Stratos® Ultra, CE

Targeted Grass Weed Control

For agricultural producers dealing with aggressive grasses like couch grass, green foxtail, or barnyard grass, Stratos® Ultra, EC by Basf S.A. provides a professional-grade solution. This systemic herbicide is specifically designed for post-emergence application, targeting competitive weeds while ensuring the health and development of your crops.

Core Benefits of the Formulation

Based on cycloxydim, Stratos® Ultra acts as a selective herbicide. Once applied to the foliage, it is rapidly absorbed and translocated systemically to the growing points of the weeds, effectively halting their development. Its versatility makes it a staple in farm crop protection programs:

• Crop Compatibility: Safe for use on sugar beet, oilseed rape, carrots, soybeans, sunflower, flax, potatoes, and corn.
• Target Pests: Highly effective against creeping wheatgrass, green foxtail, barnyard grass, yellow foxtail, common wild oat, and loose silky-bent.
• Application Efficiency: Designed for post-emergence control, allowing you to react precisely when weed pressure becomes visible in the fields.

Field Application Strategy

To maximize the efficacy of this EC (Emulsifiable Concentrate) formulation, farmers typically apply it during the early stages of weed growth. Because it acts selectively, it avoids the typical 'check' in crop growth that can occur with non-selective treatments, ensuring the energy of the plant is dedicated to yield formation rather than fighting chemical stress. Being a selective herbicide, it is the ideal choice for integrated pest management systems where protecting the crop canopy is paramount.

The product's 3rd hazard class profile requires standard safety procedures, ensuring that, when handled according to label directions, it offers a reliable and manageable way to maintain weed-free fields across diverse crop rotations.
