Aztec E.C.: Soil-Applied Herbicide for Field Crops

For modern agricultural operations, establishing a weed-free environment from the very start is critical for maximizing yields in maize, sunflower, and soybean production. Aztec E.C., a herbicide manufactured by Jinan Kesaijinong Chemical Co. Ltd. (China), provides a robust solution with a high concentration of Acetochlor (900 g/l). Designed as a selective soil-applied herbicide, it creates a protective layer that stops weed growth before it begins to compete with the crop.

Application and Technical Performance

The product acts systemically, inhibiting protein synthesis in germinating weeds. This results in the suppression of annual grasses and broad-leaved weeds by targeting the hypocotyl and coleoptile, ensuring the crop has a head start in nutrient and water uptake.

• Mode of Action: Selective, pre-emergence systemic activity. It is crucial to apply to moist soil to activate the active ingredient properly.
• Target Crops: Maize, sunflower, and soybean. One application per season is sufficient to provide the required protection period.
• Formulation: Emulsifiable concentrate, ensuring compatibility with standard sprayer equipment and ease of preparation.

Supported in the Ukrainian market by Agrokhimkontrakt and Agrokhim-Zakhyst, Aztec E.C. is classified as a Class 3 hazard, requiring standard safety precautions for agricultural chemicals. By neutralizing weed competition at the germination phase, it allows the crop to establish a deep, efficient root system, which is vital for long-term health and yield potential. Growers appreciate this product for its reliable performance in various soil types, provided that technical guidelines for moisture and timing are followed.
