Synergy of Active Ingredients: How "Famestra" Works

The core advantage of the "Famestra" herbicide by Keminova lies in the precise combination of florasulam and tribenuron-methyl. This duo effectively covers the limitations of single-component products, creating a robust shield against a wide spectrum of dicotyledonous weeds in winter and spring cereals. Florasulam acts as an inhibitor of the acetolactate synthase enzyme, effectively halting weed growth at the cellular level, while tribenuron-methyl complements this by rapidly stopping cell division in growth points.

Technical Efficiency and Application

The water-suspension concentrate formulation ensures excellent solution stability in the tank and uniform distribution across the leaf surface. The product exhibits strong systemic action: it penetrates the cuticle rapidly and translocates directly to the growth points, which is critical for controlling resilient weeds such as cleavers, field thistle, and common ragweed.

• Selectivity: The mode of action targets only harmful species, ensuring no phytotoxicity for wheat or barley crops.
• Resistance Management: Utilizing two active ingredients from different chemical classes significantly reduces the risk of weed adaptation and resistance.
• Economic Application: With a dosage rate of up to 25 grams/hectare, it allows for optimized logistics and minimized field equipment load.

Using "Famestra" is a pathway to a clean field strategy through a single application. As a post-emergence foliar herbicide, it is an ideal choice for addressing weed pressure exactly when it threatens the crop's nutrient and moisture intake, providing the reliability required for intensive grain farming.
