Why Volens is the Professional Choice for Soybean Protection

When soybeans enter a critical development stage, and the field starts being overrun by persistent broadleaf weeds, there is no time for trial and error. "Volens" from Nertus is a specialized tool designed specifically for protecting soybean crops from the most aggressive yield-limiting weeds.

What the Product Targets

The primary strength of the product lies in the combination of active ingredients — clomazone and acifluorfen. This tandem effectively halts the growth of such troublesome weeds as:

• Common ragweed and jimsonweed;
• Black nightshade and common lambsquarters;
• Redroot pigweed and common purslane;
• Purple deadnettle and pale smartweed.

These weeds not only steal moisture and nutrients but also serve as reservoirs for diseases. Thanks to its selective action, Volens targets competitors while leaving your crops safe.

Field Application Insights

The oil dispersion (OD) formulation ensures excellent adhesion to the leaf surface and rapid penetration into the weed tissues. This is a systemic post-emergence herbicide: it acts directly on actively growing weeds. You only need one application per season with a rate of 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha to clean the field.

When using this product, its systemic nature is key: the herbicide is quickly absorbed by weeds, blocking their enzymatic processes. Despite its high effectiveness against a broad spectrum of broadleaf weeds, it remains within the 3rd hazard class, which is standard for modern pesticides when application regulations are followed.

Practical tip: For the best results, perform spraying when weeds are in the active growth phase (typically at the 2–4 true leaf stage). This ensures maximum absorption of the product and rapid weed control with minimal stress to the soybean plants themselves.
