PARDUS 480 SL

A selective post-emergence, contact-action herbicide effective against annual broadleaf weeds.

Category: Herbicides

ctive ingredient:

bentazon (, 480 g/l

Formulation:

soluble concentrate

Packing:

1 L, 5 L, 10 L, 20 L

Mode of action:

The product is intended for the control of annual dicotyledonous weeds in soybean and pea crops. Due to its selective action, it selectively affects the weeds without harming the cultivated plants. The active ingredient, bentazon, is a photosynthesis inhibitor. It primarily acts as a contact herbicide and is absorbed by the green parts of the weeds. Bentazon blocks the photosynthesis process, leading to the rapid cessation of the weeds’ life activities and their death within a short period

Field of usage

Crop	Dose rate, l/ha	Weed	Terms of application	Quantity of treatments
Soybean	1,5-3,0	Annual broadleaf weed species, including those resistant to 2,4-D and MCPA	Spraying at the 5–6 leaf stage of the crop using all types of spraying equipment (no waiting period required)	1
Pea	2,0-3,0		Spraying at the 1–3 true leaf stage of the crop using all types of spraying equipment (no waiting period required)	1

Compatibility

Compatible with most herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides when application timing coincides. However, in each specific case, product compatibility should be tested. Do not use in tank mixtures with graminicides (clethodim).

Application features

The product rapidly penetrates the plant. The first visible symptoms of action appear within 3–7 days, with complete weed control occurring 10–14 days after treatment. The product is most effective when applied during the active growth stage of weeds (for annual weeds, the 2–4 leaf stage).

Application should be carried out under warm and humid conditions after weed emergence, as cold and dry weather reduces herbicide activity. Do not treat crops if rainfall is expected within 5 hours after spraying. The product may be applied at temperatures of +15 to +25 °C.

Before use, carefully read the instructions provided on the product label.

Product’s advantages

The advanced formulation ensures better retention and effective absorption of bentazon during application, guaranteeing high and stable efficacy compared to similar products.
Does not require the use of adjuvants or partner herbicides, simplifying the protection technology and reducing costs.
High selectivity and a wide application window allow flexible adaptation of the protection system to specific growing conditions, ensuring optimal results.
