Astral 300

Why choose Astrel 300 for sugar beet protection?

The main challenge in growing fodder beet is competition from deep-rooted perennial weeds that aggressively compete for moisture and nutrients. "Astrel 300," developed by Yangzhou Pioneer Chemical Co., Ltd., is a systemic herbicide specifically engineered to tackle weed infestations where other products fail to provide complete control.

Active ingredient and selectivity

The core of the product is Clopyralid, a hormone-type herbicide. It works selectively, targeting the most stubborn weed species without compromising the health of the beet crop. A key feature of Astrel 300 is its systemic action: the active ingredient is rapidly absorbed through the leaves and translocated throughout the entire plant, reaching the root system. This is crucial for eradicating species like creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense), which can recover if only the foliage is destroyed.

Core benefits

• Specialized control: Specifically designed to eliminate chamomile, cornflower, and knotweed from your fields.
• Efficient dosing: The application rate of 0.3–0.5 L/ha ensures cost-effective weed management per hectare.
• Easy application: The water-soluble concentrate mixes effortlessly in tank solutions, ensuring stable and consistent performance.
• Crop safety: Thanks to its selective action, it eliminates weeds without inducing phytotoxic stress on the beet crop.

Who is this product for?

Astrel 300 is the ideal solution for farmers operating in regions with heavy weed pressure. Because the product achieves results with a single application, it helps save time during the critical growth phases of the crop. Having been tested in large-scale operations under the management of "Astarta-Kyiv," its effectiveness is verified in real-world professional farming conditions.

Safety note: The product is classified as Hazard Class 3. Always strictly adhere to safety guidelines and use personal protective equipment during handling and application.
