Avtoritet

Reliable field protection with «Avtorytet»

When spring field work kicks off, time is our most valuable resource. We rely on the «Avtorytet» herbicide, produced by «Fabryka ahrokhimikativ» (Cherkasy, Ukraine), to handle weed pressure before our sunflowers or corn even break the surface. As a systemic soil-applied herbicide, it serves as our primary defense, ensuring that crops don't have to compete for nutrients and moisture during their most vulnerable stage.

Application and Field Performance

The product comes as a suspension concentrate, which is easy to handle and mix. The formulation, featuring terbuthylazine and metolachlor, provides a dual-action effect: terbuthylazine targets photosynthesis, while metolachlor inhibits weed seedling growth. Based on our experience, using it within the 3–5 L/ha range keeps the field remarkably clean. It is highly selective, meaning our main crops remain untouched while targeting annual dicotyledonous and grass weeds.

• Systemic Action: The herbicide is absorbed by the weeds, providing deep control.
• Efficiency: Just one pre-emergence application is typically enough for the whole season.
• Ease of Use: The formulation mixes well and works consistently across various soil types, provided there is minimal soil moisture.

Since it is a pre-emergence product, timing is key—we apply it immediately after sowing. The 3rd hazard class means it follows standard handling protocols, which are straightforward for any experienced farm operator. The fact that it only requires one application significantly reduces the logistical burden during a busy spring season.

Practical Insights for Operators

For those managing the spraying equipment, «Avtorytet» is user-friendly. The suspension concentrate doesn't clog nozzles, and as long as you maintain proper agitation in the tank, it stays consistent. Proper equipment cleaning after use is essential, as with any high-quality herbicide. If you are looking for a reliable, selective herbicide that allows you to set the foundation for a weed-free season with a single pass, this product delivers consistent performance.
