Toplanz 240

Advanced Systemic Control for Grass Weeds

«Toplants 240» from the Dutch manufacturer F.Simonis B.V. is a specialized agricultural tool utilizing the efficacy of clethodim. Unlike non-selective herbicides, this product selectively inhibits lipid biosynthesis exclusively within grass species, making it an essential solution for protecting broad-leaved crops.

Chemistry in Action: The Clethodim Mechanism

The active ingredient penetrates the leaf blade within 1–2 hours after application. Its systemic mobility allows the active component to reach growth points and the root system, which is crucial for controlling rhizomatous perennials such as couch grass (Agropyron repens) or Bermuda grass. Complete growth cessation of the weed occurs within 48 hours, followed by full necrosis within 1–2 weeks.

Operational Advantages

• Selective Action: Ideal for crops such as bulb onions, sugar/fodder beets, rapeseed, sunflower, flax, and peas. The selectivity is based on metabolic differences: crop plants neutralize the active ingredient, while grass weeds succumb to its action.
• Targeted Spectrum: High efficacy against wild oats, green foxtail, and yellow foxtail.
• Application Standards: The optimal application rate is up to 0.5 l/ha. Formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate, it ensures the formation of a highly stable spray mixture.
• Safety and Logistics: Classified as Hazard Class 3, the product is manageable for field staff, while the short pre-harvest interval (only 1 day) allows for flexible field management even late in the growing season.

Choosing «Toplants 240» signifies a commitment to professional European quality standards from F.Simonis B.V. Barneveld, ensuring that every drop of the emulsion works to suppress grass weed competition without causing phytotoxic stress to your crops.
