Gersotil w.r.g.

Advanced Weed Control for Cereal Crops

"Gersotil w.r.g." is a selective, systemic, post-emergence herbicide designed for the professional protection of winter and spring cereal crops. Manufactured by Sunrise Agrochemical Co., Ltd (China), this product has established itself as a reliable solution within the tribenuron-methyl segment, offering agronomists a precise tool for managing weed pressure in intensive wheat and barley production systems.

Mode of Action and Technical Profile

The active ingredient, tribenuron-methyl, targets the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme in susceptible weeds, effectively halting cell division and stopping growth within hours of application. Complete weed mortality is achieved within 10 to 15 days. The formulation as water-dispersible granules (w.r.g.) ensures rapid dissolution and excellent compatibility with standard tank mixes, preventing nozzle clogging and ensuring uniform field coverage.

Target Spectrum

This herbicide provides consistent control over the most problematic broad-leaved weeds that threaten crop yields by competing for vital nutrients and moisture:

• Common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album) and field pennycress;
• Shepherd's purse and common chickweed;
• Cleavers (Galium aparine) and knotweed varieties;
• Scentless mayweed.

With an application rate of 0.015–0.025 kg/ha, Gersotil represents a cost-effective strategy for large-scale operations. A single application per season is typically sufficient to maintain weed-free fields during the crop's most vulnerable growth stages.

Application Insights

Gersotil is classified as a Hazard Class 3 product, requiring standard safety protocols during handling and application. As a leaf-absorbed herbicide, it demonstrates maximum efficacy in temperatures ranging from +5°C to +25°C. Optimal results are obtained when treating weeds at early growth stages (cotyledon to 4-leaf stage). Distributed in the region by Khimagromarketing, the product is backed by technical support and wide availability, making it a staple choice for sustainable and high-yield farming practices in cereal production.
