Bindstrike ES, EC

Precision Weed Control for Cereals and Corn

When fields are threatened by bindweed or cleavers, you need a herbicide that acts fast and sticks. Bindstrike EC has become a staple in our crop protection program. As a selective post-emergence herbicide, it offers the systematic control required to deal with deep-rooted broadleaf weeds without compromising crop safety.

Field Performance

We apply Bindstrike EC on winter wheat, barley, and corn. Its primary strength lies in its ability to target tough species like field bindweed, creeping thistle, and bedstraw. Because it is a foliage-applied (insurance) herbicide, we make sure to hit the fields when weeds are actively growing; this ensures the fluroxypyr active ingredient moves rapidly through the vascular system of the weed, causing systemic collapse.

Practical Insights

• Systemic Action: Unlike contact killers, this product travels through the plant tissues, ensuring the root systems of aggressive weeds are effectively suppressed.
• Mixing and Application: The emulsifiable concentrate formulation mixes easily in the spray tank. We have found it stable with no clogging issues, provided the standard mixing protocols are followed.
• Operational Ease: With a hazard class 3, handling is standard. It fits seamlessly into a modern spraying schedule without requiring specialized or excessive safety measures.

For us, the key advantage is the selectivity. We can treat wheat, barley, or corn without worrying about phytotoxicity, allowing us to manage large areas efficiently. When facing a heavy infestation of weeds like chickweed or purple dead-nettle, Bindstrike EC provides the peace of mind that the job will be done right in a single pass.
