Bomber, RK, (Dicamba dibromide, 300 g/l)

Technical Profile of the Active Ingredient

Bomber, SL (300 g/l Dicamba dibromide) is a high-concentration aqueous solution designed for systemic weed control. The active component is a benzoic acid derivative that acts as a synthetic auxin. On a cellular level, the herbicide mimics natural plant growth hormones, inducing uncontrolled cell division and structural deformation. This physiological disruption leads to the total collapse of the weed's vascular system and terminal inhibition of growth.

Systemic Action Mechanics

As a post-emergence herbicide, Bomber excels in its ability to penetrate the leaf cuticle. The dibromide formulation ensures high solubility within the tank mix, facilitating easy absorption. Once inside the plant, the active ingredient exhibits strong translocation properties, moving through both the phloem and xylem. This allows the herbicide to reach the deep root systems of target weeds, effectively preventing secondary regrowth, which is a major advantage over purely contact-based herbicides.

Agrotechnical Advantages

• Deep Translocation: Unlike contact herbicides that only affect the leaf surface, Bomber moves throughout the plant to destroy the root system.
• Dual Functionality: The product serves effectively as both a selective post-emergence herbicide and a harvest aid (desiccant) for sunflower crops, assisting in uniform drying.
• Optimized Formulation: The aqueous solution provides excellent stability in the spray tank, ensuring consistent coverage and easy handling during large-scale field operations.

The product, manufactured by F.Superus Co., requires precise application timing relative to weed growth stages. During active metabolism, the movement of Dicamba within the weed is accelerated, leading to faster knockdown. When applied correctly under the guidelines provided by APK-Service, Bomber provides reliable protection without causing phytotoxic stress to the sunflower crop.
