Composition and formulation

The herbicide is produced by the German company BASF. "Stomp" is a soil herbicide with which many weeds of 1-year-old 2-cotyledonous and cereal species can be destroyed.Does not work on perennial and adult weeds. The active substance is pendimethalin in the amount of 330 g per 1 liter. Release form - concentrated emulsion. Packing - 1 l and 10 and 20 l.

Working principle

"Stomp" is a soil pre-emergence herbicide. It is used after sowing, before germination and after germination. Pendimethalin from the solution is absorbed by the roots and shoots of weeds. Weeds die as soon as they germinate, plants with 1-2 leaves also die. Herbicide protection lasts 3-6 weeks.

Action spectrum

Stomp herbicide treats vegetables (tomato and cabbage in the seedling stage, potatoes), root crops (carrots), legumes (peas and soybeans), garlic, sunflower, corn, parsley.

Using Stomp herbicide

Apply herbicide in the morning, in dry weather, when there is no wind. Such conditions increase the processing efficiency.The effectiveness of the preparation is affected by the level of tillage, its composition and weather conditions. The consumption of the solution depends on the combination of these factors. In areas with fertile soil, in hot and dry weather, use the maximum amount of the drug recommended by the instructions.

It is advisable to apply in moist soil, but not before heavy rain. The substance may be washed down into the soil, and the result of the treatment will be greatly reduced. A decrease in efficiency is also observed at temperatures below 10 ˚С. It is not recommended to apply the herbicide at temperatures below 5 ˚С and above 25 ˚С. If the solution is embedded in the ground, it must be done no later than a week after applying to the surface.

Application rate (in liters per ha) for potatoes - 5 liters, for other crops - 3-6 liters, for root parsley and onions - 2.5-4.5 liters. It is necessary to spend 200-300 liters per 1 ha, one-time processing, the waiting period for vegetables is 2 months.

It is impossible to spray the drug by aviation, use it in household plots and around ponds with fish. "Stomp" is not phytotoxic if used in the doses recommended by the instructions. Pendimethalin is almost completely decomposed in the soil by autumn and does not adversely affect crops planted in the next season.
