Zilar Pro

Building a Solid Foundation: Pre-Emergence Weed Control

The yield potential of a crop is determined in the early stages of growth. When weeds emerge alongside corn, soybeans, or sunflowers, they aggressively compete for limited moisture and nutrients. «Zilar Pro» by Rangoli is a systemic soil-applied herbicide designed to neutralize this competition before it even starts.

How Zilar Pro Works in the Field

At the heart of the product is propisochlor, a selective active ingredient known for its precision. Unlike aggressive broad-spectrum herbicides that can stress young crops, Zilar Pro works by creating a protective «shield» in the topsoil layer. As weeds begin to germinate, they absorb the herbicide through their roots or coleoptiles. This effectively stops their growth at the primary stage, allowing your main crop to establish a strong, unchallenged root system.

Key Application Scenarios

• Strategic Timing: For maximum efficiency, apply Zilar Pro immediately after planting. Soil moisture is critical, as it activates the product to form an herbicide screen that lasts for 6 to 8 weeks, covering several potential germination flushes of weeds.
• Optimized Dosage: The product is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate. With a standard application rate of 2.0 to 3.0 liters per hectare, it provides a consistent defense barrier. As a pre-emergence herbicide, it is highly valued for reducing the need for intensive post-emergence interventions.
• Safety and Selectivity: It belongs to the 3rd hazard class, ensuring a safe working environment when handling and applying. Its selective nature makes it a cornerstone for intensive farming technologies, ensuring that the crop remains healthy while the competitive weed pressure is suppressed.

Incorporating Zilar Pro into your agronomic program saves time and operational costs. It mitigates the need for emergency, late-season weed control, which is often hindered by unpredictable weather. It is a calculated, preventive move for a cleaner field and a more robust harvest.
