PUMA SUPER 144EW

Advanced Weed Control for Cereal Crops

Working with PUMA SUPER 144 EW has proven that this is one of the most reliable solutions for managing persistent annual grasses in wheat, barley, and rye fields. The standout feature of this herbicide is its selectivity. In high-intensity farming, where crops are already actively growing, it allows us to eliminate wild oats, foxtail, and common windgrass without causing any phytotoxic stress to the crop itself.

The secret behind this efficiency is the inclusion of a safener — mefenpyr-diethyl. Unlike many generic alternatives that can stunt crop growth, this formulation provides rapid weed knockdown while ensuring the safety of the grain. Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl works systemically; within hours of application, it penetrates the weed's tissues, with total mortality observed within 10–14 days.

Practical Field Application

• Dosage and Efficiency: The product delivers consistent performance at rates ranging from 0.6 to 0.9 L/ha, depending on weed pressure.
• Equipment Compatibility: The oil-in-water emulsion is easy to mix and does not clog sprayer nozzles. It is easy to rinse from tanks, saving time during the busy spring season.
• Timing: As a post-emergence herbicide, it performs best when weeds are actively growing, specifically between the 2-leaf stage and the end of tillering.

Backed by the manufacturing standards of the consortium (including Bayer AG and Briar Chemicals Ltd.), the product quality is highly consistent. We typically perform only one application per season, which is sufficient to keep fields clean until harvest. The herbicide is very operator-friendly; as long as the sprayer system is flushed properly, there are no maintenance issues. The key for operators is ensuring good coverage, as this is a foliar-acting product that relies on thorough contact with the weeds' leaf surface.
