Segment, CS, (Prometryn, 500 g/l)

A Solid Foundation for Crop Protection

Effective weed management at the early stages of plant development is the baseline for high yields. Segment, SC (prometryn, 500 g/l) from «Three Delta Company International» is a reliable soil-applied herbicide that acts as the first line of defense for a variety of vegetable and industrial crops.

Practical Field Application

This herbicide is designed for pre-emergence application, creating a protective layer in the topsoil that halts the development of annual broadleaf and grass weeds as their seeds germinate. Its selective action ensures that the crops develop without competing for moisture and nutrients. It is effectively used in several key agricultural scenarios:

• Industrial Crops: Sunflower and coriander production, where early-season weed suppression is critical.
• Vegetable Production: Potatoes and carrots. Its high selectivity allows for weed control without phytotoxicity issues for the crops.
• Legumes: Peas and common beans, providing protection during the early establishment phase.

Technical Insights for Farm Management

As a suspension concentrate, the product is easy to mix and apply uniformly across the field. The key to success with Segment, SC lies in soil moisture: the herbicide performs best when the topsoil has sufficient moisture to activate the chemical barrier. The recommended application rate is 2–4 liters per hectare, depending on soil type and organic matter content; heavier soils require the higher end of this range for optimal coverage.

Being a systemic herbicide, it provides prolonged protection in the soil horizon. Since the protocol allows for only one application per season, timing is crucial—it should be applied immediately after sowing but before the crops emerge. This makes Segment an essential tool for farm operations aiming to reduce mechanical weeding and ensure a clean, fast start for their crops.
