Systemic herbicide for winter rapeseed protection

Establishing a clean field for winter rapeseed is a fundamental requirement for achieving high yields. Weed competition during the early stages of growth can significantly stunt crop development and diminish final harvest volumes. The "GELEON W.S.C." (Water Soluble Concentrate) by Jinan Kesaijiong Chemical Co. Ltd., China, offers a specialized solution to combat stubborn broad-leaved weeds through targeted systemic action.

Technology and selectivity

The core of the product's effectiveness lies in the synergistic combination of Picloram and Clopyralid. As a selective herbicide, it is designed to be applied post-emergence. Once absorbed by the foliage, the active ingredients move systemically throughout the plant, effectively reaching the roots of deep-rooted weeds. This mechanism ensures that rapeseed remains unharmed while competing weeds are eliminated.

Target weed profile

"GELEON W.S.C." is particularly effective against species that are often resistant to standard treatments, making it a valuable tool in integrated crop management. The target list includes:

• Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia);
• Perennial sowthistle (Sonchus arvensis);
• Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus);
• Common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album);
• Scentless mayweed and various Polygonum species.

Application guidelines

To ensure optimal efficacy, the product should be applied as a leaf treatment within the recommended dosage range of 0.3–0.5 L/ha. Provided by Agrochimcontract, the herbicide is formulated for high solubility and ease of mixing. Farmers should adhere to the limitation of one application per season. Given its Classification 2 hazard level, operators are advised to follow standard safety protocols during handling and application to ensure environmental safety and effectiveness.
