GOAL 2E, KE

Why do professional farms keep choosing GOAL 2E, EC?

When it comes to controlling broadleaf weeds in onion or sunflower fields, agronomists often turn to this time-tested classic. GOAL 2E, EC is a selective contact herbicide based on oxyfluorfen that acts as a powerful shield. Unlike systemic products, it does not require deep penetration into plant tissues; instead, it creates a protective screen on the soil surface, neutralizing weeds the moment they germinate.

Key advantages: Standing out from the competition

• Selective Power: The primary advantage is its selectivity. Crops like onions or apple trees possess a natural resistance to oxyfluorfen, allowing for field applications without the risk of stunting crop development.
• Soil Action: By forming a thin protective film on the soil, the herbicide suppresses subsequent flushes of weeds for an extended period. This is critical for crops that take time to establish active growth.
• French Quality: Manufactured at the Dow AgroSciences S.A.S. facility in Drusenheim, the product ensures the chemical stability of the emulsifiable concentrate, which is essential for consistent coverage during spraying.

Operational considerations

GOAL 2E, EC demands precision. As a contact herbicide, it is most effective against young seedlings (at the cotyledon stage). If weeds are overgrown, efficacy drops significantly, as the active ingredient does not translocate within the plant systemically. Furthermore, it is vital to avoid spraying during periods of extreme crop stress or severe temperatures, as this can potentially compromise the selectivity of the herbicide.

This product is an optimal choice for commercial operations focusing on intensive vegetable farming and sunflower production, where ensuring a clean field at the start of the season without damaging the primary crop is paramount.
