Command 48

Achieving Weed-Free Starts with «Command 48»

In modern agricultural management, controlling weeds at the emergence stage is critical for maximizing yields. «Command 48», developed by F.FMC, Jacksonville, USA, serves as a high-performance systemic herbicide designed for pre-emergence application. It acts as an invisible barrier, shielding crops during their most vulnerable phase of development.

Practical Scenarios for Field Use

Farmers utilize this selective soil herbicide to protect a wide range of high-value crops, including oilseed rape, soybeans, and various vegetables like peppers, cabbage, carrots, watermelons, and eggplants, as well as tobacco. By applying the product immediately after sowing, you set the foundation for a clean field without competition for nutrients, moisture, or sunlight.

Targeted weed control:

• Broad-leaved weeds: Common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album), common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), and cleavers (Galium aparine).
• Common field invaders: Shepherd's purse, common chickweed, Jimsonweed, and purple dead-nettle.
• Grasses: Barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli).

Application and Technical Efficiency

The product is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate, making it easy to integrate into existing spraying schedules. With an application rate of 0.15–0.25 liters per hectare, a single treatment is sufficient to maintain control throughout the critical early window. Because it acts systemically, the active ingredient clomazone is absorbed through the roots and emerging shoots, effectively halting the development of sensitive weed species while ensuring the safety of your crop.

For optimal results, ensure the soil surface is well-prepared and moisture is present to facilitate the formation of the protective chemical barrier. Since the herbicide has a Class 3 hazard rating, standard safety protocols should be followed during handling and application to ensure both crop protection and field personnel safety.
