Milonga, SE, herbicide

Technical capacity of "Milonga, SE": synergy of active ingredients

The efficiency of row crop protection — soybean, corn, sunflower, and sorghum — largely depends on the ability of "Milonga, SE" to maintain a "clean field" in the initial stages of development. The herbicide is based on a combination of two components: terbuthylazine (triazine group) and S-metolachlor (chloroacetamide). This combination turns the product into a powerful soil-applied tool for controlling a wide spectrum of annual dicotyledonous and grass weeds.

Mechanism of action and selectivity

S-metolachlor in "Milonga" acts as a germination inhibitor, affecting cell division and protein synthesis processes in weeds before they emerge above the soil surface. Terbuthylazine, in turn, blocks photosynthesis, acting as a reliable barrier for broad-leaved species. This systemic "dual-layer" protection allows the crop to pass through critical growth phases without competition for moisture and nutrients.

Application and Dosage

The product belongs to the class of pre-emergence selective herbicides. The suspension concentrate formulation ensures optimal working solution stability and uniform distribution across the soil surface. Key application nuances:

• Application rate: from 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha for standard conditions, up to 3.0 L/ha for heavy weed pressure or heavy soils.
• Application method: strictly pre-emergence.
• Number of treatments: single application per season to establish a protective barrier.

Hazard class 3 allows for field operations with standard safety measures. It is important to note that "Milonga" functions as a selective soil barrier, so soil preparation is critical: the absence of large clods and sufficient soil moisture are key factors for activating the active ingredients. When applied correctly, the product from "Avgust-Bel" minimizes phytotoxicity risks for crops while providing prolonged field protection.
