Bernar, RK (bentazon, 480 g/l)

High Selectivity for Broadleaf Weed Control

The herbicide "Bernard, SL" is based on a time-tested active ingredient — bentazone (480 g/L). Unlike systemic products that work through the soil, this product acts as a powerful contact herbicide. Its objective is not to accumulate, but to rapidly block photosynthesis in young weed leaves, making it an indispensable tool for protecting soybean, cereal, and pulse crops.

Key Benefits

• Selective Action: Ideal for soybeans and cereals, where eliminating competitors without damaging the crop is critical.
• Targeting Tough Weeds: Effectively controls a wide spectrum of weeds, including redroot pigweed, common lambsquarter, wild mustard, wild radish, shepherd's purse, and catchweed bedstraw.
• Speed: Due to its contact-based nature, visible results appear within the first few days after application.

Application Insights

"Bernard" requires careful timing. As a post-emergence herbicide, it is vital to target the stage of active weed growth (from 2 to 4 true leaves). This is when bentazone efficiency is at its peak. The application rate ranges from 1.5 to 3 L/ha depending on weed infestation density. In cases of high weed pressure, a second treatment is permitted (up to 2 applications per season).

The production of this preparation combines the expertise of Hefei Xingyu Chemical Co., Ltd. (China), Unicity Enterprises L.P. (UK), and the facilities of the Bila Tserkva Plant of Preparative Forms (Ukraine), ensuring strict quality control standards during both synthesis and formulation.
