BERTHOUD announces a solution to the problem of avoiding phytotoxic effects on corn with its innovative SNIPER technology.

Sulfonylurea herbicides are an effective and cost-efficient component of tank mixtures for weed control in corn crops. However, their untimely and incorrect use can lead to yield losses of up to 20% or more.

Even under favorable conditions for corn growth, herbicide stress during the formation of rows on the cob can negatively affect yields, and it becomes impossible to correct this situation.

SNIPER is an innovative technology for spot, targeted and localized spraying, in which the working solution of herbicides gets only on the weed, avoiding the impact on the crop plants.

The report states that the use of this technology can reduce herbicide consumption by 40-80%, reduce crop stress by 80%, preserve yields at 15-30%, slow down the emergence of weed resistance and increase spraying performance.
