Lontrel Grand

Precision Weed Control: The Austrian Standard

In the competitive landscape of plant protection, "Lontrel Grand" remains a gold standard for managing hard-to-control weeds. Manufactured in Austria by Kvizda on behalf of Dow AgroSciences, this herbicide is engineered for precision, focusing on the complete eradication of perennial and annual dicotyledonous weeds. With clopyralid as its active ingredient, it offers a systemic approach that travels deep into the root system, preventing regrowth and securing the crop's developmental window.

Why Growers Trust this Formulation

The product's water-dispersible granule (WDG) formulation is a key technological advantage. It ensures rapid dissolution, eliminates clogging in sprayers, and provides consistent concentration across the entire field. As a post-emergence (insurance) herbicide, it gives farmers the flexibility to assess weed pressure and apply the product exactly when it is most effective, turning the tide in favor of the crop.

• Target Spectrum: Unrivaled performance against Cirsium arvense (Canada thistle), Ambrosia artemisiifolia (common ragweed), Matricaria inodora (scentless mayweed), and Polygonum species.
• Versatile Crop Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of crops including winter oilseed rape, flax, sugar beet, onion, garlic, maize, and small grain cereals.
• Systemic Efficacy: Once applied to the leaves, the active ingredient translocates throughout the plant, effectively killing the weeds from the roots up.

Operational Excellence and Safety

Adhering to a Class 3 hazard profile, Lontrel Grand is designed for reliable and manageable field operations. With a recommended application rate of 0.1–0.16 kg/ha and a limit of one application per season, it offers a cost-effective solution that balances agricultural productivity with environmental responsibility. The Austrian craftsmanship of Kvizda ensures that every granule maintains the chemical stability required for high-performance agriculture.

For growers looking to eliminate competition from invasive weed species, this herbicide represents a strategic investment. It clears the field effectively, allowing the primary crop to optimize its uptake of nutrients and sunlight without the stress of weed competition, ultimately leading to higher yields and better harvest quality.
