Shedov, CE, herbicide

Mechanism of Action and Selectivity

Shedow, EC by Arysta LifeScience is a specialized solution for controlling grass weeds, combining the benefits of systemic action with high selectivity. The key advantage of the product lies in its active ingredients, which effectively block lipid synthesis within the meristematic tissues of weed plants.

Unlike broad-spectrum herbicides, Shedow works precisely: the active substance is rapidly absorbed by the leaf surface and translocated to the growing points. This is critical for controlling perennial grasses such as couch grass, whose rhizomes often remain viable after treatment with less efficient formulations.

Technical Application Details

The emulsion concentrate formulation is optimized for creating a stable working solution. In field conditions, this minimizes separation risks and ensures uniform coverage of the leaf blade. Due to its systemic nature, the herbicide does not rely on soil moisture or type, acting directly through the plant's vegetative mass.

• Wide Crop Compatibility: Application on onions, beets, carrots, rapeseed, soybeans, and other vegetables requires adherence to dosages ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 l/ha.
• Post-emergence Control: The herbicide is applied post-emergence, allowing agronomists to perform treatments exactly when weed pressure becomes significant.
• Selective Efficacy: Being a selective herbicide, Shedow does not suppress cultural crops when used according to regulations, making it a safe protection tool for weed-sensitive crops.

With a 3rd hazard class, the product requires standard safety precautions; however, the high concentration of active components allows for a significant reduction in the pesticide load per hectare.
