Ekran Total ES

Operating with «Ekran Total ES»: Field Experience

When dealing with heavy weed infestation, there's no room for second-guessing. The «Ekran Total ES» herbicide, produced by Klov, serves as a versatile tool for field management. As a systemic product, it acts not only as a post-emergence herbicide but also as a desiccant, which is a significant advantage during the harvesting phase. In the field, its performance is consistent; following the application rate of 2.0–3.0 liters per hectare is sufficient to achieve the desired control over broadleaf weeds like common lambsquarters and green foxtail.

Technical Performance and Application

What makes this product reliable for an operator is its dual-action formula. By containing propiconazole, tebuconazole, and acetochlor, it addresses both weed competition and fungal pathogens such as Fusarium head blight, septoria, and powdery mildew. Here are the key technical aspects:

• Application Method: As a foliar insurance herbicide, it is easy to integrate into the standard spray schedule. The emulsifiable concentrate formulation mixes well and does not cause nozzle clogging.
• Crop Versatility: It is suitable for winter wheat, rye, winter barley, and corn, providing a flexible solution across different fields.
• Harvest Efficiency: The ability to use it as a desiccant allows for better harvest planning, with a minimal waiting period of just 1 day.

Since the product is rated in the 3rd hazard class, standard safety protocols are required for the operator. Given that only one application is permitted, precise timing is essential to target the weeds at their most vulnerable growth stage. Overall, this herbicide is a robust choice for those who value time efficiency and broad-spectrum activity in a single product.
