Butizan Star

Professional weed control in winter rapeseed

Achieving a high yield in winter rapeseed begins with effective early-season weed management. Butisan Star is a systemic herbicide widely trusted by agronomists to eliminate competition from both grass and broad-leaved weeds, including tough species like cleavers and white goosefoot. Powered by the combination of metazachlor and quinmerac, it provides the robust control required for competitive crops.

Flexible application for every field scenario

Modern farming requires adaptability. Butisan Star offers two distinct modes of application, allowing producers to adjust their strategy based on local soil moisture and weather conditions:

• Pre-emergence (Soil application): Creates a protective barrier in the soil, preventing weed germination before they emerge.
• Post-emergence (Leaf application): Acts as a reliable insurance policy, clearing established weeds early when they are most susceptible.

This dual-action capability ensures that growers are not restricted by narrow application windows, maximizing the efficiency of their field operations.
