Wing® P, KE, herbicide

Why Wing® P is the industry standard for corn and sunflower protection

For an agronomist working with row crops, a weed-free field at the start of the season is 80% of the success. Wing® P, EC from BASF S.A. addresses weed control before they even have a chance to compete with your crops for moisture and nutrients. It is a soil-applied herbicide that works proactively.

Field performance

The combination of two active ingredients — pendimethalin and dimethenamid-P — allows the product to systemically target a wide spectrum of annual grass and broadleaf weeds. Unlike many other soil-applied herbicides, Wing® P adheres well to the topsoil layer, creating a protective barrier. This is critical for soybeans, sunflowers, and corn: while the crop is germinating, the herbicide blocks cell division in weed roots and shoots.

Practical application scenarios

• Starting protection: Applied strictly before crop emergence. This is the period when weeds are most vulnerable.
• Control in dry conditions: Due to its formulation, the product is less moisture-dependent than competitors, making it a reliable tool in regions with unstable spring rainfall.
• Cost optimization: A single application with a rate of 2.0–3.0 L/ha solves the first "wave" of weed pressure, allowing you to avoid extra tractor passes and mechanical tillage.

It is important to remember: the product's effectiveness depends directly on soil preparation. Large clods or excessive crop residue can reduce coverage uniformity; therefore, high-quality seedbed preparation is mandatory. By choosing Wing® P, you are opting for selectivity: your crops grow undisturbed, while weeds are eliminated in the early stages of development.
