UPSTAGE

Professional Pre-Emergence Weed Control

For agronomists managing soybean, winter rapeseed, or potato crops, the first few weeks after planting are the most critical. Early weed competition can significantly stunt development and reduce yield potential. Upstage by UPL Limited provides a robust solution, establishing a soil-applied barrier that stops weeds before they emerge.

Practical Field Application

Upstage is a selective, systemic soil-applied herbicide. Its primary role is to create a consistent active zone in the top layer of the soil, targeting aggressive species like common lambsquarters, shepherd's purse, common chickweed, cleavers, and common ragweed. By applying it pre-emergence, farmers can eliminate the competitive pressure right at the start of the growing season.

Successful application requires proper soil moisture and thorough land preparation to ensure an even distribution of the herbicide barrier. Once applied, the systemic nature of the active ingredient, clomazone, ensures consistent results across the treated area.

Why choose Upstage for your operation:

• Superior Start: Ensures the crop establishes without being choked by weeds.
• Reduced Herbicide Stress: By controlling weeds early, you may significantly reduce or eliminate the need for harsh post-emergence corrective treatments.
• Ease of Use: The suspension concentrate formulation ensures good mixing in the spray tank, consistency in application, and reliability in standard spray equipment.

Upstage represents a strategic tool for high-tech crop management. By controlling weeds at the germination stage, you are protecting the genetic potential of your crops and laying the groundwork for a successful, high-yielding harvest.
