FAQ for RATNA-STRONG
What weeds does RATNA-STRONG control?
RATNA-STRONG controls broad-leaf weeds and sedge weeds in soybean through its selective ALS enzyme inhibitor pre-emergence systemic herbicidal activity with extended residual soil activity.
How does Diclosulam work?
Diclosulam inhibits acetohydroxy acid synthase (ALS/AHAS) enzyme, blocking branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis in susceptible broad-leaf and sedge weed species, causing slow systemic weed death.
When should RATNA-STRONG be applied in soybean?
Apply RATNA-STRONG pre-emergence to moist soil within 3 days of sowing, before weed seeds germinate. Adequate soil moisture is critical for good herbicidal activity from soil incorporation.
What is the residual activity of RATNA-STRONG?
Diclosulam provides extended soil residual activity of 45–60 days, reducing the need for early post-emergence herbicide applications during the critical early soybean crop establishment period.
Is RATNA-STRONG safe for soybean?
Yes, RATNA-STRONG is selective for soybean due to rapid ALS enzyme recovery in soybean. Apply at recommended rates and timing for maximum crop safety and weed control performance.
