Shtefam KS, fenmedifam 320 g/l

PURPOSE: Selective herbicide for the control of annual dicotyledonous and some grass weeds on sugar beet crops.

PRINCIPLE OF ACTION: It has a contact effect, penetrates into plants through the leaf apparatus, blocks the process of photosynthesis. High air temperature (but not higher than 25°С) and intense solar radiation increase its effect. Does not affect weeds that have sprouted after treatment.

ADVANTAGES: the drug Shtefam, KS has the best effectiveness when applied to overgrown weeds, in particular to white quinoa (Chenepodium album L.); a wide spectrum of action against weeds;
soil temperature and humidity do not affect efficiency;
possibility of use in tank mixtures with other drugs;
lack of influence on subsequent crops in crop rotation; flexibility in application due to the possibility of adjusting the application rate, depending on the degree of weeding of crops;

APPLICATION FEATURES: Must be used with Stemat 500, CS (etofumesate, 500 g/l). To increase the efficiency of Shtefam, KS is recommended to be used with both surfactants: +Ripo (at the rate of 0.5 l/100 l of working solution) and +Shtilvet Super (at the rate of 0.05 l/100 l of working solution). For extended control of the spectrum of dicotyledonous weeds, it is advisable to use in tank mixtures with drugs:
Goal (metamitron, 700 g/l);
Shteferib (triflusulfuron-methyl, 500 g/kg).
Compatible with drugs produced by DDE FARM AG. When using with drugs from other manufacturers, it is necessary to conduct a preliminary check on the compatibility of the components and the phytotoxicity of the mixture.

APPLICATION REGULATIONS: The drug cannot be used on hot days with strong solar radiation or when there is a danger of night frosts, as well as in crops of sick or weakened plants, as beetroot damage is possible! It is recommended to carry out spraying at temperatures from +15 to + 25 ºС using ground equipment in the morning (before 10) and evening (after 18) hours with minimal air flows. Air speed during fine-droplet spraying should not exceed 3 m/s, with large-droplet -4 m/s. Immediately after each spraying, it is necessary to thoroughly wash the tank, main pipelines and nozzles with clean water. Do not spray on plants wet from rain or dew, or if precipitation is expected within the next 6 hours. Crop spraying should be carried out in the weed cotyledon phase, and subsequent treatments - with an interval of 7-10 days.

CONSUMPTION STANDARDS OF WORKING SOLUTION: 200-300 l/hа
