Picador

Advanced Weed Control for Soybeans and Peas

«Picador» by the Cherkasy-based «Agrochimikat Factory» (Ukraine) is a robust systemic herbicide designed for agricultural producers who prioritize efficiency in legume cultivation. As an imazethapyr-based product, it serves as both a soil and a post-emergence herbicide, offering a versatile approach to field management.

Application Scenarios

Whether you are dealing with pre-emergence protection or targeting emerged weeds, «Picador» adapts to your crop management needs:

• Pre-emergence: Apply to create a soil shield that prevents weed germination, ensuring your crop establishes in a weed-free environment.
• Post-emergence: Acting through the leaves, the herbicide translocates rapidly to the growth points of weeds, providing systemic control.

Effective Target Control

The product is highly effective against common agricultural weeds such as white goosefoot, green foxtail, redroot pigweed, wild radish, field pennycress, shepherd's purse, common chickweed, and catchweed bedstraw. By applying a rate of 0.5 to 1.0 liters per hectare, farmers can maintain high selectivity, ensuring that neither soybeans nor peas are stunted by the chemical application.

Practical Implementation Tips

«Picador» is formulated as a water-soluble concentrate, which makes it simple to integrate into standard tank mixtures. Since it is a selective herbicide, it offers a single-application solution per season. With a pre-harvest interval of just 1 day, it provides high flexibility for scheduling harvest operations. As it is categorized under Hazard Class 3, standard safety measures during spraying are required. For optimal results, ensure the coverage of the leaf surface or the soil moisture level is appropriate for the chosen application method.
