Advantages
effectively suppresses annual dicotyledonous and some cereal weeds at an early stage of their development;
perfectly compatible in tank mixes with other herbicides to expand the spectrum of action;
exhibits rapid herbicidal effect.
Formulation
Concentrate emulsion containing 60 g/l fenmedifam + 60 g/l desmedifam + 60 g/l ethofumesate
Mode of action
The drug disrupts photosynthesis and protein metabolism in weeds. Fenmedifam and desmedifam penetrate through the leaves and have translaminar action, preventing photosynthesis. Ethofumesate penetrates through roots and leaves and has a systemic effect, disrupting mitosis in weed cells.
Period of protective action
Determined by the appearance of the second "wave" of weeds.
Speed of exposure
Weed growth stops within one day after treatment. Visible symptoms of herbicide action on weeds appear 3-4 days after treatment.
Spectrum of action
Annual dicotyledonous and some cereal weeds
susceptible species: common cocklebur, Veronica (species), groundsel (species), field mustard, lesser swine-cress, common teasel, medicinal enchanter's nightshade, various thistles, intermediate hawkbit, spring crucifer, spreading lambsquarters, smartweeds (species), various milkweeds, awned oatgrass, field forget-me-not, black nightshade, shepherd's purse, chickweed (species), catchfly, pennycress thyme-leaved, common cudweed, field pansy, oraches, field woundwort.
moderately susceptible species: blue cornflower, field vetch, wild chamomile, Soja beanweed, cutleaf groundcherry, prickly lettuce, mayweed chamomile, green foxtail, oats, wormwood, various goosegrasses, purslane.
weakly susceptible species: common cocklebur, field bindweed, Virginia creeper, various dandelions, plantains (species), meadow buttercup, perennial sowthistle, creeping bent, common dandelion, scentless mayweed.
Compatibility
To expand the spectrum of action, it is recommended to use in tank mixes. Compatible with a number of herbicides such as Furex, Lorneth, Panther, Forward, Mitron and others used on sugar beet crops. Before application, check for physicochemical compatibility.
Possibility of resistance development
The possibility of resistance development has not been identified.
Application technology. Procedure for preparing the working fluid
Prepare a working solution immediately before use. Measure the required amount of product per one tank refill. First, prepare a concentrated emulsion of the product in a separate container. Fill a separate container with 1/4 water, then add the measured amount of the product, mix thoroughly, and top up with water to 3/4 of the volume (concentration of stock solution is 50-70% by product). Then prepare the working solution as follows: fill the sprayer tank with about half the water, pour in the concentrated emulsion of the product, add water to a full volume, and mix the working fluid mechanically. At the same time, rinse several times with water the container in which the concentrated emulsion was prepared.
When using tank mixes of herbicides, prepare the working solution according to the recommendations for each specific product. It is not allowed to add other products to the concentrated emulsion (stock solution).
Prepare a working solution and fill up the sprayer on special sites that are subsequently neutralized.
Ground boom sprayers such as OPSH-15-01, OP-2000-2-01, etc., are used for spraying.
Optimal result and the fastest herbicidal effect of the product are achieved:
when treating crops in early phases of weed development;
under most favorable weather conditions. The optimal air temperature is no higher than 250C. Do not spray beets weakened by frost, heat, pests.
Phytotoxicity
May exhibit phytotoxicity for sugar beet plants when applied under high air temperatures (above 25°C), and also if the plants are in a state of stress (frosts etc.). It is safer to use the herbicide during morning and evening hours.
Recommendations for the protection of useful objects of flora and fauna
