Bypass

Effective early-stage weed control

Field experience with "Bypass" from F.Superus Co., Ltd. demonstrates that quality soil preparation is the key to success when using pre-emergence herbicides.

Crop application highlights

"Bypass" is a selective systemic herbicide. It targets weeds without hindering the growth of the primary crop, provided it is applied before seedling emergence. It is highly effective in crops such as potatoes, carrots, coriander, peas, and sunflower. It reliably manages common weed species including lambsquarters, pigweed, ragweed, black nightshade, and foxtail.

Practical operational insights

• Soil control: Since it acts as a pre-emergence barrier, application on moist soil is essential. It is a robust systemic tool that secures the field for an extended period.
• Safety and regulations: Classified under hazard category 3, which necessitates standard safety measures during handling. Only one application per season is permitted.
• Pre-harvest interval: Depending on the crop type, the pre-harvest interval can be up to 90 days, so proper planning of agrotechnical operations is required.

The product is user-friendly; the suspension concentrate mixes well in tank mixtures and does not clog sprayer nozzles, which saves valuable time during the busy sowing season. It is an ideal choice for those who prioritize preventative weed management over post-emergence corrective spraying.
