Prima, SE

Precision crop protection from France

"Prima, SE" by Dow AgroSciences (France) is a cornerstone of modern agricultural weed management. Manufactured in Drusenheim, this systemic, selective herbicide has earned a reputation for its reliability and stable performance in protecting cereal crops and corn from a wide array of broadleaf weeds.

Key advantages and formulation

The product's efficacy is driven by its well-balanced formulation as an emulsifiable concentrate, containing florasulam and 2,4-D. This combination allows for a fast knockdown effect combined with strong systemic activity, ensuring that the roots of perennial weeds are reached and destroyed. It is highly effective against challenging species, including:

• Perennials: Field thistle (Cirsium arvense) and sow thistle (Sonchus arvensis).
• Annuals: Catchweed bedstraw (Galium aparine), common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album), redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus), wild mustard, and scentless chamomile.

Strategic application

As a post-emergence herbicide, "Prima, SE" is designed for maximum selectivity, making it perfectly safe for crops like winter wheat, barley, rye, oats, triticale, millet, sorghum, and corn. With an application rate of 0.4–0.6 liters per hectare, it offers an economical and highly targeted approach to field maintenance.

The product requires only a single application per season, allowing for efficient integration into any crop protection schedule. Classified under hazard class 3, it remains a professional-grade solution that requires adherence to standard handling protocols. By choosing "Prima, SE," agronomists gain a powerful tool that eliminates weed competition during critical growth stages, directly contributing to higher yields and cleaner harvests.
