Precision weed control with Shogun EC

When perennial grasses like couch grass threaten your yields, you need a targeted solution. Shogun EC, developed by Adama Agan Ltd. from Israel, is a selective systemic herbicide designed to eliminate grass weeds while keeping your crops untouched. It is a workhorse in the field for growers who prioritize efficiency and reliability.

Application and Field Performance

Shogun EC is engineered for versatile use. It is highly effective on a wide variety of crops including onions, garlic, fodder beets, winter rapeseed, cabbage, soybeans, sunflower, and flax. As a post-emergence (insurance) herbicide, it gives you the flexibility to address weed issues exactly when they become visible.

• Controlled Dosage: Depending on the weed pressure, the application rate varies from 0.4 to 1.2 liters per hectare, allowing for cost-effective protection.
• Systemic Action: The herbicide is absorbed through the leaves and travels through the plant to the roots. This is essential for controlling perennial weeds like couch grass that would otherwise re-sprout.
• Formulation: Supplied as an emulsifiable concentrate, the product is easy to mix and spray, compatible with standard agricultural spraying equipment.

Operational Insights

For those managing the sprayers, the main advantage here is the "set it and forget it" nature of the product. With a 3rd hazard class rating, it is manageable for professional teams with standard safety protocols. Since the maximum number of applications per season is limited to one, it is best to time the spray when the weeds are in their active growth phase to ensure maximum systemic translocation. Shogun EC provides the precision that professional farming demands, coming with the consistent quality associated with Adama's Israeli production standards.
