FRAGMA Max

Efficient Weed Control: Field Experience with FRAGMA Max

When wheat or barley fields become overwhelmed by common weeds like shepherd's purse, chickweed, or ragweed, you need a solution that works without complications. FRAGMA Max is a workhorse in this category. From an operator's perspective, the system’s action is straightforward: the combination of florasulam and tribenuron-methyl ensures that broad-leaved weeds are neutralized within weeks without stressing the main crop.

Application and Performance

In terms of logistics, the dosage of 0.04–0.05 kg/ha is efficient. The water-suspension concentrate form mixes seamlessly, making it easy to manage in the sprayer tank. As a selective, systemic herbicide, it is applied post-emergence. Since it is highly selective, it works perfectly on winter and spring wheat or barley. The goal is to perform a single, precise application to clear the field until harvest time.

Operational Insights

• Ease of Use: The concentrated form is easy to measure and ensures the sprayer remains clean and clog-free.
• Reliability: It is effective even against weeds that have passed their early growth stage, providing a safety net for field operations.
• Safety: Classified as Class 3, it requires standard personal protective equipment, ensuring safe handling for the crew.

German engineering from Cheminova A/S truly shows in this product's stability. It performs reliably even in cooler temperatures, where other generic alternatives tend to underperform. For a field manager, this means confidence in crop quality and fewer repeat passes, which directly saves fuel and labor costs. It is a dependable choice for maintaining clean, high-yield fields.
