Post-emergence broad-spectrum herbicide for protection of cereal grasses and corn
Formulation: water-soluble granules
Active ingredient: dicamba dimethylamine salt (970 g/kg)
MANUFACTURER: "Garda Chemicals Limited", United Kingdom
PACKAGING: 1 kg bag
ADVANTAGES OF THE PREPARATION:
Highly effective against root-feeding weeds such as docks, burdock, ragwort, bindweed
Unlike 2,4-D and some other herbicides, dicamba rapidly penetrates through the plant's root collar and has the ability to reach the most remote parts of the root system, resulting in complete weed kill;
Water-soluble granule formulation prevents loss of product quality during storage
MECHANISM OF ACTION:
The active ingredient of the preparation — dicamba — penetrates into plants, primarily through leaves and stems, and partially — through roots. The active ingredient is distributed throughout the entire plant, moving in both directions: from the roots upward to the growth point, and from the leaves downward to the roots.
APPLICATION ON cereal crops:
Apply COMPASS during the active growth stage of the crop at temperatures of 10… 25 °C.
Application of COMPASS in tank mixes significantly broadens the spectrum of activity and increases economic efficiency:
0.7 l/ha 2,4-D (685 g a.i.) + 0.1 kg/ha COMPASS
10 g/ha tribenuron-methyl (750 g a.i.) + 0.1 kg/ha COMPASS
APPLICATION ON corn:
Apply COMPASS post-emergence in the 3-5 leaf stage of the crop (up to 20 cm height of corn)
To control annual and biennial weeds, apply at a rate of 0.2–0.3 kg/ha during the 2–4 leaf stage of weeds
To control perennial weeds, apply 0.35–0.40 kg/ha during the most sensitive growth stages for weeds: against field bindweed (Convolvulus) and black bindweed (Calystegia) — when plants have rosettes not less than 15 cm; against purple thistle (Cirsium) — during the 4–6 leaf stage
Excellent effect when applied in tank mixtures, allowing complete control of both dicotyledonous and grassy weeds:
COMPASS 0.12–0.3 kg/ha + rimsulfuron 30–40 g/ha (250 g p.a.) + adhesion agent

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS:
The highest efficiency of dicamba is observed when applied in mixtures with herbicides such as 2,4-D, as well as sulfonylurea-based products (e.g., Accurate)
In mixtures with other herbicides, dicamba partially broadens the spectrum of activity of the products, but significantly increases the speed of herbicidal action and allows for expanding the application of the products
Dicamba has some degree of soil herbicide properties
