Kizatop

Advanced grass weed control for vegetable and industrial crops

«KizaTop» is a highly selective systemic herbicide designed to protect sensitive crops from both annual and perennial grass weeds. Featuring quizalofop-P-ethyl as its active ingredient, it belongs to the aryloxyphenoxypropionate group, known for its rapid systemic action and efficiency in moving through the plant to target growth points.

Practical use in farming operations

Farmers utilize KizaTop as a post-emergence tool in intensive cultivation systems where manual weeding is impractical. Its primary applications include:

• Vegetables and root crops: Onion, carrot, fodder beet.
• Industrial crops: Soybeans, flax, potatoes.

The product effectively manages difficult infestations of quackgrass (couch grass), common wild oat, green and yellow foxtail, barnyard grass, and silky bentgrass. Because it is a selective herbicide, it allows for targeted application without damaging the main crop, making it ideal for maintaining yield potential during the growing season.

Application guidelines and characteristics

As a systemic leaf-applied herbicide, KizaTop must be applied when weeds are actively growing to ensure translocation to the root system. The dosage ranges from 0.4 to 1.2 L/ha depending on the weed spectrum and density. Key operational parameters include:

• Formulation: Aqueous suspension concentrate.
• Application frequency: Maximum of 1 application per season.
• Pre-harvest interval: 30 days.
• Safety: Hazard Class 2 (requires standard handling precautions).

The product is a result of collaboration between Schirm GmbH (Germany) and Belchim Crop Protection N.V. (Belgium), ensuring high formulation quality and reliability. By stopping weed growth at a cellular level, KizaTop serves as a critical component of integrated weed management, allowing farmers to optimize field resources and secure crop productivity.
