Argument

Harnessing «Argument» for effective field management

The non-selective systemic herbicide «Argument» is a staple in modern field management when it comes to total weed control and crop preparation. Its active ingredient, glyphosate, is highly efficient at translocating through the leaves down to the root system, which is essential for eradicating stubborn perennials like quackgrass (Agropyron repens) and bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis). Growers utilize this herbicide to clear fields effectively before planting essential crops such as sugar beet, potatoes, and cereals, ensuring a weed-free environment right from the start.

Practical application scenarios

• Land preparation: For fields left fallow or heavily infested with Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense), a single application of «Argument» effectively resets the soil, making it ready for high-yield planting.
• Desiccation: Beyond weed control, it is a proven desiccant for sunflower crops. It promotes uniform maturation, dries out green biomass, and significantly streamlines the harvesting process by reducing moisture content and header losses.
• Orchard maintenance: In rows of apple, sweet cherry, and peach trees, «Argument» provides precise control over weeds like common lambsquarters and green foxtail, preserving soil nutrients for the fruit trees.

«Argument» comes in a concentrated aqueous solution, making it easy to prepare for tank mixes in the field. With a high application rate (exceeding 3.0 L/ha), it deals decisively with even the most resistant weed populations. Since it is a non-selective agent, users must ensure accurate application, preventing drift onto desired crops. The product is manufactured through an international collaboration involving «Peters and Burg Kft.» (Hungary) alongside specialized Chinese facilities such as «Yangzhou National Chemical Westjong Company» and «Zhejiang Jinfanda Biochemical Co., Ltd.», with local representation by LLC «Nertus Ltd».

The quick turnaround time of just 1 day after treatment allows for flexibility in tight agricultural schedules, ensuring that the next field operations can proceed without unnecessary delays.
