Stefcloram, RK (cloquarid, 267 g/l + picloram, 67 g/l)

Swiss-engineered protection for winter oilseed rape

In the professional cultivation of winter oilseed rape, the choice of a herbicide is a critical decision that directly impacts crop yield. Stefcloram (water-soluble concentrate) from the manufacturer DDE Farm AG (Liechtenstein) is a specialized systemic herbicide engineered for effective post-emergence control of problematic broad-leaved weeds. Its formula is designed to eliminate competition for nutrients and water, ensuring the crop reaches its full potential.

Synergistic power of active ingredients

The efficacy of Stefcloram is driven by the precise combination of clopyralid (267 g/l) and picloram (67 g/l). This dual-action approach allows agronomists to handle weeds that are notoriously difficult to control with standard herbicides:

• Broad-spectrum control: Highly effective against creeping thistle, cleavers, common lamb's quarters, scentless mayweed, black bindweed, and cornflower.
• Systemic action: The active substances are rapidly absorbed through the leaves and translocated throughout the weed, effectively shutting down growth processes.
• Selective performance: Despite its aggressive nature against weeds, it provides reliable crop safety when applied according to the label requirements.

Field application standards

As a water-soluble concentrate, Stefcloram is designed for ease of use in the field. It is a selective post-emergence herbicide applied via foliar spraying. The recommended application rate is 0.3–0.35 l/ha, with a maximum of one application per season. This makes it an efficient solution for large-scale production where minimizing inputs while maximizing outcomes is paramount. Classified as a Hazard Class 3 product, it requires standard safety protocols for chemical handling. Stefcloram stands as a testament to European quality standards in agrochemical manufacturing, offering a reliable tool for weed management in winter rapeseed crops.
