Sigur

Synergy of Three Components against Maize Weeds

The uniqueness of the "Sigur" herbicide by Alpha Smart Agro lies in its formulation. Unlike specialized products, it combines the action of four active ingredients: nicosulfuron, rimsulfuron, mesotrione, and triketone. This combination allows for both post-emergence control and residual protection against subsequent flushes of weeds.

Technological Advantage of Oil Dispersion

The oil dispersion (OD) formulation is far more than a marketing strategy. The active substance particles in Sigur are encased in an oil shell, which ensures superior adhesion to the waxy cuticle of weeds and faster penetration. This is critical when working under stressful weather conditions, when weeds harden and reduce transpiration.

Mechanism of Action and Selectivity

The systemic nature of the product allows it to move rapidly through the weed's vascular system, blocking key growth enzymes (ALS and carotenoids). For the crop — maize — Sigur remains a highly selective tool: the plant is capable of metabolizing the product's components, which prevents phytotoxicity when application regulations are followed.

• Spectrum Control: The product eliminates both annual and perennial grass and broadleaf weeds, including hard-to-eradicate species.
• Application Phase: As a rescue (post-emergence) herbicide, it offers flexibility in timing, targeting actively growing weeds.
• Usage Rate: An optimal dosage of 0.5–1.0 L/ha covers protection needs in a single application, providing economic efficiency for intensive maize farming technologies.

Sigur acts as a powerful instrument for suppressing field competition, reducing crop stress, and releasing vital resources for yield formation. It is the ideal choice for growers who prefer complex, high-performance formulations that require minimal additional adjuvants when preparing the spray solution.
