Hyguardo is a winter wheat variety with resistance to the selective herbicide Constel. This herbicide is used to control annual grasses and broadleaf weeds on winter wheat and barley crops. Constel contains the active ingredients chlorotoluron and diflufenican, which provide effective weed control when applied before or shortly after crop emergence and weed germination.
To achieve optimal results, herbicide application should consider soil characteristics and weather conditions. On highly permeable soils, application is recommended after emergence. It is important to apply the product before severe frosts and avoid application during frost periods. In spring, application is possible when cereal crops are in good vegetative condition; for hard winter wheat varieties such as Hyguardo, the optimal timing is before the four-leaf stage (BBCH 14).
Thus, the Hyguardo variety exhibits good tolerance to chlorotoluron, enabling effective use of the herbicide Constel for weed control in crops. This contributes to increased yield and improved grain quality by reducing competition from undesirable vegetation.
