Benefits

  • Removes weed competition early, helping the crop get off to the best start
  • Provides long-lasting and reliable control of key broad-leaved weeds
  • Provides a great start to black-grass management, reducing the pressure on fops and dims
  • Provides reliability in dry conditions due to multiple points of uptake by the weed

Why Springbok?

Why Springbok®?

Springbok® is a residual herbicide containing dimethenamid-p and metazachlor that offers a unique weed range and consistent control in oilseed rape.

Springbok® works particularly well in dry conditions, which can be useful for general weed control in early sown crops. The product is taken up via cotyledons and roots and takes maximum effect before, or shortly after weed emergence. Optimum results are obtained from applications made to fine, firm and moist seedbeds.

Springbok® is highly effective for general weed control in oilseed rape and particularly for the control of crane’s-bill and shepherd’s purse, which can be competitive early on. The superior soil absorption of Springbok® means that the active ingredients remain present and active for longer.

More reliable control

Dimethenamid-P is taken up by both the roots and young shoots of the weed, whilst metazachlor is taken up by the roots. Dimethenamid-P is not so reliant on ‘chasing’ the roots down through the soil but waits for the shoots to reach it. Hence, Springbok® is less affected by drier conditions, a common occurrence in early autumn.
