Pontos is a weedkiller 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 (leaf action)
✅ Broad spectrum of action – grasses and broadleaf plants
✅ Two active substances with complementary modes of action (Flufenacet + Picolinafen)
✅ Mixable with other weedkillers – high flexibility
✅ Low application rate per hectare – economical
✅ Easy application thanks to SC formulation

⚗️ Active Substances

✅ 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 stop, followed by discoloration and death of weeds
✅ Best effect at the 2–3 leaf stage of the weeds
✅ Dryness can reduce the pre-emergence effect
