Professional weed control solutions by Himagromarketing

In modern intensive farming, managing weed competition is critical for yield optimization. Etaforon, WG, produced by the Ukrainian company Himagromarketing, is a targeted post-emergence herbicide designed specifically for the protection of winter rapeseed and sunflower crops.

Active ingredient and mode of action

The product utilizes ethametsulfuron-methyl as its active component. Belonging to the sulfonylurea class, this herbicide acts systemically, inhibiting the biosynthesis of essential amino acids within the weeds. As a post-emergence (leaf-applied) solution, it offers significant flexibility to agronomists, allowing them to apply treatment based on the actual weed pressure observed in the field.

• Formulation: Supplied as water-dispersible granules (WG), the product ensures excellent mixing stability and solubility, which is essential for creating high-quality tank mixtures.
• Systemic Efficacy: Being a systemic agent, it travels through the plant tissues to reach growing points, ensuring deep control of even resilient weed species.
• Usage Guidelines: Recommended application rates range from 2.0 to 3.0 l/ha, with a maximum of one application per season, adhering to a Hazard Class 3 rating.
