FEBRUARY 2026 UPDATE:
Oilseed rape crops going into the winter were looking good with large canopies and good crop cover. However, following the cold spell and snow in mid‑January, crops have opened up in places.
As spring approaches, with more exposed soils and on-going pigeon pressure, there is increased potential for further weed germination.
Autumn conditions were generally favourable and crops are likely to have received a good autumn herbicide programme for both broad‑leaved and grass weeds. Even so, it’s still important to assess weed levels and plan spring treatments where required. With continued canopy opening, warmer temperatures and high moisture levels, spring weed flushes are likely.
It’s important to take a programmed approach to weed control and a spring application is part of that. Korvetto is a simple, reliable spring herbicide for winter oilseed rape, combining two proven actives to deliver strong, fast control of key broad‑leaved weeds. It is easy to use, gentle on the crop, and fits well into typical spring workloads.
Key benefits include:
- Wide‑spectrum control of the weeds that matter most, including cleavers, mayweeds, cranesbill, thistles, fumitory and poppies.
- Two actives working together for more consistent results and support for resistance management.
- Performs well in typical spring conditions, from cool mornings to warmer days.
- Ideal for tidying up fields in the spring, especially where autumn treatments didn’t go to plan.
- Korvetto® mixes well with a large range of products, especially those required for canopy management or crop nutrition.
- Korvetto is the most broad-spectrum option, with two active ingredients – Arylex™ active and Clopyralid.
