CENTRIS

Targeted Grass Weed Control

The systemic herbicide "Centris" is a specialized tool for managing annual and perennial grass weeds in fodder beet, soybean, and sunflower crops. Developed through the manufacturing capabilities of Yangzhou Pioneer Chemical (China) under the Superus brand, this clethodim-based product is a proven, selective solution for post-emergence weed control.

Technological Advantages

Clethodim, the active ingredient, belongs to the cyclohexanedione class. It functions by inhibiting lipid synthesis in the meristematic tissues of grasses, leading to a rapid cessation of weed growth. As a selective post-emergence herbicide, "Centris" operates precisely without stressing the target crops, provided the application protocols are followed.

• Systemic Action: The product is rapidly absorbed through the leaf surface and translocated to the growing points, destroying both the foliage and the root system, which is crucial for controlling stubborn perennials like couch grass.
• Application Flexibility: The emulsifiable concentrate formulation is easy to dose and compatible with most tank mixes, allowing agronomists to optimize field management.
• Dosage and Timing: With application rates of 0.2–0.8 l/ha, "Centris" provides high efficiency. A critical limitation is the maximum of one application per season, necessitating careful selection of the growth stage for optimal results.

Market Reputation

Distributed in Ukraine by Rangoli, the product has solidified its place in the market as a reliable, cost-effective plant protection solution from China.
