Lontrel 300, RC, herbicide

A Gold Standard in Perennial Weed Control

Within an agronomist's arsenal, clopyralid-based formulations hold a special place. Lontrel 300, SL from Corteva is a classic of systemic protection that has proven its efficacy in fields for decades. Developed using the active ingredient clopyralid, this herbicide has become a true savior for crops suffering from aggressive broadleaf weeds.

Why Farmers Choose Lontrel 300

The primary strength of the product lies in its selectivity. This is a selective post-emergence herbicide that works with surgical precision: it eliminates stubborn weeds such as sow thistle, ragweed, or coltsfoot without harming the target crop. Due to its systemic mode of action, the product quickly penetrates the leaves and travels to the root system, essentially "burning out" the weed from within. This is critical for controlling deep-rooted plants that are difficult to eradicate mechanically.

Application Spectrum and Key Features

Lontrel 300, SL is characterized by a wide application window. It is used on field crops (rapeseed, cereals) as well as more specific crops, including onions, beets, cabbage, and even strawberries or lavender. This versatility makes it the "number one" tool for solving issues with the most resistant weed species:

• Canada thistle and common ragweed;
• Cornflower and field bindweed;
• Scentless mayweed and common fumitory.

It is important to remember that for optimal results, a single application per season is sufficient. The dosage ranges from 0.1 to 1.7 L/ha, allowing for a flexible approach based on weed density. As a water-soluble concentrate, the formulation is easily compatible with tank mixes, simplifying operations during the peak of the season.

Corteva, as a manufacturer, ensures strict quality control and reliability for this plant protection product, which falls under the 3rd hazard class. Lontrel 300 does not just suppress weed growth; it ensures the cleanliness of crops during critical vegetation stages, which directly translates into higher yields.
