Fusilade Forte 150 EC

Effective grass weed control in your fields

When perennial and annual grass weeds start competing with my crops, I rely on Fusilade Forte 150 EC by Syngenta. As an agronomist, I need a tool that works systematically and selectively without stressing the main crop. This herbicide is my go-to choice for fields of onions, carrots, beets, or rapeseed.

Application and Field Performance

The product comes as an emulsion concentrate, which makes it easy to handle and mix in the spray tank. Being a post-emergence selective herbicide, it allows for targeted application. Depending on the weed pressure (like couch grass, foxtail, or wild oats), I adjust the dosage between 0.5 and 2.0 L/ha. You can perform up to 2 treatments per season, which is usually enough to keep the field clean until harvest.

Key advantages for the operator:

• High Selectivity. It effectively kills weeds while being gentle on sensitive crops like cabbage or cucumbers.
• Systemic Action. Fluazifop-P-butyl is rapidly absorbed by the leaves and travels to the growing points, ensuring the plant dies down to the root.
• Short Pre-harvest Interval. With a 1-day waiting period, it provides great flexibility for scheduling work near the harvest date.

Operating with Fusilade Forte is straightforward. It’s a reliable Swiss-engineered product that delivers consistent results. When you follow the guidelines and apply it at the right growth stage of the weeds, you get a clean field with no signs of phytotoxicity. It is a solid investment for protecting your yield potential.
