Sultan Twin KS

Reliable start for winter oilseed rape

When starting an oilseed rape season, the priority is to give the crop a head start against weeds. Sultan Twin SC from the Israeli manufacturer Adama Agan Ltd. is my go-to choice for pre-emergence protection. As a systemic soil-applied herbicide, it works selectively, allowing the crop to develop without any chemical stress, while weeds are eliminated before they even emerge.

Weed control efficiency

On my fields, controlling cleavers, lambsquarters, and field pansies is essential. Sultan Twin SC provides excellent selectivity. The active ingredients, Quinmerac and Metazachlor (chloroacetamides), ensure long-lasting control of common weeds such as shepherd's purse, common chickweed, and scentless mayweed. It effectively clears the soil, allowing the rape to canopy quickly and dominate the space.

Application and technical performance

• Dosage and usage: I typically use a rate of 2–2.5 L/ha. This concentration is sufficient to cover all requirements while adhering to safety standards (Hazard Class 3).
• Handling: The suspension concentrate formulation is highly convenient for field operations. It dissolves easily in the spray tank, doesn't clog nozzles, and maintains stability without constant agitation.
• Operational efficiency: One treatment per season is enough. By applying it pre-emergence, I avoid the need for post-emergence herbicide passes, which significantly saves on fuel, labor, and maintenance wear on the sprayer.

Using Sultan Twin SC has streamlined my field operations. It is a reliable solution that performs exactly as expected, provided the application window is met. For any operator looking for stability and professional-grade efficacy, this Israeli-manufactured product is a staple in the crop protection strategy.
