Ballerina, SE (2-ethylhexyl ester of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid

Efficient control of broad-leaved weeds in cereal crops

When fields are under pressure from cleavers, lamb's quarters, or chickweed, timely intervention is essential. The herbicide "Ballerina, SE" from ZAT "August-Bel" offers a systemic solution based on the synergy of two active ingredients: 2,4-D (in the form of an ester) and florasulam. This combination ensures rapid results even under challenging weather conditions.

Why choose this herbicide?

The primary advantage of this formula is its high speed of action. The ester form of 2,4-D penetrates weed tissues instantly, while florasulam inhibits the acetolactate synthase enzyme, effectively preventing weed regrowth. Unlike many alternatives, "Ballerina" is particularly effective against overdeveloped cleaver plants, which is crucial for maximizing yields in wheat, barley, sorghum, or corn.

Advantages and application details

• Wide crop spectrum: The product is suitable for protecting winter and spring cereals, sorghum, millet, and corn.
• Professional performance: As a selective systemic herbicide, it does not suppress the main crop when applied according to regulations (dosage 0.3–0.5 L/ha).
• Versatility: Being a post-emergence herbicide, it allows farmers to target weeds precisely when they are most vulnerable.

It is important to note that "Ballerina, SE" is classified as a Hazard Class 3 chemical, requiring standard safety precautions during handling. With a limit of one application per season, precise timing based on weed growth stages is key to achieving optimal results. This product is an excellent choice for farms looking for a reliable "surgical strike" against stubborn weeds like shepherd's purse or field pennycress.
