Soybean is a leguminous plant widely cultivated in various regions of Ukraine. However, to achieve high yields, it is necessary to effectively combat weeds, pests, and diseases that significantly reduce the crop's potential. Soy protection involves both biological and chemical means that help significantly increase crop productivity.
One of the effective protection methods is a herbicide based on clomazone with a concentration of 480 g/l. This preparation penetrates plants through the roots and hypocotyl, moving to the leaves where it blocks chlorophyll synthesis, disrupting photosynthesis and leading to weed death. The herbicide is especially effective against hairy bittercress and has a long-lasting action in the soil, while its effectiveness is little dependent on soil moisture. The recommended application rate for soy is 0.2 l/ha in combination with a partner herbicide, with a working solution consumption of 200-400 l/ha.
Additionally, herbicides containing active substances such as terbutylazine and S-metolachlor are used to combat various weeds, including perennial and annual species. These preparations provide comprehensive protection for soy from harmful plants, contributing to crop health preservation and yield increase.
