Sultan

Why Sultan is the Standard for Rapeseed Protection

Successful winter rapeseed cultivation depends heavily on field cleanliness during the germination stage. Weed competition in the first few weeks of the crop's life leads not only to moisture and nutrient loss but also to an irreversible decrease in stand density. Sultan, a herbicide from ADAMA, solves this issue through systemic action and the creation of a reliable soil barrier.

Application Scenarios

Unlike products designed for post-emergence application, Sultan works proactively. As a pre-emergence herbicide, it is applied immediately after sowing. Its primary mission is to block the germination of annual grass and broad-leaved weeds before they even break the soil surface.

• Selectivity: The product is perfectly suited for cruciferous crops. It does not inhibit rapeseed sprouts, allowing them to develop without competition.
• Weed Control: The active ingredient metazachlor is absorbed by weed sprouts, effectively halting their growth at the very earliest stages.
• Dosage and Flexibility: Application rates range from 0.5 to 2.0 L/ha, depending on soil type and expected weed pressure. High efficacy is achieved when the soil has sufficient moisture levels.

Agronomists value Sultan for its ability to minimize the need for mechanical inter-row cultivation, which is crucial for large farms looking to reduce fuel costs and equipment traffic. By following the regulations (one application per season) and ensuring proper seedbed preparation, you secure a clean field during the critical early growth stage of your crops.
