Deluge Extra 500 SC

Early-stage Weed Control: Leveraging Deluge Extra 500 SC

Establishing a successful yield for soybeans, sunflowers, or corn starts with a weed-free field. When the goal is to suppress weeds before they emerge, farmers rely on soil-applied herbicides with a long protection window. Deluge Extra 500 SC, produced by Globachem in Belgium, is a systemic herbicide designed to act as a protective shield during the most critical stage of crop germination.

Why choose this herbicide

The product combines the properties of a selective herbicide, effectively targeting a broad spectrum of annual grass and broad-leaved weeds. Its formulation, based on Terbuthylazine and S-Metolachlor, is designed to establish a persistent barrier in the topsoil layer.

• Cost-Efficiency: The requirement for a single application optimizes operational planning and reduces machinery operating costs.
• Operational Flexibility: As a pre-emergence herbicide, it provides essential protection for sensitive crop growth stages.
• Formulation: Supplied as a suspension concentrate, it ensures easy preparation of tank mixtures and high stability of the spray solution.

Practical Field Application

When planning field operations, it is crucial to adhere to the dosage requirements: 2.0 to 3.0 liters per hectare, depending on soil type and weed pressure. As a systemic product, it is absorbed by the roots and shoots of germinating weeds, arresting their development at an early stage. Its key advantage is selectivity: when applied at the recommended rates, the crop receives the necessary resources for a vigorous start without the stress of weed competition.

For maximum performance, the soil must be well-prepared—fine-tilled and adequately moist, which is a prerequisite for all soil-applied herbicides. By choosing a solution from Globachem, growers gain a predictable, high-quality tool that allows them to focus on subsequent crop management stages rather than struggling with early-season infestations.
