Magistr, WG, herbicide

Pre-emergence protection for soybean and sunflower crops

«Magistr, WG» by «Khimagromarketing» is a specialized soil-applied herbicide based on flumioxazin. It is engineered for growers who prioritize clean fields from the very beginning of the season. By creating a protective barrier in the upper soil layer, this product prevents the germination and development of key broadleaf weed species in soybean and sunflower fields.

Targeting the toughest weeds

Unlike post-emergence solutions, «Magistr» acts preventively. It is particularly effective against highly competitive weeds that can easily overwhelm young crops. Its spectrum includes:

• Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia).
• Common lambsquarters and redroot pigweed.
• Field mustard, shepherd's purse, and common chickweed.

Application and Technical Performance

The water-dispersible granule (WG) formulation allows for seamless mixing and application. It is a selective herbicide, meaning that when applied according to label rates, it targets weeds while remaining safe for the crops. This selectivity is a key advantage for farmers looking to protect their yield potential during the critical early growth stages.

Key Benefits:

• High selectivity: ensures no crop stunting when used correctly.
• Economic efficiency: a single application provides a robust defense against the first flush of weeds.
• Proactive strategy: removes the need for early-stage chemical competition for moisture and nutrients.

Best Practices: For optimal results, soil preparation is essential; the seedbed should be fine-textured and free of large clods. Since «Magistr» is a soil-active herbicide, a baseline level of soil moisture is required to activate the active ingredient. With an application rate of 0.5–1.0 L/ha, it represents a precise and effective solution for intensive crop management, allowing your crops to establish a strong root system without the stress of weed pressure.
