Trigger VG

Systemic Weed Control Technology

Trigger WG is a selective systemic herbicide based on tribenuron-methyl, manufactured by F.Agan Chemical Manufacturers Ltd. (Israel). The technical core of this product lies in its ability to inhibit the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme in sensitive weed species. By disrupting the synthesis of essential amino acids such as valine and isoleucine, the herbicide effectively halts cell division, leading to the rapid decay of competing weeds.

Formulation and Performance Benefits

The product is supplied as water-dispersible granules, a form factor that maximizes ease of use. Unlike traditional powders, these granules dissolve rapidly in water, preventing nozzle clogging and ensuring a homogeneous solution for consistent field application.

• Selectivity: Engineered specifically for cereal crop protection (winter and spring wheat, winter barley), Trigger WG provides robust control against various broad-leaved weeds, including field thistle, field mustard, common chickweed, and purple dead-nettle.
• Systemic Movement: Applied post-emergence, the active ingredient is absorbed through the leaf surface and translocated throughout the weed's vascular system. This ensures it reaches and inhibits growth points, providing thorough control even in challenging field conditions.
• Economic Value: With application rates ranging from 0.015 to 0.05 kg/ha and a maximum of one treatment per season, this herbicide optimizes crop protection budgets while minimizing chemical load on the environment.

Classified as a Hazard Class 3 agent, Trigger WG requires adherence to standard safety regulations and proper sprayer calibration. By leveraging advanced Israeli chemical engineering, this herbicide offers a reliable solution for maximizing yield potential in intensive cereal production systems.
