Stomp Aqua

Why Stomp Aqua has become a field standard

When it comes to soil-applied protection, most agronomists choose Stomp Aqua for its stability. Working with it season after season, you realize that the key value of this micro-encapsulated suspension is predictability. The active ingredient, pendimethalin, is encapsulated in a way that allows for slower release and longer persistence in the topsoil, creating a reliable barrier for germinating weeds.

Application and Field Performance

For an operator, this herbicide is user-friendly, as it is less aggressive on equipment compared to older pendimethalin formulations. The product performs excellently on onions, carrots, soybeans, and sunflowers. The main thing to consider during operation: Stomp Aqua requires high-quality seedbed preparation. Large soil clods reduce the effectiveness of the soil barrier, so it works at its best on level, well-tilled fields.

• Control: Highly effective against key annual grass and broadleaf weeds that are difficult to manage otherwise.
• Dosage: Varies from 2 to 6 liters depending on weed pressure and soil type; it is crucial not to cut rates where weed pressure is high.

Although it is a selective herbicide, it is important to follow the label strictly: only one application per season is allowed. The micro-encapsulated form significantly reduces the risk of phytotoxicity for crops, which is critical when growing vegetables like cucumbers or cabbage. It mixes well in the tank and does not clog nozzles, saving time during large-scale operations.
