Trooper

Trooper is a herbicide with residual and contact activity for the control of black-grass, annual grasses and broad leaved weeds in winter wheat and winter barley.

Benefits

  • Particularly effective for black-grass control and the control of broad-leaved weeds
  • Low risk formulation, particularly useful where there is resistance to ALS inhibitors
  • Pendimethalin complements the grass weed activity of flufenacet
  • Strong pre-em allows flexibility for the post-em follow-up

Why Trooper?


Why Trooper®?

Trooper® has been found to give the best start to black-grass programmes, providing the crucial flufenacet partner as well as pendimethalin.

Trooper® is an emulsifiable concentrate containing 60g/l of flufenacet and 300g/l of pendimethalin. This herbicide has particular strength pre-emergence for the control of black-grass.

The flufenacet component in Trooper® provides the cornerstone for grass weed control whilst the pendimethalin component provides control of the key broad-leaved weeds: chickweed, poppy, mayweed, ivy and common leaved speedwell.

Pendimethalin complements the grass weed activity of flufenacet by providing strong residual control of later germinating weeds.


For best results with pre-emergence applications:

  • Timing is crucial. Spray within 48 hours of drilling ideally on to moist, clod-free and consolidated seedbeds where seed is adequately covered by a suitable depth of settled soil
  • Where drainage, seedbeds and seed depth are good Trooper® can be applied pre-emergence until the end of November. After which, apply Trooper® at one leaf of the crop, to minimise risk of crop damage by heavy rainfall

Excellent control of black-grass

In trials, the effectiveness of Trooper® was tested against Liberator®. Results showed a 9% reduction in black-grass headcount control relative to Liberator®.

Trooper® has been found to give the best start to black-grass programmes, providing the crucial flufenacet partner, as well as pendimethalin.


Trooper® is the best start for ryegrass control

Control of ryegrass & brome

A pre and post-emergence spray programme is needed for best control of ryegrass and brome. Pendimethalin and flufenacet are two of the strongest pre-emergence actives, with pendimethalin having the best residual properties for these weeds. Having a strong pre-emergence active allows more flexibility for post-emergence follow-up.
