Pallas Extra 317

Why has Pallas Extra 317 become the field standard for weed control?

When working with winter or spring wheat, the main challenge is preventing weed competition. Experience with Pallas Extra 317 from DuPont Ukraine shows it is a systemic herbicide that effectively handles the most problematic weeds, from wild oats and silky bentgrass to cleavers and common lambsquarters. The key advantage is that it is a post-emergence herbicide, allowing you to react specifically once the problem appears.

Application and Effectiveness

The oil dispersion formulation improves leaf coverage significantly. The product adheres well and penetrates the weed's system rapidly. The formulation is balanced: the inclusion of cloquintocet-mexyl as an antidote eliminates phytotoxicity concerns for the wheat itself. In my field experience, applying 0.5–1.0 L/ha provides a reliable result with just one application—no further treatments are needed.

• Control of grasses and broadleaves: highly effective against silky bentgrass, wild oats, cornflower, and shepherd's purse.
• Selectivity: hits the target weeds precisely while keeping the crop intact.
• Systemic action: ensures the weeds are eradicated completely, preventing regrowth.

It is important to remember that this is a selective herbicide requiring precise dosage adjustments based on the level of field infestation. Being a hazard class 3 product, it requires standard safety precautions. In tank mixtures, it remains stable without precipitation, which greatly simplifies the sprayer operator's workflow.
