Zodiac 40 SL

Professional crop protection for soybean and sunflower

When managing weed pressure in industrial soybean or sunflower crops, high-performance solutions are essential. Zodiac 40 SL, developed by Globachem (Belgium), is a versatile crop protection agent designed for farmers who need both effective herbicide control and a reliable desiccant for harvest preparation.

Key advantages in field applications

The core of Zodiac 40 SL is Imazamox, which delivers systemic action against a broad spectrum of problematic weeds such as common ragweed, lamb's quarters, pigweed, and velvetleaf. It is particularly effective against tough species like field thistle and wild mustard, making it a staple in modern weed management systems.

• Leaf-applied herbicide: The formulation is designed for post-emergence application, ensuring quick absorption and immediate impact on weed growth.
• Solubility and stability: As a water-soluble concentrate, the product mixes easily and ensures uniform coverage across the treated area, reducing the risk of application errors.
• Dual functionality: Its ability to serve as a desiccant allows for uniform crop maturation, which is crucial for maximizing yield quality and minimizing harvest losses.

Operational guidelines

For optimal results, Zodiac 40 SL is applied as a single treatment per season with a dosage exceeding 3.0 l/ha. As it acts as a non-selective herbicide, operators must exercise precision during spraying to target only the desired areas. This makes it an ideal tool for farms facing intense competition from weeds like common shepherd's purse or common chickweed, where immediate results are required to protect the yield potential of the crop.
