Cheval is a premium pre-seed and post emergent herbicide that controls weeds in soybean and other crops

ADAMA Limited, one of the leading global crop protection companies, has announced the Brazilian launch of Cheval, a premium pre-seed and post emergent herbicide that controls weeds in soybean and other crops, providing valuable benefits to the farmer due to its unique formulation and long residual effect.

Cheval is powered by ADAMA’s proprietary T O V Formulation Technology which maximises the potential of its active ingredients improving their efficacy, providing a unique Weed Resistance Management (WRM) tool. The two modes of action in Cheval, Glufosinate and S-metolachlor, combine to prevent carryover weeds after burndown, while increasing the residual effect.

Germain Boulay, Global Head of Herbicides at ADAMA commented, “Cheval allows for better retention, spreading and foliar uptake, so farmers can spray with confidence, without concern for competition for their crops. We expect widespread use for Cheval in Brazilian soybean, cotton and corn crops, and look forward to launching it in other markets so this unique Weed Resistance Management tool can continue to simplify the lives of farmers,” he added.
