Argument Forte

Glyphosate-based systemic control: The mechanism behind Argument Forte

The efficacy of the systemic herbicide 'Argument Forte' is rooted in its high-concentration glyphosate formula, engineered for rapid absorption through leaf tissue. As a non-selective herbicide, it moves systemically into the phloem, transporting the active ingredient to the root systems of weeds. This disrupts the biosynthesis of essential amino acids, ensuring the destruction of even the most resilient perennials like field bindweed, creeping thistle, and couch grass.

Technical Application Profile

• Dual-Action Utility: Designed as both a post-emergence herbicide for clearing fields and a desiccant to facilitate uniform ripening, it streamlines pre-harvest operations.
• Crop Versatility: The formula is approved for a diverse range of agricultural sectors, including pome and stone fruit orchards (apple, apricot, peach, cherry), vineyards, potatoes, sunflowers, and fodder beet.
• Stringent Standards: Produced via a collaboration between 'Peters & Burg Kft.' (Hungary) and specialized chemical manufacturers in China ('Yangzhou National Chemical Westzhong Company', 'Zhejiang Jinfanda Biochemical Co., Ltd.'), ensuring strict compliance with formulation requirements.

Application Engineering

Being a leaf-applied herbicide, 'Argument Forte' requires uniform spray coverage to maximize translocation within the plant. With a dosage requirement of over 3.0 L/ha, it provides robust results against heavy weed infestation. Classified as a 3rd hazard class product, it offers a distinct advantage in intensive farm management with a short pre-harvest interval of just one day. This allows for seamless transitions between application and subsequent field operations, optimizing the working schedule during busy planting or harvest seasons.
