Product details

Bentagran Top 240EC is a powerful, selective, post-emergent herbicide specifically designed to manage annual unwanted plants in crops such as beans and French beans. Its advanced formulation as an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) ensures ease of application and efficacy, making it a preferred choice among farmers aiming to protect their crops from invasive growth.

Active Ingredients

This herbicide combines three potent active ingredients, each playing a critical role in controlling unwanted plants:

Bentazone (150 g/L): A contact herbicide primarily absorbed through the leaves. It inhibits photosynthesis in the targeted growths, effectively halting their development.

Fomesafen (70 g/L): A selective herbicide absorbed by both leaves and roots, impacting essential enzymatic functions and leading to the death of undesired flora.

Quizalofop-p-ethyl (20 g/L): A systemic herbicide that moves through the plant, accumulating in meristematic tissues, where it disrupts fatty acid synthesis essential for the development of grassy growths.

Target Unwanted Flora

Bentagran Top 240EC is highly effective against a variety of undesired plants, including:

Annual broadleaf growths

Grassy invaders

Sedges

Some examples of common undesired flora it controls are:

Chickweed (Stellaria media)

Goosegrass (Eleusine indica)

Spurge (Euphorbia spp.)

Application Guidelines

Bentagran Top 240EC must be applied post-emergence when undesired growths are actively growing. This ensures the herbicide is absorbed effectively for optimal results. Key points to consider include:

Dosage: Use 2.5 ml per liter of water for uniform application.

Method: Apply the herbicide using a sprayer for even coverage over the undesired flora foliage or soil surface.

Timing: Best applied when undesired growths are at an early stage for maximum control.

Re-Entry Interval: Allow 24 hours before re-entering treated areas to ensure safety.

Resistance Management

To prevent resistance development among undesired plant populations, rotate Bentagran Top 240EC with herbicides from other chemical families. Additionally, incorporate cultural practices such as crop rotation, manual clearing, and maintaining soil health to enhance overall plant management strategies.

Advantages

Selective Action: Targets undesired plants without causing damage to beans and French beans.

Broad Spectrum Control: Effective against a range of undesired species, including broadleaf and grassy growths.

Ease of Use: The emulsifiable concentrate formulation ensures easy mixing and consistent application.

Crop-Specific Efficacy: Particularly suited for bean crops, ensuring improved yields.

Safety and Environmental Precautions

When handling Bentagran Top 240EC, always wear protective clothing, gloves, and masks to reduce exposure. Avoid applying it near water sources to prevent runoff and contamination. Adhering to environmental safety guidelines helps ensure the sustainability of this herbicide's use.

Conclusion

Bentagran Top 240EC is a valuable ally for farmers looking to safeguard their bean and French bean fields from annual unwanted plant interference. With its combination of powerful active ingredients and user-friendly application, it promotes healthier crops and better yields. By following recommended practices and integrating it into a broader management plan, farmers can maximize its benefits while mitigating environmental risks.
