MIURA, KE

Technical Overview of the Formulation

"MIURA, KE" is a systemic herbicide based on quizalofop-P-ethyl (125 g/l). Belonging to the aryloxyphenoxypropionate class, the active ingredient interferes with lipid biosynthesis, effectively shutting down growth centers in susceptible weed species. This makes it a crucial tool for selective weed management in broadleaf crops.

Selectivity and Systemic Efficacy

The primary technical advantage of this product is its high selectivity. The herbicide is rapidly absorbed by the foliage of grasses and translocated to the meristematic tissues, including rhizomes. Broadleaf crops (such as onions, carrots, soybeans, flax, and potatoes) possess an inherent ability to metabolize and neutralize the compound, allowing for safe application during the vegetative stage without the risk of phytotoxicity.

Key Application Aspects

• Target Weeds: Effectively controls problematic grass species including couch grass (Agropyron repens), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli), green foxtail, and wild oats.
• Formulation Benefits: The emulsifiable concentrate formulation ensures optimal stability of the spray solution and enhanced penetration into the leaf surface.
• Dosage and Timing: Recommended application rates are 0.4–1.2 l/ha, depending on weed density and growth stage. Best results are achieved during the 2–4 leaf stage of annual grasses and when couch grass is 10–15 cm high.
• Constraints: The product is classified as a Class 3 hazard. Regulatory guidelines specify a maximum of one treatment per season.

Manufactured by CJSC Firm August (Vurnary, Russia), this systemic herbicide provides farmers with a reliable solution for managing grass weed pressure during the critical window of crop development.
