Offers post-emergence control of broadleaf and narrowleaf weeds
The current situation of weed control in this crop, marked by the drop in important active substances or the restriction of many others, makes the arrival of Hector® very good news for farmers and technicians. Thanks to its wide spectrum of control, flexibility of use, high selectivity and being a tool that does not condition crop rotation, it is a very interesting solution for corn cultivation.
Corn is a crop with an important commercial crop. The main corn-producing Autonomous Communities are Castilla y León (27.42% of total production), Aragón (20%) and Galicia (19.82%). These three are followed by Catalonia (11.52%) and Extremadura (4.61%).
Hector® is formulated with three active substances, which allow weed control to be addressed with two differentiated modes of action: ALS inhibitors, HRAC group 2 (nicosulfuron and rimsulfuron) and synthetic auxins, HRAC group 4 (dicamba).
Furthermore, to improve its selectivity, Hector® incorporates the protector Isoxadifen-ethyl, which improves the crop’s tolerance to the herbicide by boosting the action of the GSTs and P450 enzymes. This protector allows you to safely combine this product with Vivolt® (non-ionic wetting agent), without affecting the productive potential of the crop.
In near future Corteva will launch Dragster®*, Emir®* and Lortama®* “Rinskor™ active, new tools that, together with Hector® and Arigo®, will allow Corteva to have a very complete portfolio of corn herbicides, helping the farmer in protecting your crop and improving its profitability.
