Cassius, v.r.p., (Rimsulfuron, 250 g/kg)

It dissolves quickly, which saves time during the busy spraying season and keeps the equipment clean.

Field Performance and Application

This is a systemic herbicide, meaning it acts internally. Once applied to the leaves, the Rimsulfuron (250 g/kg) starts working immediately to stop weed competition for water and nutrients. It is particularly effective against couch grass, common lambsquarters, pigweed, shepherd's purse, and ragweed.

• Application Rate: 0.04–0.05 kg/ha is sufficient to clean the field effectively.
• Flexibility: Being a post-emergence selective herbicide, it fits perfectly into the corn protection program.
• Safety and Maintenance: With a hazard class of 3, standard safety measures are mandatory but sufficient. The sprayer maintenance is straightforward, as the formulation is stable and doesn't clog nozzles.

Cassius is designed for a single application per season. When applied at the right time, it provides long-term control, allowing the crop to develop without being smothered by aggressive grasses or broadleaf weeds. The key to success here, as with many systemic products, is the uniformity of the spray coverage and timing it while the weeds are in their active growth phase.

Bottom Line for Operators
