Effective Grass Weed Control

Centurion, EC by Arysta LifeScience is a proven tool for controlling grass weeds, established as a standard in crop protection. Its primary role is the thorough elimination of both annual and perennial grasses (including quackgrass) that compete with broadleaf crops for light, nutrients, and moisture.

Why Agronomists Rely on Clethodim

The active ingredient, clethodim, provides systemic action: the herbicide is absorbed by the leaf surface and translocated to the growing points, including rhizomes. This is crucial for managing perennial weeds that cannot be controlled by contact herbicides. Standard application scenarios include protection for soybeans, canola, sunflowers, flax, peas, and various beet types.

Practical Application Insights

• Timing: As a post-emergence herbicide, Centurion is most effective when weeds are actively growing (2–6 leaf stage for annuals, 10–15 cm height for quackgrass).
• Dosage: Depending on the weed spectrum and density, application rates range from 0.2 to 0.8 L/ha. Note: only one application per season is allowed.
• Selectivity: The product exhibits high selectivity, targeting only grass species. This allows for safe use on a variety of broadleaf crops, including garlic and vegetable groups.
