Belenus, KE, herbicide

Why Belenus has become a standard for sunflower protection

When it comes to pre-sowing soil preparation for sunflowers, the main challenge is protecting the field from weeds before the crop can develop enough foliage to compete. The Belenus EC herbicide by "May Group" is a precise tool designed to intercept weeds right at the germination stage.

Systemic control from day one

Unlike contact-type agents, Belenus operates systemically. The active ingredient, propisochlor, contained in this emulsifiable concentrate, penetrates weeds through primary roots and shoots, blocking cell division. This is critical for controlling annual grasses and a wide range of broad-leaved weeds.

• Uncompromising selectivity: The product is developed specifically for sunflowers, minimizing the risk of phytotoxicity to the main crop.
• Soil barrier: By creating a protective "shield" in the upper soil layer, Belenus ensures long-lasting suppression of new weed waves.
• Application flexibility: It is best applied pre-emergence, eliminating the need for additional treatments during early growth stages.

Who is this solution for?

Belenus is aimed at agronomists who prioritize profitability and field cleanliness without extra labor. If you face the problem of annual grasses crowding out sunflowers early in the season, this herbicide will be your main line of defense. The application rate (2.0–3.0 L/ha) makes it economically viable even for large-scale operations, and a single treatment per season allows for precise agro-technical planning.

It is important to remember: the hazard class 2 requires adherence to standard safety measures when handling agrochemicals. Belenus by "May Group" does not require complex tank mixes if the primary goal is classical soil control, which simplifies sprayer preparation logistics.
