Partnership to control weeds
Bicep II Magnum contains two active ingredients, S-metolachlor and atrazine, which are both reliable and effective. Together, they are powerful and superactive.
BENEFITS
There are two main advantages to these combined active ingredients. Firstly, they control a broader spectrum of weeds. Secondly, they make the likelihood of encountering weed resistance smaller.
No till - no problem
As zero-tillage becomes increasingly common in the efforts to prevent soil erosion, it is important for herbicides to be effective when applied to fields with dead vegetation on the surface of the soil, left from the previous harvest.
Bicep II Magnum has the ability to burn down established weeds before entering the soil. It focuses its activity in the first three inches of soil, where grass weeds germinate. It binds to the soil particles a feature which prevents it from leaching away into the groundwater. An additional environmental benefit of Bicep II Magnum is that evaporatation hardly occurs.
PERFORMANCE & ACTIVITY
Strong on weeds and grasses, gentle to the crop, and proven to keep fields cleaner longer than the competition, Bicep II Magnum provides growers with the weed control needed year after year.
Versatile application and multiple modes of action
Bicep II Magnum has versatile modes of action, which allows it to be applied before, during or after planting. This provides flexibility to growers when planning their farm operations. The product is taken up by the roots or shoots, depending on the weed and works by inhibiting growth.
Effective – even in wet, cool conditions
Bicep II Magnum has unsurpassed crop safety, even in cool, wet weather. This is thanks to its special safener, which helps protect crop seedlings from injury without affecting weed control. The safener stays in the same soil layer as the active ingredients during substantial rainfall, making Bicep II Magnum one of the safest pre-emergence corn herbicides available. In corn, for example, the safener works by preventing S-metolachlor from building up within the crop during slow periods of growth.
Bicep II Magnum is used to control a wide variety of durable grasses and broadleaf weeds in corn and forage sorghum (when the seeds are treated with CONCEP III)
