Starra, CE (Hizalofop-P-ethyl, 50 g/l)

Effective Control of Grass Weeds in Field Crops

Starra, CE is a selective post-emergence herbicide from DDE Farm AG (Liechtenstein) that has become an essential tool in managing problematic annual and perennial grass weeds. With Quizalofop-P-ethyl (50 g/l) as the active ingredient, the product works systemically, rapidly penetrating plant tissues through the leaf surface and blocking growth processes.

When and How to Use Starra

Farmers choose this product to protect soybean, rapeseed, sunflower, fodder beet, and flax fields. The primary objective of Starra is to clear fields of aggressive weeds such as couch grass, wild oat, foxtail, and barnyard grass without causing damage to the crop itself.

• Systemic Activity: The herbicide moves quickly to the growth points and root systems, which is crucial for controlling deep-rooted weeds like couch grass.
• Application Flexibility: Post-emergence application allows growers to assess weed infestation levels and apply the herbicide exactly when weeds are most susceptible.
• Selectivity: Due to its selective mode of action, the product fits perfectly into intensive cultivation technologies for oilseeds and technical crops.

Field Application Guidelines

For maximum performance, apply a rate of 0.5 to 1.2 liters per hectare, depending on the weed species composition and their growth stage. It is important to note that Starra is intended for a single treatment per season. Classified as a Hazard Class 3 product, it requires strict adherence to personal protective equipment regulations during handling. The best results are achieved during active weed growth, ideally when annual weeds are at the 2–4 leaf stage or when couch grass has reached a height of 10–15 cm.
