Professional Weed Control in Corn with «Batu»

For modern corn production, maintaining a weed-free field during early development is essential for maximizing yield potential. The «Batu» herbicide from Nertus is a trusted solution for agricultural professionals who need a reliable insurance herbicide. By utilizing a synergy of two sulfonylurea active ingredients—rimsulfuron and thifensulfuron-methyl—it offers a systemic approach to eradicating competitive weeds without harming the crop.

Target Weeds and Application Scenarios

«Batu» is specifically designed for post-emergence application in corn crops. Growers rely on its efficiency against a broad range of troublesome weeds:

• Grassy weeds: highly effective against creeping bentgrass (couch grass) and green foxtail.
• Broadleaf weeds: eliminates Canada thistle, common lambsquarters, redroot pigweed, shepherd's purse, common chickweed, and common ragweed.

As a selective systemic herbicide, «Batu» is engineered for precise action, focusing energy on weed suppression while ensuring the safety of the corn plants. Its flexibility in timing makes it an essential tool for farm management, especially given the short pre-harvest interval of just 1 day for the last application.

Practical Field Application

The product comes in a water-dispersible granule formulation, which simplifies mixing and handling in the field. With a maximum application rate of 25 grams per hectare, it represents a cost-effective solution for large-scale farming operations. To ensure the best results, it is recommended to apply the herbicide as a foliar treatment during the active growth phase of the weeds, which maximizes the systemic uptake of the active ingredients.
