Pik 75 WG

Pik, VDG — post-emergence herbicide with long residual activity for controlling annual and some perennial weeds in corn, flax, and cereal crops.

Active ingredient: prosulfuron, 750 g/kg

Base unit

0.1 kg.

The active ingredient — prosulfuron — belongs to the sulfonylurea chemical class. The formulation is effective at very low application rates, minimizing environmental impact. The long protective period — up to 8 weeks — allows complete elimination of weed competition with a single application.

HOW PIK WORKS

Prosulfuron penetrates weed plants 2–3 hours after application via leaves, stems, and roots and rapidly distributes throughout the plant to growth points, causing color changes (yellowing, chlorosis) and halting leaf and stem growth. Complete weed death occurs within 15–20 days, depending on species, weather conditions, and application rate.

SPECTRUM OF ACTION

Annual and some perennial broadleaf weeds, including those resistant to 2,4-D and MCPA.

Highly sensitive:

chickweed (species), field bindweed, hardy knotweed, daisy (species), marigold (species), and others.

Sensitive:

common starwort, field radish, field mustard, blue chicory, burnet (species), drooping water-plantain, wormwood-leaved ragwort, field poppy, three-petaled violet, sticky cinquefoil, yellow bedstraw (species), medicinal valerian, field dock, bindweed (species), dock (species), and others.

WHEN TO APPLY PIK

Corn tolerates post-emergence applications of Pik, VDG regardless of growth stage. The wide application window allows flexible timing without phytotoxicity to the crop. However, earlier applications are recommended, as early weed control significantly increases crop yield.

Pik, VDG is an economical solution when annual broadleaf weeds dominate overall weed pressure. If perennial broadleaf weeds dominate, apply a tank mix of Pik, VDG + Banvel, VR.
