Overview
About this product
Objective is a contact herbicide with oxyfluorfen 240 g/L in an emulsifiable concentrate against annual broadleaf weeds. Oxyfluorfen enters the weeds through the leaves, or through the emerging shoots after a soil treatment, and needs light to act: the leaves lose their colour, wilt and dry out.
Sunflower is treated once at 0.8–1.0 l/ha by spraying the soil after sowing before emergence. On onion grown for bulbs, up to three treatments are made at rates of 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 l/ha: the first at the 1–2 leaf stage, the following ones at intervals of 7–10 days.
