Annual broadleaf weeds: prostrate knotweed, starwort, shepherd’s purse, creeping cinquefoil, black nightshade, white deadnettle, creeping cinquefoil, small-flowered galinsoga.
Perennial weeds: gumweed.
Winter annual weeds: wild radish.
Compatibility with other products
In tank mixtures, the herbicide is compatible with most pesticides. However, compatibility must be checked for each specific case.
WHO classification: Class III (moderately hazardous).
