Cassius

Effective Weed Control for Maize Crops

In modern intensive farming, protecting maize from competing flora is a key factor in ensuring high yields. The herbicide "Cassius" by "Shchelkovo Agrohim-KZ" offers a reliable solution for post-emergence crop protection, helping farmers in Kazakhstan minimize the impact of weeds on crop development.

Technological Advantages

The product is based on rimsulfuron, an active ingredient belonging to the sulfonylurea class. Its systemic mode of action allows the herbicide to rapidly penetrate the plant through the leaf surface and block cell division in weeds. Within a few hours after application, weed growth ceases, eliminating competition with maize for moisture and nutrients.

• Mode of Action: A selective systemic herbicide that does not inhibit maize growth when application guidelines are followed.
• Application Scope: Effectively controls a wide range of annual and perennial grasses, as well as many broad-leaved weeds.
• Formulation: Water-dispersible granules, ensuring ease of mixing and eliminating dust during preparation.

"Cassius" is designed as a "rescue" herbicide, making it ideal for application during the 1–7 leaf stage of maize. A significant advantage is its favorable crop rotation profile, providing agronomists with high flexibility. When applied at the recommended rate (2.0–3.0 l/ha), the product demonstrates high biological efficacy and stability, even under challenging weather conditions.
