Bakcard 125 CE, herbicide

Targeted control for grass weed infestation

Backard 125 KE by TerraVita Ukraine is a precision-engineered herbicide designed for farmers tackling heavy grass weed pressure in broadleaf crops. Utilizing Quizalofop-P-ethyl, a potent aryloxyphenoxypropionate, this product offers high systemic activity. Unlike non-selective agents, it acts selectively, effectively cleaning up fields of soybeans, sunflowers, rapeseed, and fodder beets without compromising the crop's health.

The systemic advantage

The core strength of Backard 125 KE lies in its rapid absorption and translocation to the weed’s growing points and root system. This is particularly crucial for fighting couch grass (Elymus repens), a stubborn perennial that is notoriously difficult to eradicate with contact-only herbicides. Once applied, the competition for moisture and nutrients stops almost immediately, with complete weed mortality typically observed within 10–14 days.

Application and performance profile

• Flexible dosage: With a rate of 0.5 to 1.0 L/ha, it allows for tactical application based on the specific weed density of the field.
• Crop safety: Being a selective herbicide, it preserves the vitality of broadleaf crops while focusing damage solely on grassy weeds.
• Formulation stability: The emulsifiable concentrate formulation ensures uniform leaf coverage and stable mixing characteristics.

As a post-emergence insurance herbicide, the timing is critical. Optimal results are achieved when grass weeds are in the 2–4 leaf stage. A single application is usually sufficient to maintain a clean field throughout the season, providing an excellent return on investment. With a Class 3 hazard rating, it balances efficacy with practical handling requirements for professional agricultural operations.

If you are looking to maximize yield by eliminating grass competition, Backard 125 KE offers a reliable, consistent solution that stands up to the challenges of modern intensive farming.
