Bantene, RK (bensulfuron-methyl, 480 g/l)

Professional Weed Control for Soybeans and Peas

Banten, SL (bentazone, 480 g/L), manufactured by Hangzhou Ruijiang Chemical Co., Ltd., is a selective contact herbicide specifically formulated for the protection of legumes. As a member of the benzothiadiazole class, bentazone has established itself as an essential tool for post-emergence weed management, providing a reliable defense against a broad spectrum of problematic broad-leaved weeds.

Key Benefits and Mechanism

Banten operates primarily through foliar contact, effectively inhibiting photosynthesis in target weeds. Because it is a selective herbicide, it leaves the soybean and pea crops unharmed when applied according to the recommended rates of 1.5–3 L/ha. This makes it an ideal solution for farmers looking to eliminate competition during the early growth stages of their crops.

• Target Weeds: Highly effective against common species such as lamb's quarters, redroot pigweed, field mustard, shepherd's purse, chickweed, cleavers, scentless mayweed, and purslane.
• Application Strategy: Designed for a single application, this post-emergence treatment is both efficient and cost-effective.
• Formulation: As a Soluble Concentrate (SL), the product is easy to mix and apply in various field conditions.

Market Reputation and Performance

Hangzhou Ruijiang Chemical Co., Ltd. is known for producing high-quality agrochemicals that offer balanced results. Banten has gained a solid reputation among agricultural professionals for its consistency and ease of use. Classified as a low-hazard chemical (Class 3), it integrates well into standard crop protection programs. By targeting weeds when they are in the active growth phase (typically 2–4 true leaves), producers can achieve maximum selectivity and yield protection. Banten remains a preferred "insurance" herbicide for soybean and pea fields where broad-leaved weed pressure poses a significant threat to harvest potential.
