Demetra, KE, herbicide

Efficient Control of Stubborn Weeds

"Demetra, EC" by "Avgust-Bel" is a systemic post-emergence herbicide that agronomists choose for protecting cereal crops and onions. The main purpose of this product is the total control of broadleaf weeds that are highly resistant to other active ingredients, such as cleavers and field bindweed.

Why Choose Demetra?

The main active component, fluroxypyr-methyl, ensures high selectivity. Unlike many other herbicides, it remains effective even against overgrown weeds, which is critical if weather conditions have delayed the spraying schedule.

• Rapid absorption: The product is absorbed by leaf surfaces within an hour and quickly moves through the plant, leading to growth cessation and death of the weed.
• Application flexibility: The optimal consumption rate is 0.5–1.0 L/ha, depending on the weed infestation level of the field.
• Crop safety: As a selective herbicide, it does not stunt wheat or barley growth, allowing crops to thrive without competition for nutrients.

Practical Application Details

A single application per season is sufficient to achieve maximum results. It is important to remember that "Demetra" is a post-emergence herbicide; it should be applied to actively growing weeds. When working with onions or cereals, monitor the crop growth stages closely. The waiting period before harvesting is 60 days, allowing for late-season application if weed problems arise late in the development cycle.
