Advanced Weed Control for Sunflowers

"Kentavr", developed by the Ukrainian company "Aquarius and K", is a systemic post-emergence herbicide specifically formulated for sunflower hybrids resistant to imidazolinones. This product leverages the synergistic combination of imazamox and imapazyr to provide comprehensive protection against various broad-leaved weeds. Its dual-action mechanism ensures that weeds are eradicated upon contact while maintaining residual soil activity to manage secondary flushes.

Target Weeds and Efficacy

Kentavr is recognized for its selectivity and high efficiency in controlling some of the most persistent weeds encountered in agricultural fields, including:

• Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia)
• Common lambsquarters and redroot pigweed
• Field mustard and shepherd's purse
• Cleavers
• Perennial sowthistle

Formulated as a suspension concentrate, the herbicide offers excellent stability and optimal coverage. Once applied, the systemic components are absorbed by the weed's foliage and translocated throughout the plant, disrupting amino acid synthesis and ensuring rapid control.

Application Guidelines

The recommended application rate ranges from 1.0 to 2.0 liters per hectare, depending on weed density and the development stage of the target plants. Designed for use on tolerant sunflower hybrids only, the herbicide should be applied post-emergence. Users must limit application to one treatment per growing season. Classified as a Hazard Class 3 product, Kentavr is a reliable tool for professional farmers when handled according to standard agricultural safety protocols.
