Fluence 75, WG, herbicide with surfactant Trend 90

Systemic Herbicide Technology for Sunflower

The «Fluence 75, WG» formulation, produced by FMS Ukraine, is based on the active ingredient Tribenuron-methyl at a concentration of 750 g/kg. As a systemic herbicide, it targets the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme in susceptible weed species. By inhibiting this enzyme, the product halts cell division, effectively neutralizing competition for nutrients and water in sunflower fields shortly after application.

Engineering Precise Application with Trend 90

A critical component of this herbicide system is the inclusion of the surfactant «Trend 90». Effective post-emergence weed control requires the active ingredient to penetrate the leaf surface efficiently. Trend 90 lowers the surface tension of the spray droplets, ensuring uniform spread and adhesion across the leaf cuticle. This is essential for controlling weeds with complex leaf structures, such as Common Ragweed or Pigweed, especially in variable environmental conditions.

Performance and Technical Specifications

• Action Profile: Selective, systemic herbicide for post-emergence use.
• Target Weeds: Targets include Common Ragweed, Field Sow-thistle, Cleavers, Field Pansy, and Shepherd's Purse.
• Formulation: Water-dispersible granules, optimized for high solubility and ease of preparation in tank mixes.
• Application Strategy: Designed for leaf-applied (post-emergence) application; maximum of 2 applications per season permitted.
• Safety Class: Category 3, requiring standard safety protocols for agricultural chemical handling.

By utilizing the systemic power of Tribenuron-methyl in combination with the penetration-enhancing capabilities of Trend 90, farmers can ensure a high level of crop protection while maintaining selectivity in sunflower fields.
