Grenader, WG herbicide

Mechanism of Action and Selectivity of "Grenader, WG"

"Grenader, WG" from "Agrokhimichni Tekhnologii" is based on the active ingredient tribenuron-methyl (750 g/kg). This is a systemic herbicide from the sulfonylurea group that blocks the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme in susceptible weeds. For an agronomist, this means cell division stops just hours after the product is absorbed, although visible symptoms (chlorosis, necrosis) appear within 1-2 weeks.

Why WG Formulation is a Technological Advantage

The "water-dispersible granules" formulation solves the main problem of traditional powders: dusting and uneven dissolution. Inside the sprayer tank, the granules dissolve instantly to form a homogeneous suspension. This is critical when treating winter wheat and barley, as it eliminates the risk of nozzle clogging and ensures precise dosage of the active ingredient onto the weed foliage.

Control Spectrum and Application Regulations

The herbicide demonstrates high selectivity, targeting a wide range of broad-leaved weeds. The list of "targets" includes hard-to-eradicate species such as common ragweed, field thistle, common lambsquarters, pigweed, shepherd's purse, common chickweed, and scentless mayweed.

• Application Phase: post-emergence control, focused on the active vegetation period of the crops.
• Efficiency: one application per season guarantees no competition from weeds during the tillering stage.
• Technology: systemic action allows the product to quickly penetrate meristematic tissues, blocking the growth of the weed root system.

The application rate (from 1.0 to 2.0 l/ha — note: refer to the label for specific solution concentrations based on weed pressure) requires strict adherence to temperature regimes and crop development stages. Classified as hazard class 3, standard safety measures must be followed when handling these agrochemicals.
