Acris

Why «Acris» is the standard for clean fields

When planning protection for soybeans, corn, or sunflowers, the primary task for an agronomist is to eliminate weeds before they emerge. «Acris» by BASF S.A. solves this by creating a powerful soil barrier during the pre-emergence stage. This systemic, selective herbicide does not just suppress weeds; it blocks their growth before they even sprout.

Field performance

The product combines two active ingredients: terbuthylazine and dimethenamid-P. This combination allows for effective control of both annual grasses and broad-leaved weeds. In intensive farming, where planting windows are tight, the ability to apply a herbicide once and rely on its protection is crucial. «Acris» is designed for a single application, significantly saving farm operational resources.

Practical application tips

• Timing: Apply strictly pre-emergence. The ideal scenario is application immediately after sowing, while soil moisture is sufficient for the product to form a high-quality «screen».
• Dosage: Ranges from 1.0 to 3.0+ L/ha depending on soil type and weed pressure. On heavier, high-humus soils or in areas with high weed infestation, aim for the higher end of the dosage range.
• Selectivity: Crop plants (corn, soybeans, sunflowers) show high tolerance to the product's components, which eliminates the risk of phytotoxicity when the regulations are followed.

The suspension concentrate formulation is convenient for preparing the spray solution: it is stable, mixes easily, and does not clog sprayer nozzles. With its Class 3 toxicity rating, «Acris» remains a balanced tool that minimizes environmental impact while ensuring crop cleanliness during the most critical development stages.
