Saracin

Systemic post-emergence herbicide for the eradication of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, including 2,4-D-resistant species in cereal crops.

Form and active ingredient:

Wettable powder containing methosulfuron-methyl, 600 g/kg.

Chemical class:

Sulfonylureas.

Packaging:

Bags of 50 g and 500 g (10 bags of 50 g water-soluble pouches).

Speed of action:

Weed growth is halted within a few hours after application. Chlorosis and necrosis of leaves begin within 5–7 days, and complete death occurs 2–3 weeks after herbicide application.

Mode of action:

The product is absorbed through leaves and roots and translocates throughout the plant, inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase, which stops cell division and causes weed death.

Properties and advantages:

Saracin — an economical and effective herbicide for protecting winter and spring cereals, without restrictions by crop varieties;

Provides high efficiency against a wide range of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, including 2,4-D-resistant species such as dock and sow thistle;

Can be applied in spring from the 2–3 leaf stage up to the emergence of the flag leaf in the crop;

Low application rate of Saracin significantly reduces herbicide load on the soil;

Easy to apply, does not require addition of surfactants;

Penetrates the plant through leaves and roots;

Thanks to the inclusion of modern active additives in the formulation of the herbicide Saracin, the active ingredient rapidly penetrates weed tissues and distributes evenly, enhancing the herbicide's effect;

The herbicide's action is minimally affected by weather conditions and soil status. Resistant to washout by rain, within 3 hours after application;

Provides protection of crops throughout the growing season;

When used at a rate not exceeding 5 g/ha in tank mixes with other herbicides, Saracin does not exhibit carryover effects on subsequent broadleaf crops, including winter rape.
