Samum Forte 374

Technical Specifications and Formulation

Samum Forte 374 is a high-performance crop protection agent developed by Fader Alliance Ltd. (England), utilizing advanced production facilities in the Netherlands and Poland. Designed as a water-suspension concentrate, this formulation ensures excellent solubility and consistent delivery of the active ingredient across the target surface.

Mechanism of Action

As a contact, non-selective herbicide and desiccant, Samum Forte 374 operates through rapid membrane disruption rather than systemic vascular movement. Upon application to leaf tissue, it induces immediate dehydration and destruction of chlorophyll-bearing structures. For the grower, this translates into several critical field advantages:

• Accelerated moisture reduction in seeds of sunflower, soybean, and winter rapeseed, which is vital for timely and efficient harvesting.
• Complete stop of vegetative growth, preventing secondary disease development in the crop canopy.
• Uniform ripening, which reduces mechanical losses during harvest operations.

Application and Operational Guidelines

The product requires precise application at a rate of 1.0 to 2.0 liters per hectare. Given its non-selective, contact nature, it is essential to calibrate spraying equipment to prevent drift onto non-target plants. The water-suspension concentrate formula provides high stability in the tank, reducing the risk of nozzle clogging and ensuring a uniform spread across the target field area.

Classified as a Hazard Class 2 substance, Samum Forte 374 demands strict adherence to safety protocols during handling and application. One single treatment per season is sufficient to effectively manage the physiological state of the crop and optimize the harvest window, ensuring that the field is prepared correctly for the post-harvest period.
