Biter Extra

Synergistic Protection for Field Crops

"Biter Extra" from "Expoprodkom" is a highly specialized agricultural solution that integrates the functions of a selective herbicide and a systemic fungicidal protector. The technical sophistication of this product lies in its complex active ingredient profile, where a triad of desmedipham, phenmedipham, and ethofumesate acts as a post-emergence herbicide, while tebuconazole targets fungal pathogens.

Technical Breakdown of the Formulation

• Herbicide Group (Carbamates and Benzofuran Derivatives): This combination ensures high selectivity when treating fodder beet crops. The mechanism of action inhibits the photosynthesis of annual dicotyledonous weeds. Due to its systemic nature, the product is rapidly translocated through the weed's vascular system, blocking further development shortly after application.
• Fungicide Component (Tebuconazole): The inclusion of this triazole compound allows for the control of a wide spectrum of diseases in cereal crops—ranging from rusts to septoria and helminthosporium root rot. This technical integration allows agronomists to optimize field operations by combining weed and pathogen management into a single application cycle.

Operational Specifications

The product is formulated as a suspension concentrate, which ensures the stability of the working solution during storage. The application rate ranges from 2.0 to 3.0 L/ha, depending on the phytosanitary status of the field and the growth stage of the crop. A critical operational requirement is the single-application limit: the systemic nature of the product necessitates precise timing to maximize biological efficacy while minimizing the risk of phytotoxicity.

Operating under toxicity class 3, the product requires standard personal protective equipment. The foliar application method ensures immediate contact with the vegetative mass, which is critical for the rapid suppression of leaf spots and root rots, particularly under conditions of high humidity.
