GOLD STAR EXTRA

Professional Weed Control for Cereal Crops

«Gold Star Extra», manufactured by the Cherkasy-based «Agrochemical Factory», is a precise tool for professional grain producers. In modern agriculture, where timing and efficiency are paramount, this selective post-emergence herbicide serves as a critical shield for winter and spring wheat and winter barley. By combining thifensulfuron-methyl and tribenuron-methyl, the product delivers a synergistic effect, eliminating the most troublesome broad-leaved weeds before they can impact crop yield through nutrient and light competition.

Field Application Scenarios

Farmers rely on this herbicide when weed pressure threatens the crop establishment phase. Its formulation as water-dispersible granules ensures high solubility and uniform coverage during leaf application. The product is specifically designed to combat several aggressive weed species, including:

• Common lamb's-quarters and redroot pigweed.
• Shepherd's purse and common chickweed.
• Scentless mayweed, purple dead-nettle, and pale smartweed.

The application rate is highly efficient, ranging from 0.035 to 0.05 kg/ha, with only one treatment required per season. This simplifies field management and allows for more precise planning of agricultural operations. As a selective herbicide, it leaves the cereal crops unharmed while systemically targeting the metabolic processes of the weeds.

Technical Advantages for Modern Farming

Choosing a systemic herbicide like «Gold Star Extra» means opting for a deep control mechanism that blocks cell division within the weed. From an operational perspective, its post-emergence nature makes it a flexible tool, allowing for precise application once weeds become visible and active. The product fits perfectly into standard crop protection protocols, maintaining a 3rd-degree hazard class, which ensures it remains manageable under standard safety practices. For agronomists seeking high-performance results in winter wheat, spring wheat, and winter barley, this product offers an optimal balance of cost, ease of use, and biological efficacy.
