Shmaiser

Why «Schmeisser» is the professional's choice for stubborn weed control?

When it comes to controlling deep-rooted perennial weeds like Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) or knotweed, most standard 2,4-D-based herbicides fail. The systemic herbicide «Schmeisser» by Aquarius & Co. solves this issue through a potent combination of picloram and clopyralid. This synergy allows the active ingredients to penetrate deep into the root system, effectively eradicating the weed from within.

Key Advantages and Application

• Systemic Control: Due to its high mobility within the plant, it suppresses thistle, sow thistle, and chamomile even at advanced stages of growth.
• Selectivity: Designed specifically for winter cereals (wheat, barley), oats, and winter rapeseed, the product is safe for the crops when applied at recommended rates.
• Minimal Risk: Classified as Hazard Class 3, it offers safer handling, and a single application per season effectively manages weed pressure during critical growth stages.

The hallmark of «Schmeisser» is its «knock-out» efficacy against species resistant to other auxin-type herbicides. However, it is essential to note that this is a post-emergence (insurance) herbicide. It is best used when weeds are actively growing but have not yet caused significant crop suppression. It is not a soil-applied herbicide; its primary role is a targeted, uncompromising strike against weeds competing for nutrients.

For the farmer, this translates into predictable results: weed-free fields, which is crucial for achieving high yields in wheat or rapeseed. With a application rate of 0.5–1.0 l/ha, «Schmeisser» strikes an optimal balance between cost-efficiency and high-quality control of perennial broad-leaved weeds.
