Calypso 480

Protecting your crop from the start

Soil-applied herbicides are the foundation of a successful crop, and «Calif 480» by Agan Chemical Manufacturers Ltd. (part of the Makhteshim-Agan Industries group) is a staple for growers who prioritize early-stage weed management. Developed in Israel, this systemic herbicide offers a professional-grade solution to keep fields clean before the crop even emerges.

Field performance and application

Working with «Calif 480» requires attention to soil moisture and seedbed preparation, as is typical for high-quality soil-applied products. Once applied, it forms a selective barrier that effectively suppresses problematic weeds like green foxtail and common lambsquarters without harming the primary crop. It is particularly effective on potato, soybean, and winter rapeseed fields, where early weed competition can significantly reduce yield potential.

Why choose «Calif 480»?

• Efficiency: With a low application rate of up to 25 grams per hectare, it simplifies storage and logistics during the busy season.
• Systemic Control: Because it acts selectively, the crop maintains its vitality while the weeds are eliminated at their most vulnerable stage.
• Operational Ease: The emulsifiable concentrate formulation mixes well and allows for smooth sprayer operation, ensuring uniform coverage.

From an operator's perspective, the convenience of a single application strategy is a major advantage. It minimizes the need for follow-up passes, allowing equipment to be used elsewhere. While it carries a Class 3 hazard rating, standard safety protocols are sufficient for handling and mixing. «Calif 480» represents the precision of Israeli agro-technology, providing growers with the peace of mind that their fields start the season without the burden of weed pressure.
