CALIF KE

Technological Precision in Soil-Applied Weed Control

"Calif Ke" by the Israeli manufacturer Adama Agan Ltd. provides a high-performance solution for pre-emergence weed management in winter oilseed rape and soybean crops. The core of the product is the active ingredient clomazone, combined with specific surfactants that ensure the stability of the tank mix and uniform dispersion within the soil profile.

Systemic Mode of Action

This herbicide operates as a selective, systemic soil-applied agent. The technical pivot of its efficacy lies in inhibiting chlorophyll and carotenoid biosynthesis in susceptible weed species. Through systemic uptake via roots and shoots, "Calif Ke" halts the development of detrimental plants at the very onset of germination, providing crucial protection for the crop during its most vulnerable stage.

Spectrum of Control and Technical Specifications

The technical profile of the product confirms its high selectivity and efficacy against a wide range of broad-leaved weeds:

• Common lambsquarters, shepherd's purse, common chickweed;
• Catchweed bedstraw, scentless chamomile, purple dead-nettle, field pansy.

The suspension concentrate formulation ensures formulation consistency even across varying storage conditions. The application rate is 0.15–0.2 L/ha, strictly limited to one application per season. Classified as Hazard Class 3, the product requires standard handling precautions, striking an optimal balance between potent performance and environmental responsibility.

The Strategic Value of "Calif Ke"

Applying this soil-applied herbicide prior to crop emergence eliminates weed competition during the vital generative organ formation stage. Suppressing weeds in the first weeks of soybean or rapeseed growth allows the crop to fully realize its yield potential, as this is when weeds exert the most pressure by competing for soil moisture and nutrients.
