Raitar

Efficient Weed Control at the Early Growth Stage

The herbicide "Reitar" is a reliable tool for agronomists managing soil-borne weeds. Based on prometryn, this systemic, selective herbicide allows for the "clearing" of fields from annual broadleaf and certain grass weeds even before the emergence of crops. Applying it provides a solid foundation for a clean field, eliminating the need for early mechanical tillage or hoeing.

Practical Application Scenarios

The product is perfectly suited for protecting essential crops such as sunflowers, corn, carrots, peas, and potatoes. The primary function of "Reitar" is to create a protective barrier in the upper soil layer. As a pre-emergence soil herbicide, it is absorbed by weeds through their root systems and sprouts, blocking their development at the very beginning.

• Sunflowers and Corn: The product effectively reduces competitive pressure from weeds like lamb's quarters and thistle during the most vulnerable early stages of crop growth.
• Vegetables: For carrots and beans, "Reitar" acts as a gentle yet comprehensive solution against weeds, without inhibiting the crop itself, provided application rates are observed.

Technical Details and Recommendations

"Reitar" is formulated as a suspension concentrate, which ensures ease of mixing and stability of the working solution. It is crucial to note that the product requires good soil preparation; the field surface should be finely crumbled and sufficiently moist to activate the active ingredients. The application rate is over 3.0 L/ha, which is optimal for forming a resilient barrier. A single application before emergence is all that is required for a long-lasting protective effect. Classified as a hazard class 3 product, it requires standard safety measures when handling agrochemicals.
