Grinfort AX 900

Mechanism and Selectivity

Grinfort AX 900 utilizes acetochlor, a systemic active ingredient from the chloroacetanilide chemical class. As a soil-applied herbicide, it effectively disrupts cell division and protein synthesis in the meristems of target weeds. The core technical advantage lies in creating a preventative barrier in the upper soil layer, neutralizing germinating broadleaf and annual grass weeds before they ever reach the soil surface.

Technical Specifications

• Active Ingredient: Acetochlor, 900 g/L. The emulsion concentrate formulation ensures high stability of the tank mix and uniform distribution across the field during application.
• Selectivity: The product is highly selective for soybeans, sunflowers, and corn. These crops possess enzymatic mechanisms to neutralize acetochlor, allowing for pre-emergence application without crop stress or growth retardation.
• Dosage: Application rates range from 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha, depending on soil type and weed pressure. Heavier soils with higher organic matter content typically require rates closer to the upper limit to maintain effective soil coverage.

Application Best Practices

To maximize the efficacy of this «Ukragrokom» herbicide, precision in seedbed preparation is vital. The field surface should be fine-crumbed and level to ensure an unbroken herbicide barrier. The optimal timing for application is immediately after planting but before crop emergence. Given its classification as a Category 2 hazard product, strict adherence to personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements and environmental regulations is required during mixing and application.
