Zumur CS, herbicide (Glyphosate, 360 g/l + Oxifluorfen, 30 g/l)

Professional Weed Control for Orchards and Vineyards

This product from F.Agan Chemical Manufacturers Ltd., Israel, is a high-performance solution for orchardists and viticulturists dealing with persistent weed pressure. By combining glyphosate and oxyfluorfen, the formulation offers a dual-action approach: it acts as a systemic herbicide to kill existing vegetation and as a soil herbicide to prevent new weed growth.

Practical Applications in the Field

Agronomists utilize this product to tackle specific maintenance challenges:

• Targeting tough annual and perennial grasses and broad-leaved weeds that compete with apple trees and grapevines for vital nutrients and moisture.
• Maintaining clear rows in vineyards and orchards: the systemic action destroys the weed biomass, while the soil component creates a residual barrier against seed germination.
• Versatile application timing: effective for pre-emergence and post-emergence scenarios, providing flexibility in seasonal weed management strategies.

The systemic nature of the product ensures deep penetration into the roots, which is crucial for eradicating deep-rooted perennial weeds. Its dual-action mechanism significantly reduces the necessity for repeated mechanical weeding throughout the growth season.

Usage Guidelines and Technical Specs

The product is provided as an emulsifiable concentrate. The recommended application rate is 1.0 to 2.0 liters per hectare. A maximum of 3 applications per season is permitted. Being a Category 3 hazardous material, standard safety protocols are required during handling. With a pre-harvest interval of 90 days, it is well-suited for integrated orchard management programs.
