Turbin

Soil Protection: Why Turbin is a Pragmatic Agronomist’s Choice

In the struggle for moisture and nutrients at the start of the growing season, crop protection efficiency is determined long before the plants emerge. Turbin, from 'Tri Delta Company International', is a classic systemic soil herbicide based on acetochlor, designed for those who prefer to resolve weed issues early in the season, preventing their dominance in the field.

Impact and Selectivity

The key advantage of this product is its ability to inhibit the germination of grasses and certain broadleaf weeds, such as common lambsquarters and green foxtail, during their primary cell division phase. As a selective herbicide, Turbin does not suppress the growth of target crops—soybeans, corn, and sunflowers—provided the application instructions are followed.

• Active Ingredient: Acetochlor (a chloroacetamide derivative). It creates a long-lasting protective barrier in the soil, effectively targeting quackgrass and most annual grasses.
• Ease of Use: The emulsifiable concentrate formulation is easy to measure and quickly creates a stable working solution.
• Flexibility: With an application rate of 2.0 to 3.0 L/ha, growers can adjust concentration based on soil type and weed infestation levels.

Who is this for?

Turbin is ideal for farmers employing intensive technologies where maintaining a weed-free soil environment during the first 4–6 weeks of crop growth is critical. As a pre-emergence soil herbicide, it requires at least a baseline level of moisture in the topsoil to activate. It is not a 'cure-all' solution, but rather a specialized tool for controlling grass-based competition in soybean, sunflower, and corn crops.

Note: The product is classified as Hazard Class 3 and allows for a single application per season. Using Turbin is an investment in resource efficiency, allowing the main crop to reach its genetic potential without the stress of weed competition.
