Tanaris® – the new herbicide for weed control in pre and post emergence in oilseed rape

Abstract

With the Product Tanaris® BASF introduces a broadly effective herbicide for weed control in winter oilseed rape. Tanaris® is used at a dose rate of 1.5 l/ha and contains the active substances Dimethenamid-P (333 g/l) and Quinmerac (167 g/l). With the combination of both actives, the product is delivering high activity on most oilseed rape key weeds such as mayweeds, deadnettles and speedwell. Especially the high effectivity on cleavers and cranesbill species needs to be emphasized. Further Tanaris® is highly selective in oilseed rape in pre and post emergence. Currently Tanaris® is evaluated for registration; a registration in Germany is expected for 2016.
