Enot 480 SL

Effective crop protection: why growers choose «Enot 480 SL»

In the post-emergence herbicide segment, the choice of product often boils down to finding the right balance between efficacy against a wide range of broadleaf weeds and selectivity toward the crop. Bentazone, the active ingredient in «Enot 480 SL» by the Belgian company Globachem, has remained the benchmark solution for legumes for decades. It is a contact herbicide that works by inhibiting photosynthesis in weeds, making it indispensable for soybean and pea protection systems.

Key advantages and mechanism of action

The main strength of «Enot» is its selectivity. The preparation acts on weeds through the foliage without inhibiting the crop itself. This allows for treatment during phases when weeds are most vulnerable but have not yet caused significant damage to the crops. Unlike soil-applied herbicides, the efficacy of this product does not depend on soil moisture at the time of application.

• Control of problematic weeds: Highly effective against pigweed (Amaranthus), wild mustard, ragweed, shepherd's purse, cleavers, and black nightshade.
• High selectivity: Safe for soybeans and peas when application regulations are followed.
• European reliability: Globachem (Belgium) ensures consistent formulation quality, which is critical for contact herbicide performance.

Field application guidelines

«Enot 480 SL» requires high-quality coverage of the leaf surface. Since it is a contact herbicide, it is essential to use a sufficient volume of water and the correct nozzles to ensure even droplet distribution across the weeds. The application rate varies from 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha depending on the weed infestation density and species composition. Please note: the maximum number of treatments per season is one. This makes protection planning a crucial step: it is important to choose a weather window with optimal temperatures and weed growth stages to achieve maximum results.

Who is this product for? Primarily for farms specializing in intensive soybean and pea cultivation, where field cleanliness during early growth stages is critical to ensure the crop has a competitive advantage and reaches its full yield potential.
