Mikado

Double-Action Weed Control for Winter Rapeseed

When it comes to controlling stubborn weeds in winter rapeseed fields, growers often face resistance issues with specific species. “Mikado” by Nertus is a professional solution built on the synergy of picloram and clopyralid. Unlike monocomponent products, this herbicide strikes multiple critical points of weed metabolism simultaneously.

Key Advantages

• Selective Control: As a selective herbicide, Mikado fits perfectly into rapeseed protection protocols without suppressing the crop itself.
• Systemic Action: The product is absorbed through leaves and translocates throughout the entire plant, effectively destroying the root systems of “difficult” targets like bindweed and Canada thistle.
• Broad Spectrum: It efficiently clears fields of common lambsquarters, cleavers, and scentless mayweed, which often overgrow and compete for vital light and moisture.

Practical Application Insights

Mikado is a post-emergence herbicide, requiring precise timing to match the weed growth stage. With a dosage of up to 0.5 L/ha, it offers cost-efficiency while maintaining high performance. A notable feature is its short pre-harvest interval—only 1 day—making it a flexible tool in intensive farming operations.

Who is this product for?

This herbicide is the choice for operations focused on high-yield rapeseed production. It is indispensable when fields are dominated by perennial root-sucker weeds that standard preparations fail to eliminate. Mikado requires a professional approach to sprayer calibration to ensure uniform coverage, as it acts primarily through the plant's vegetative organs.
