Goal 2E, CE

Why «Goal 2E» remains the benchmark for onion and sunflower protection

In the world of oxyfluorfen-based herbicides, «Goal 2E» holds the position of a gold standard. It is a contact and residual soil herbicide that does not just eliminate existing weeds, but creates a «protective shield» on the soil surface. For an agronomist, this translates into control over a wide spectrum of broadleaf weeds — from common lambsquarters to shepherd's purse — before they can cause crop damage.

Key strengths: what makes it stand out

• Selective aggression: The product works selectively. When applied correctly, it ignores the crop while relentlessly burning out weeds at the cotyledon stage.
• Protective barrier: Due to its residual soil activity, the active ingredient oxyfluorfen prevents the germination of new weed seeds for several weeks after application.
• Application flexibility: «Goal 2E» can be used pre-emergence or post-emergence (depending on the crop and growth stage), giving the agronomist room for maneuver when planning crop protection.

Specific features and limitations

It is crucial to remember: this is a contact herbicide. Its effectiveness depends directly on the quality of surface coverage. It does not move systemically through the plant's tissues, so application must be as uniform as possible. When working with onions or sunflowers, it is vital to follow the dosage rates (over 3.0 L/ha) and the crop growth stage to avoid phytotoxicity.

The product is optimal for farmers looking for a reliable tool to control problematic broadleaf weeds during early growth stages. It is the «heavy artillery» for farms with high weed pressure, where it is critical not just to knock down weeds, but to ensure long-term cleanliness of the rows.
