Capreo Protect, RK (imazapir, 33 g/l + imazamox, 15 g/l)

Synergy of imidazolinones in crop protection

The effectiveness of weed control in soybean and sunflower (imidazolinone-resistant) crops depends directly on the active ingredient's ability to penetrate the plant's metabolic processes. Capreo Protect, SL contains two key components: imazapyr (33 g/L) and imazamox (15 g/L). This combination provides not only rapid absorption through the leaf surface but also sustained residual soil activity.

Technical aspects of action

The systemic mechanism of this herbicide is based on blocking the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme. Unlike contact herbicides, this combination inhibits the synthesis of essential amino acids, leading to an immediate halt in weed growth. Due to its formulation as a soluble concentrate (SL), the product features excellent adhesion and stability when preparing the tank mix. Special attention should be paid to selectivity: the product acts selectively, preserving the target crop when application guidelines are followed.

Field performance benefits

• Comprehensive coverage: Imazapyr provides tough control of problematic species such as common lambsquarters, redroot pigweed, common ragweed, and perennial sowthistle.
• Prolonged effect: The presence of imazapyr creates a soil "screen" that prevents the germination of new weed flushes for a certain period after application.
• Flexibility: As a post-emergence herbicide, Capreo Protect allows for effective intervention in heavily infested fields, even when weeds have progressed beyond the cotyledon stage.

Manufactured by Hangzhou Ruijiang Chemical Co., Ltd., this herbicide is a professional-grade tool. When applied once, it minimizes the chemical burden on the field while ensuring cleanliness during critical growth stages. It is essential to note that high biological activity requires strict adherence to dosage rates and crop rotation planning, as imidazolinones possess significant residual soil activity.
