SKUREL

Precision Grass Weed Control

«Skurel» is a systemic post-emergence herbicide engineered for targeted control of grass weeds in broadleaf crops. Utilizing quizalofop-P-ethyl, a member of the aryloxyphenoxypropionate family, the product effectively tackles both annual and perennial grasses, including couch grass (Agropyron repens), without impacting the crop's development.

Field Application and Strategy

For modern farming operations, «Skurel» acts as a critical insurance tool. It is primarily used during the post-emergence stage when grass weed pressure threatens yield potential. Key use cases include:

• Soybean and Sunflower: Managing grass competition during the early-to-mid vegetative stages to ensure robust crop architecture.
• Potato and Fodder Beet: Selective protection where traditional cultivation methods are limited or impractical.
• Oilseeds and Fiber Crops: Ensuring clean fields for rapeseed and flax by controlling grasses at the most vulnerable development stages of the target crop.

Technical Performance

The herbicide is absorbed rapidly through the leaves and translocated to the growing points and root systems. This systemic action is crucial for eliminating perennial rhizomatous weeds like couch grass. By the time the active ingredient reaches the roots, growth halts within days, leading to complete plant senescence within 1–2 weeks.

Produced by Jiangsu Qiaoji Biochem (PRC) and Nanjing Bioagriland Crop Care (PRC), the product is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate. Its high selectivity allows for safe use as a foliar herbicide, provided that application timing aligns with the specific growth stages of the weeds. Given its status as a Class 2 hazard substance, operators should follow safety protocols to ensure efficiency and minimize environmental impact.
