Imacid Active, EV, herbicide

Why "Imacid Activ" ensures clean sunflower fields

When you're out in the sunflower fields, the biggest headache is the unpredictability of weeds. "Imacid Activ" from "Basdorf" has become a go-to tool for many agronomists precisely because of its comprehensive action. It’s one of those cases where a single canister eliminates the need to mix "cocktails" of multiple products, which saves both time and stress when calibrating the sprayer.

Efficiency in the field

The systemic action is noticeable immediately: the product quickly penetrates the leaf surface and starts working from within. It is particularly satisfying that it handles both broadleaf and grassy weeds, including perennial species that usually require "follow-up" treatments with other products. In our conditions, where weeds often emerge in waves, post-emergence application is the most reliable option.

Technical details for application

• Dosage: With a rate of 0.5–1.0 L/ha, the product delivers stable results. It’s important not to overdose, as the formulation's selectivity relies on strict adherence to the label instructions.
• Control: This is an aqueous suspension concentrate. It mixes perfectly in the spray tank and does not clog nozzles, which is critical when handling large volumes of work.
• Safety: Hazard class 3 requires standard precautions, but it is comfortable to work with—no pungent odors or overly complex requirements for protective gear.

The main tip: don't miss the optimal sunflower growth stage. This is a post-emergence herbicide, and its task is to remove competition for moisture and nutrients during the most critical stage of development. One smart treatment, and the crop closes the canopy, leaving no chance for a new wave of weeds. Over years of practice, "Basdorf" has proven they know how to create formulations that work predictably even under less-than-ideal weather conditions.
