Saga, KE

Protecting Soybeans from the Start

When working with soybeans, weed pressure is the biggest challenge during the initial growth phase. It is a pre-emergence soil herbicide that works by inhibiting the growth of weeds right when they are most vulnerable.

Application and Performance

The active ingredient, pendimethalin, is highly effective against annual grass and broadleaf weeds.

Operational Insights

• Formulation: The emulsifiable concentrate is user-friendly. It mixes well with water and, when the tank mix is prepared correctly, it does not clog sprayer nozzles.
• Safety: Classified as hazard class 3, it requires standard personal protective equipment (PPE) and adherence to safety protocols during handling and application.
• Selectivity: The herbicide is selective, meaning it leaves the soybeans unharmed provided the sowing depth is appropriate. It prevents the crop from struggling against competition early on.

"Saga, KE" is a strategic tool for professional agronomy. It is not designed to rescue fields that are already overgrown but rather to provide a clean field from the very beginning. When used with precise dosage and proper soil preparation, it offers consistent control over the first wave of weeds, allowing the soybeans to establish a robust stand.
