Highly effective pre-emergent herbicide for controlling a wide spectrum of annual broadleaf and grass weeds on many economically important crops.
Advantages of the product:
— Does not require immediate incorporation into soil and mechanical inter-row cultivation;
— One product for many crops;
— Widest spectrum of action among pre-emergent herbicides.
Acts on roots and seedlings, inhibiting cell division and growth in the meristems of sensitive plants. Sensitive weeds die immediately after seed germination or emergence. Also affects sensitive plants that have already emerged, but only when grass weeds are in the 1-1.5 leaf stage and broadleaf weeds are up to 2 true leaves.
The application method of the herbicide depends on crop type, soil-climatic conditions, agronomic practices, availability of necessary equipment, etc. In all cases, the soil should be well-prepared. The dosage of the product depends on the soil texture and humus content. Thus, on heavy soils with high humus content, as well as under hot conditions where rainfall is likely or has occurred, intensive photodegradation of the product takes place, and the dosage should be maximum. On light soils with low humus content, the herbicide dosage should be reduced, but its effectiveness will remain high. When determining the optimal dosage of the product, the species composition of weeds should also be considered, as they have varying sensitivity to the herbicide.
