Rapsan 500 SC

Securing Your Winter Oilseed Rape Crop from Day One

For winter oilseed rape, the battle against weeds is won at the beginning. Rapasan 500 SC by Globachem (Belgium) is a professional soil-applied herbicide designed to provide a protective barrier in the soil, preventing weed competition before it starts. Its active ingredient, metazachlor, is a standard in European agronomy for its high efficiency and reliability.

Why Rapasan 500 SC stands out

• Superior Selectivity: Specifically formulated for oilseed rape, it ensures weed control without stunting or harming the crop when applied at the recommended rates.
• Targeted Weed Spectrum: Highly effective against common, stubborn weeds such as cleavers (Galium aparine), common chickweed, shepherd’s purse, and various types of knotweed and dead-nettle.
• Formulation Quality: As a suspension concentrate, it ensures excellent dispersion in the soil profile, creating the uniform barrier needed for pre-emergence control.

Operational Efficiency

Rapasan 500 SC acts as a systemic herbicide. By applying it pre-emergence, you effectively secure the crop’s access to moisture and nutrients during its most vulnerable phase of growth.

Key Strengths:

• European manufacturing quality (Globachem, Belgium).
• Proven track record against broad-leaved weeds.
• Optimized systemic action that works immediately upon seed germination.

Application Tips:
Like all soil-applied herbicides, effectiveness is linked to soil moisture conditions. For best results, it should be applied to well-prepared, moist soil immediately after sowing. The dosage ranges from 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha, depending on soil type and weed pressure. A single, well-timed application is usually sufficient to carry the crop through its initial critical development stage.
