Racer KE

Reliable Weed Control at the Pre-Emergence Stage

«Racer KE» by ADAMA is a go-to solution for farmers looking to secure their fields before crops even emerge. As a systemic soil-applied herbicide, it provides robust protection against annual broadleaf weeds and certain grass species, acting as a foundation for a successful growing season.

How it Works

The product uses Flurochloridone as its active ingredient, which functions by inhibiting carotenoid synthesis. When applied to the soil after seeding but before crop germination, it creates a protective barrier. Germinating weeds absorb the herbicide and lose their green pigment, leading to rapid necrosis before they can compete with the crop for vital nutrients, water, and light.

Practical Applications

• Vegetable Crops (Carrots and Potatoes): Essential for keeping crops clean during the sensitive establishment phase.
• Field Crops (Sunflower and Peas): Allows plants to develop without early-season weed pressure, protecting the overall yield potential.

The dosage ranges from 2.0 to 3.0 liters per hectare, depending on soil type and weed density. The product comes as an emulsifiable concentrate designed for a single pre-emergence application. For optimal performance, ensure adequate soil moisture at the time of application to facilitate the uniform distribution of the active ingredient in the topsoil layer.

Why Choose Racer KE?

Using this selective herbicide helps agricultural managers streamline their weed control strategies. By handling the weed challenge early with one precise operation, you avoid the need for multiple mechanical inter-row cultivations or early post-emergence treatments. Trust in ADAMA's engineering to provide a clean start and minimize stress on your sensitive crops.
