Shturman SS, KS

Effective Crop Protection for Corn

Once corn reaches the 3–10 leaf stage, the primary objective for any farmer is to clear the fields of unwanted vegetation. Shturman SC (based on nicosulfuron) is a classic systemic tool designed to tackle both grass and a wide range of broadleaf weeds.

Why choose this systemic herbicide?

• High Selectivity: The product is specifically engineered for corn protection. Corn plants rapidly metabolize the active ingredient, while targeted weeds are inhibited at the cellular level.
• Broad Spectrum Control: Shturman effectively manages aggressive weeds such as quackgrass, common ragweed, redroot pigweed, and field mustard, reducing the need for complex tank mixes.
• Suspension Concentrate: This formulation ensures optimal stability and leaf adhesion, which is crucial for achieving effective post-emergence results.

Application and Efficiency

The systemic mode of action allows the active substance to translocate quickly throughout the plant, arresting growth within hours of application. Complete weed mortality occurs within 1 to 3 weeks, providing the crop with a critical window to grow without competition. With a consumption rate of 1–1.25 L/ha, a single seasonal application is sufficient to keep fields clean during the most vulnerable growth stages of corn.

Who is this for? Shturman SC is the ideal solution for farms that prioritize predictability and reliability. It is the optimal choice for managing persistent perennial grasses in grain and silage corn production. Classified under hazard class 3, the product requires adherence to standard safety protocols during handling and application.
