Professional weed management with Kaput Extra

For large-scale farming, tackling deep-rooted weeds requires a systemic approach. Kaput Extra, a herbicide developed by the German manufacturer Stefes, serves as a high-performance solution for total vegetation control. By utilizing glyphosate, this herbicide ensures that weeds are eradicated from the roots up, making it a cornerstone for field preparation and harvest management.

Operational scenarios in the field

Agronomists integrate Kaput Extra into their crop protection cycles primarily for its versatility as both a systemic herbicide and an effective desiccant.

• Perennial weed eradication: Whether dealing with couch grass or thistles, the systemic action ensures the active ingredient is translocated through the plant to the rhizomes, preventing regrowth.
• Harvest preparation: Used as a desiccant, it promotes uniform ripening of winter wheat, allowing for more efficient combine operations and reducing the moisture content of the harvested grain.
• Precise application: With a recommended rate of 2.0 to 3.0 liters per hectare, farmers can tailor their input based on the weed pressure, maximizing economic efficiency.

Technical efficiency and application tips

As a water-soluble concentrate, Kaput Extra is easy to prepare for spraying. Because it is a non-selective herbicide, its application must be precise—targeted specifically at the weeds during the post-emergence stage. It is an ideal choice for fields requiring a clean slate before winter wheat seeding. By strictly following the single-application limit per season and maintaining standard safety protocols for Class 3 substances, users can achieve a complete cleaning of the field, effectively managing the seed bank for the following seasons.
