Total weed control for your fields

When you need a clean start before planting, the systemic herbicide 'Olimp' is the go-to solution for clearing fields of unwanted vegetation. Based on glyphosate, this non-selective herbicide is my standard choice for preparing fields for crops like winter rapeseed, sunflowers, or vegetables. Its systemic nature means it doesn't just burn the leaves; it travels deep into the root system, which is crucial for tackling persistent perennial weeds.

Practical application and field performance

In terms of operations, I find the water-soluble concentrate easy to work with. It mixes cleanly without clogging the sprayer nozzles, which saves valuable time during the busy spring or autumn season. When used as a desiccant, it provides uniform drying of the crop, making the harvesting process much smoother, especially in cases of uneven maturation.

• Target spectrum: highly effective against both annual and perennial monocot and dicot weeds.
• Application flexibility: works best during active weed growth to ensure the glyphosate reaches the roots.
• Soil safety: since the product has no soil activity, you can proceed with planting or sowing as soon as the weed biomass is properly processed.

Regarding maintenance and safety, it falls under the Class 3 hazard category, requiring standard personal protective equipment. The key to success here is strict adherence to the dosage and water volume. If you apply it on dormant or stressed weeds, the translocation of the active ingredient slows down, reducing effectiveness. When used correctly at the right growth stage, 'Olimp' provides a thorough cleanup, significantly reducing the need for repeat treatments and ensuring the field is ready for the crop.
