Pontos is a herbicide from BASF in the form of a suspension concentrate (SC) for pre-emergence and post-emergence treatment. It controls both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds in winter wheat, winter triticale, winter barley, and winter rye.

🌱 Main Advantages

✅ Pre-emergence (soil action) and post-emergence (foliar action)
✅ Broad spectrum of activity – grasses and broadleaf weeds
✅ Two active ingredients with complementary modes of action (Flufenacet + Picolinafen)
✅ Compatible with other herbicides – high flexibility
✅ Low application rate per hectare – economical
✅ Easy to use thanks to SC formulation

⚗️ Active Ingredients

✅ Flufenacet (Oxyacetamide) – 240 g/L (20.98%)
✅ Picolinafen (Pyridinecarboxamide) – 100 g/L (8.74%)

🧪 Mode of Action (Brief)

✅ Uptake through roots and above-ground plant parts
✅ Growth inhibition, followed by discoloration and death of weeds
✅ Best effect at the 2–3 leaf stage of weeds
✅ Dry conditions can reduce pre-emergence effectiveness

🌿 Sensitivities (Examples)

Pre-emergence – sensitive: ✅ Field pansy, shepherd’s purse, chickweed, blackgrass, Persian speedwell, chamomile, shepherd’s purse
Pre-emergence – moderate: ⚠️ Corn poppy, scentless chamomile, cleavers, volunteer oilseed rape, cornflower
Post-emergence – sensitive: ✅ Field pansy, shepherd’s purse, chickweed, blackgrass, Persian speedwell, chamomile, cleavers, volunteer oilseed rape, shepherd’s purse, corn poppy
Post-emergence – moderate: ⚠️ Scentless chamomile, quackgrass

💧 Application & Dosage

✅ Crops: Winter wheat, winter triticale, winter barley, winter rye
✅ Timing: Autumn, BBCH 00–29 (from sowing to end of tillering)
✅ Application rate: 0.5–1.0 L/ha (max. 1.0 L/ha)
✅ Equipment: Field sprayer; even application; no incorporation

⚠️ Practical Notes

✅ Adjust dose according to soil type and weed infestation (higher on heavy/organic-rich soils)
✅ Do not apply on light, sandy, stony, or flooded soils
✅ Cover seed ≥ 2.5 cm, avoid heavy rain/frost periods
