Noble, w.r., (ADG ?)

Systemic Mechanism of Action

The herbicide "Noble" is based on a classic glyphosate formulation as a water-soluble concentrate. Unlike soil-applied herbicides that act through the root system, this product utilizes a translocation principle. Once applied to the leaf surface, the active ingredient is absorbed by plant tissues and transported via the phloem to areas of active growth, including meristems, roots, and rhizomes.

Total Weed Control

This is a non-selective, systemic herbicide. It eliminates virtually all types of actively growing weeds, including the most resilient species:

• Grasses (annual and perennial, including couch grass);
• Broadleaf weeds (a wide spectrum of both annual and perennial species).

The control efficiency relies on blocking the synthesis of aromatic amino acids, leading to irreversible metabolic disruption in the weed. When applied to winter wheat, "Noble" is commonly used for pre-harvest desiccation to ensure uniform crop ripening and weed suppression, which significantly improves harvesting efficiency.

Practical Application Insights

The water-soluble concentrate formulation ensures high stability of the tank mix and uniform coverage of the leaf blade when using standard sprayers. Classified under toxicity class 3, the product requires standard precautions for pesticide handling. It performs well across a broad temperature range, but the absence of rainfall for several hours post-application is critical to allow for proper glyphosate absorption into the plant tissues.

Technological Value of Noble

The product from "Three Delta Company International" provides a rational "all-in-one" solution for farmers. Its lack of soil activity makes it safe for subsequent crops in the rotation, as the active ingredient is rapidly inactivated upon contact with soil microorganisms.
