Pectoral

Reliable crop protection: How «Pectoral» performs in the field

When you need a decisive solution against broad-leaved weeds, «Pectoral» becomes the go-to tool for wheat and corn crops. As an operator, what I appreciate most about this systemic herbicide is the synergy between florasulam and the 2,4-D 2-ethylhexyl ester. It doesn't just stress the weeds; it systematically shuts down their metabolic processes. The 2,4-D component provides quick knockdown of vegetative mass, while the florasulam ensures complete suppression of the root system, preventing regrowth.

Field Application and Handling

The product comes as a suspension concentrate, making it easy to prepare the tank mix. With an application rate of 0.4–0.6 L/ha, it offers excellent selectivity; our crops show zero signs of distress, even when conditions are less than ideal. We apply it post-emergence, and the results remain consistent even during cooler spring weather, when other products might lag.

• Target Range: It handles Canada thistle, common ragweed, redroot pigweed, shepherd's purse, and catchweed bedstraw with ease.
• Technological Advantage: Because it acts systemically, the active ingredients enter the leaf tissues rapidly, meaning a light rain a few hours after application won't wash away your investment.
• Efficiency: One single application is all it takes to keep the field clear, saving on labor and machine wear-and-tear.

Operational Insights

Given its Hazard Class 3 rating, standard safety protocols are essential during handling and loading. The mixture is stable in the tank, meaning no nozzle clogging or residue buildup, which significantly simplifies the maintenance of our spraying equipment. For those farming wheat, rye, or corn, «Pectoral» represents a reliable, no-nonsense solution that delivers predictable results season after season.
