STREAM TURBO

Why Stream Turbo is a strategic choice for corn and sunflower fields

Managing weed pressure before it impacts crop yield is the cornerstone of successful agriculture. Stream Turbo, manufactured by UPL Limited (India/Vietnam), is a soil-applied herbicide that provides a robust protective shield for corn and sunflower crops. By combining the strengths of Terbuthylazine and S-metolachlor, it addresses both annual broadleaf and grass weeds in a single pre-emergence application.

Key Advantages of Stream Turbo

• Synergistic Formulation: The product leverages a dual-action approach. S-metolachlor acts as an effective barrier against germinating grasses, while Terbuthylazine broadens the spectrum to include difficult-to-control broadleaf species.
• Selective Protection: As a selective herbicide, Stream Turbo is designed to neutralize competition while keeping the target crop safe, provided the guidelines are followed.
• Residual Control: Being a soil-applied systemic herbicide, it creates a long-lasting barrier in the topsoil. This ensures that the crop gets off to a clean start during the most vulnerable early stages of its lifecycle.

Who should use it?

Stream Turbo is optimal for producers managing large-scale intensive farming systems. With an application rate of 4–4.5 L/ha, it offers a predictable and reliable solution for fields with a history of diverse weed infestations. It is a 'one-and-done' solution, as the product label limits it to a single application, simplifying the agricultural cycle and reducing the need for multiple post-emergence passes.

Practical considerations

The efficacy of a soil-applied herbicide is heavily dependent on soil preparation. For Stream Turbo to form an effective barrier, the field should be well-prepared and free of large clumps or excessive crop residue. It is a high-performance, selective tool that allows farmers to set the foundation for a successful, weed-free season with maximum efficiency.
