Classic Forte

Why «Classic Forte» is a staple for soybean protection

Dealing with weeds in soybean fields is a constant struggle, especially when facing tough threats like pigweed or ragweed. I rely on «Classic Forte» by Corteva because it offers reliable, systemic control. It penetrates the leaf tissue quickly, shutting down weed growth before they can compete with the crop. For an operator, the main advantage is the flexibility of this post-emergence herbicide, which performs consistently even when field conditions are challenging.

High efficiency against a broad spectrum of weeds

The combination of thifensulfuron-methyl and chlorimuron-ethyl is designed for total control in just one pass. It handles the most difficult invaders:

• Common lambsquarters and redroot pigweed — handled effortlessly.
• Common ragweed and velvetleaf — the primary soybean enemies that are effectively suppressed.
• Cruciferous weeds (mustard, radish, shepherd's purse) and common chickweed — eradicated systematically.

Practical application and handling

As someone who spends time in the field, I appreciate the formulation — an aqueous suspension concentrate. It mixes perfectly in the tank, ensuring no nozzle clogging and smooth spraying operations, which saves valuable time during the busy season. The dosage rate of 0.5–1.0 L/ha is efficient and cost-effective. Being a highly selective herbicide, it allows the soybeans to thrive without the stress of weed competition.

Since it is a Class 3 hazard product, standard safety protocols are sufficient, but discipline is key. Remember, you are limited to only one application per season. Planning the timing is essential, as this is a powerful post-emergence tool that works best when weeds are at the susceptible growth stage. For a grower who wants clean fields and optimal yields without constant re-spraying, «Classic Forte» is a professional-grade solution that delivers every time.
