Starner, KE (acetochlor, 900 g/l)

Securing Your Crops from Day One

The early growth stage is critical for corn, sunflowers, and soybeans. To ensure these crops thrive without competition from weeds, a robust soil protection strategy is essential. Starnes, EC is a systemic soil-applied herbicide containing 900 g/L of acetochlor. Manufactured by DDE Farm AG in Triesen, Liechtenstein, this product establishes a protective barrier in the topsoil, neutralizing annual grasses and broad-leaved weeds before they can establish their root systems.

Key Advantages of Starnes

• Selective Action: Designed to be selective, Starnes targets weeds while remaining gentle on your primary crops, allowing them to utilize nutrients and moisture without interference.
• Pre-Emergence Power: As a pre-emergence herbicide, it stops weed development at the germination stage, effectively providing a clean field throughout the critical early weeks.
• Stable Formulation: The emulsifiable concentrate (EC) ensures an easy-to-mix, stable solution that distributes evenly across the soil surface for uniform protection.

Application Insights

DDE Farm AG has engineered this herbicide for professional use, with a recommended application rate of 1.5 to 3 liters per hectare, depending on soil type and weed pressure. As a soil-applied herbicide, Starnes performs best when the topsoil has sufficient moisture to activate the active ingredient. It is designed for a single application per season, making it a highly efficient part of an integrated weed management plan.

Why Choose Starnes?

Starnes is the optimal choice for producers using conventional or minimum tillage who want to avoid the time and expense of early-season mechanical weeding. Its systemic mode of action provides long-lasting control, which is particularly beneficial for sensitive stages of sunflower and soybean development. By choosing a product from the Liechtenstein-based DDE Farm AG, you are opting for consistent quality standards and a reliable defense mechanism for your field crops. It is a straightforward, effective, and essential tool for ensuring a high-yield potential from the very beginning of the season.
