Принципал® Gold – Modern control of grass and broadleaf weeds in maize

Weed control in maize is key to protecting yields, and Principal® Gold from Corteva Agriscience offers the best solution for complete weed control with a single treatment.

Effectiveness and selectivity in one

Principal® Gold combines three active substances that act synergistically to destroy a broad spectrum of weeds, including johnsongrass from rhizomes and creeping thistle. Thanks to the safener in its composition, the product guarantees 100% selectivity for maize and can be applied up to the 9th leaf stage, which provides flexibility in weed control.

Application rate
The recommended application rate of Principal® Gold is 48 g/da with the addition of the adjuvant VivoLt™ 90 – 0.1%. This ensures maximum penetration and rapid action against weeds.

Outstanding results in the field

The past 2024 agricultural season showed that Principal® Gold successfully controls weeds even under challenging climatic conditions.

In trials conducted at the Agricultural University – Plovdiv, Principal® Gold demonstrated excellent effectiveness, with weeds being completely destroyed by the 14th day after treatment. Even at high weed infestation levels, the product provides full control with a single treatment.

Advantages of Principal® Gold:

• A single herbicide for the control of broadleaf and grass weeds
• Wide application window – from the 2nd to the 9th leaf stage
• Rapid initial effect, visible as early as the 2nd day after spraying
• Suitable for early post-emergence weed control without the use of a soil-applied herbicide
• Suitable for corrective treatment after soil-applied herbicides
• No restrictions for subsequent crops in the crop rotation

Principal® Gold is the best choice for farmers seeking reliable protection of maize against weeds, even under difficult conditions.
