Estoron 60

Professional weed control for cereal crops and corn

«Esteron 60» by DOW AgroSciences is a high-performance systemic herbicide trusted by agricultural professionals to manage heavy weed pressure in cereal fields and corn. Utilizing 2-ethylhexyl ester of 2,4-D, this product provides rapid and reliable control of broad-leaved weeds, even in cooler temperatures where standard amine salts might struggle.

Field Application and Strategy

Practitioners utilize Esteron 60 as a crucial post-emergence tool. Its selective nature ensures that while weeds like Canada thistle and common lambsquarters are eradicated, the crop remains unharmed. The herbicide is absorbed through the leaves, moving systemically to the root system, which is essential for long-term control of perennial species.

• Targeted Action: Specifically designed for perennial and annual broad-leaved weeds.
• Crop Versatility: Perfect for winter wheat, winter barley, and corn crops.
• High Efficiency: With application rates of 0.5–1.0 l/ha, it provides a cost-effective solution for large-scale farming.
• Rapid Results: Because it is an emulsifiable concentrate, the active ingredient is quickly absorbed, showing visible results within 24 hours.

When planning your spraying schedule, aim for the active growth phase of the weeds. For cereal crops, this typically aligns with the tillering stage; for corn, the 3–5 leaf stage is optimal. Because Esteron 60 acts as a selective herbicide, it allows for targeted field management without disrupting the development of the cultivated cereal plants.

Safety and Performance

Classified as a category 2 hazard, the product requires standard safety protocols during handling and application. Its systemic mode of action makes it a reliable asset for farmers who need to clear fields quickly and prevent competitive pressure from impacting final yields. By choosing DOW AgroSciences technology, you ensure that your crop receives industry-standard protection against the most stubborn field invaders.
