Centurion Profi, KE, herbicide

Why Centurion Profi has become the benchmark for grass control

In the ongoing battle against persistent field weeds like couch grass or cereal regrowth, farmers often face the issue of resistance. Arysta LifeScience’s product stands out from competitors due to its high concentration of the active ingredient—clethodim (240 g/l). Unlike many generic alternatives, this Japanese emulsifiable concentrate possesses a unique ability to penetrate weed meristematic tissues rapidly.

Strengths and Mechanism of Action

• Systemic Activity: The product is absorbed by the leaf surface and instantly translocates to growth points, blocking lipid synthesis. Effects are visible within days, with complete weed mortality achieved in 1–2 weeks.
• Selectivity: As a selective herbicide, it targets only grass species, ensuring crop safety for soybeans, sunflowers, or rapeseed.
• Flexibility: It functions perfectly as a post-emergence rescue treatment, allowing farmers to correct early-season crop protection errors.

Who is this product for?

Centurion Profi is the choice for professionals operating within intensive farming systems. It is optimal for operations where field cleanliness in soybeans and sunflowers is critical, as it controls both annual and difficult-to-eradicate perennial grasses in a single application. It is vital to note: the product requires strict adherence to dosage (0.5–1.0 l/ha) and thorough leaf coverage. The limitation of one treatment per season underscores its potent efficacy, making it most economically viable when applied during the period of maximum weed vulnerability.
