Antigrass M-Zorya

Effective grass weed control: the mechanism of "Antigrass M-Zorya"

In intensive farming, controlling grass weeds requires a selective and precise approach. "Antigrass M-Zorya" is a joint solution from the Ukrainian manufacturers "Agrokhimikat" and NVP "Zorya," designed as a systemic tool to combat the most aggressive annual and perennial grasses.

Active ingredient and selectivity

The product is based on Quizalofop-P-ethyl (the aryloxyphenoxypropionate group). Unlike non-selective herbicides, "Antigrass M-Zorya" works selectively, which is critical when applied to rapeseed, soybean, sunflower, and fodder beet crops. The product is rapidly absorbed by the weed's leaf surface and translocated to growth points, where it blocks lipid synthesis. As a result, weed growth stops within hours of application, and complete control is achieved within 1–3 weeks.

Key advantages

• Systemic activity: The herbicide effectively suppresses couch grass, wild oats, barnyard grass, and foxtail by penetrating deep into the rhizomes of perennial weeds.
• Flexible application: As an emulsifiable concentrate, it is easy to measure and mix. The application rate range (0.4–1.2 L/ha) allows for adjustments based on the level of weed infestation.
• Crop safety: When following the post-emergence application schedule, the herbicide does not inhibit the development of the main crop, making it an ideal choice for insurance spraying.

Application details

"Antigrass M-Zorya" is designed for a single precision strike. The guidelines permit only one maximum application per season. This requires the agronomist to accurately identify the weed growth stage: the best effect is achieved during the active growth phase (from 2–4 leaves to the tillering stage). Note: The product is classified as Hazard Class 3, requiring standard personal protective equipment when handling concentrated solutions.

Who is this herbicide for? Primarily for farmers looking for high-quality domestic alternatives to imported protection agents. It is a reliable choice for operations growing oilseeds and technical crops that face significant competitive pressure from grass weeds.
