Drotik

Broad-spectrum weed control in cereals

"Drotik", produced by ZAO "Shelkovo Agrokhim", is a trusted systemic herbicide designed for effective post-emergence control of broad-leaved weeds in cereal crops and corn. Based on the 2,4-D active ingredient, it serves as a reliable solution for farmers aiming to optimize crop yields by eliminating competition for nutrients and moisture.

Field Application and Strategy

The primary use of "Drotik" is as a selective insurance herbicide applied after crop emergence. Its systemic action ensures that the active component is absorbed by the weed foliage and translocated through the plant, causing rapid growth inhibition and eventual death.

• Weed Target List: Highly effective against common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album), redroot pigweed, field mustard, wild radish, shepherd's purse, cleavers, and black bindweed.
• Application Guidelines: The product is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate. With a application rate of 0.6–0.8 L/ha, it provides a cost-effective strategy for crop protection.
• Operational Limits: Only one application per season is permitted, making timing critical to hit the target weeds during their most vulnerable growth stages.

The emulsifiable concentrate formulation ensures easy tank mixing and high stability in the field. Due to its classification as a 2nd hazard class product, strict adherence to safety protocols and the use of personal protective equipment are mandatory during application. "Drotik" performs best when applied under favorable weather conditions, ensuring sufficient sap flow for the systemic herbicide to reach all parts of the target weeds.
