AGROKIPPER, KE, HERBICIDE

Mechanism of Action and Selectivity

AGROKIPPER, EC is a systemic graminicide based on quizalofop-P-ethyl. Unlike non-selective herbicides, this substance belongs to the aryloxyphenoxypropionate group, which acts as an acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitor. In practical terms, this means blocking fatty acid synthesis in the meristematic tissues of grass weeds. Due to its systemic nature, the product rapidly translocates from the leaf blade to the growth points and root system, which is critical for controlling perennial couch grass (Agropyron repens).

Technical Composition

The emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation is engineered for high adhesion and rapid penetration through the leaf's epicuticular wax. The herbicide selectively targets grass weeds without damaging main crops such as soy, sunflower, rapeseed, or potatoes. As a post-emergence herbicide, the primary factor for efficacy is the weed growth stage: optimal results are achieved when treating at the 2–4 true leaf stage.

Operational Recommendations

• Systemic Control: Highly effective against a wide range of annual and perennial grass weeds.
• Application Flexibility: Foliar application allows for targeted control during the crop's active growth phase.
• Safety: Classified as Hazard Class 3, requiring standard protective measures when handling chemical agents.

The manufacturing chain integrates international standards from TRUSTCHEM (Nanjing) and Shanghai MIO Chemical with local expertise from AgroMaxi, ensuring consistent performance for field applications.
