DUAL GOLD 960 EC

Ensuring a Clean Start for Every Crop

In farming, time is the ultimate asset. Dual Gold 960 EC has become our standard tool for managing annual grass weeds, saving us from the stress of early-season competition. When applied correctly, it creates a soil barrier that acts like an insurance policy: you spray it, incorporate it, and let it do the work during those critical weeks when crops are most vulnerable.

Field Application Insights

The systemic action of S-metolachlor is effective because it targets weeds before they emerge. We appreciate the selectivity of this herbicide: when sticking to the recommended rate of 1–1.6 l/ha, the crop remains unstressed. As a pre-emergence herbicide, timing is everything. We have learned that soil moisture is the primary driver of performance. If the soil is too dry, efficacy drops, so we time our applications to ensure adequate moisture for activation.

Practical Takeaways

• Efficiency: A single application per season covers all your needs, minimizing equipment passes.
• Versatility: We use it successfully on sunflowers, soybeans, peas, and various vegetables.
• Formulation: Being an emulsifiable concentrate, it mixes easily and doesn't clog spray nozzles when handled correctly.

Safety is a priority, and given its classification, we always follow standard PPE protocols during handling. Whether the batch comes from the Belgian, French, or Swiss manufacturing sites, the consistency remains reliable. For us, this herbicide provides peace of mind, knowing that our crops can emerge in a clean environment, free from the pressure of aggressive grasses, allowing us to focus on the rest of the season’s challenges.
