Classic Forte

Why «Classic Forte» is the industry standard for soybean fields

Walking through a soybean field and seeing a blanket of ragweed or velvetleaf is a nightmare for any grower. «Classic Forte» by DuPont International Operations Sarl is the reliable answer to weed pressure. As an agronomist, I value this herbicide for its predictability: the systemic action targets the core of the weed, ensuring total control without second chances.

Field Efficiency and Operational Benefits

The combination of Thifensulfuron-methyl and Chlorimuron-ethyl creates a powerful tandem. It is highly selective: the soybeans tolerate it without growth checks, while weeds like common lambsquarters, pigweed, mustard, and shepherd's purse are eliminated within just a few days of application.

• Application rate: up to 25 grams per hectare. This makes logistics easy and cost-effective — no need to transport heavy volumes of chemicals.
• Application type: post-emergence herbicide. Applied directly to the leaves once weeds have emerged and entered active growth stages.
• Formulation: water-dispersible granules. They dissolve quickly without clogging sprayer nozzles, which is essential when covering large acreages efficiently.

Important: The manufacturer allows only one treatment per season. This requires precise timing relative to the soybean growth stage to maximize impact. The product falls under hazard class 3, so standard safety precautions for sulfonylurea handling must be followed strictly.

Unlike budget-friendly alternatives, «Classic Forte» delivers consistent results even when weather conditions are not ideal. For those who prioritize performance and want to minimize the number of passes over the field, this is an indispensable solution for modern soybean management.
