Prioritet, SC

Action Mechanism of Prioritet, SC: Systemic Weed Control

The preparation is based on nicosulfuron (40 g/l), which belongs to the sulfonylurea group. Unlike soil-applied herbicides, Prioritet, SC acts exclusively through the leaf surface. Its systemic action allows the active ingredient to move rapidly through the xylem and phloem to the weed growth points. Within a few hours after application, cell division in the meristem stops, making further development and competition for moisture and nutrients impossible.

Technological Features and Application Spectrum

As a selective post-emergence herbicide, Prioritet, SC by Khimagromarketing is specifically designed for corn protection. Its primary advantage is the ability to destroy a wide range of annual and perennial grasses, as well as certain broad-leaved weeds, including common couch grass, barnyard grass, field mustard, and shepherd's purse.

• Formulation: The suspension concentrate ensures the stability of the working solution and uniform coverage of the leaf blade.
• Rate Flexibility: Consumption varies from 1.0 to 2.0 l/ha, depending on the weed growth stage and the field infestation level.
• Selectivity: Corn has the physiological ability to metabolize nicosulfuron into non-toxic compounds, which eliminates phytotoxicity when regulations are followed.

Application Guidelines

To achieve maximum biological efficacy, it is crucial to consider the crop's vegetative phase (from 3 to 10 leaves). The product acts as an insurance herbicide, so it is important to prevent weed overgrowth, as efficacy against mature couch grass specimens decreases significantly. Given its Toxicity Class 3, personal protective equipment must be used during handling. The maximum number of treatments is limited to one per season, which necessitates precise timing of application.
