ATACAMA, KE

Precision Weed Control in Broad-Leaved Crops

ATAKAMA, EC, produced by the Cherkasy-based «Fabryka Ahrokhimikativ», is a specialized solution designed for growers facing severe grass weed pressure. Featuring quizalofop-p-ethyl from the aryloxyphenoxypropionate group, this selective systemic herbicide is engineered to move throughout the plant tissue, effectively halting weed growth at the cellular level.

Field Application and Strategy

As a selective post-emergence herbicide, ATAKAMA is widely utilized for clean-up operations in sugar beet, winter rapeseed, soybeans, sunflower, and potatoes. It allows farmers to remove competitive grass weeds without damaging the main crop.

• Systemic Action: The product is absorbed through the leaf surface and translocates rapidly to the growth points and rhizomes. This is crucial for controlling stubborn perennials like couch grass (Elymus repens).
• Dosage and Flexibility: Depending on weed density and species, the application rate ranges from 0.4 to 1.2 liters per hectare, allowing for cost-effective customized treatment.
• Selective Safety: It poses no threat to broad-leaved crops, making it a safe choice for post-emergence weed control programs.

In real-world farming conditions, ATAKAMA performs best when weeds are actively growing. For optimal results, target annual grasses at the 2-4 leaf stage and perennial grasses when they reach 10-15 cm in height. By ensuring timely application, a single treatment is usually sufficient to secure the crop canopy. This product is a reliable choice for operations requiring a proven, selective tool that fits seamlessly into modern tank mixtures.
