Effective control of grass weeds in crops

When working in the field, facing infestations of couch grass or barnyard grass in soybean or sunflower crops, there is no room for trial and error. Aramo 45, EC, from BASF SE, is the tool that I rely on to resolve grass weed issues in a single pass. Its primary value as a selective post-emergence herbicide is its ability to eliminate target weeds while leaving the crop healthy and unaffected.

Application and Efficacy

• Systemic Action: The product is absorbed through the leaves and translocated throughout the plant, reaching the root system. This is critical for controlling tough weeds like couch grass.
• Phase Flexibility: I apply it post-emergence, when weeds are in their active growth stage, ensuring maximum efficacy.
• Application Rate: The rate range of 0.7 to 1.4 L/ha allows for adjustment based on weed density, making it cost-effective regardless of the infestation level.

Practical Tips for Field Operators

As an emulsifiable concentrate, preparing the spray mixture is straightforward—it mixes well and doesn't clog sprayer nozzles. It is important to remember that this herbicide is restricted to one application per season. Therefore, timing is everything; I always aim for the optimal weed growth stage to ensure a clean field without the need for follow-up treatments, which are not part of the standard protocol. Given its Class 3 hazard level, standard safety precautions are sufficient to keep the operating personnel safe. If you follow the guidelines, Aramo 45 provides a clean start for your crops with minimal intervention.
