Zernodar V.G.

Advanced Weed Control for Cereal Crops

"Zernodar V.G." by Zhenjiang Agrin Company Ltd. provides a robust solution for managing broad-leaved weeds in winter and spring cereal crops. The core of this formulation is tribenuron-methyl, a highly efficient herbicide belonging to the sulfonylurea chemical class. It acts by inhibiting the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme, effectively halting the cell division process in targeted weeds.

Mechanism and Formulation Advantages

As a systemic herbicide, Zernodar V.G. is absorbed through the leaves and translocated throughout the plant via the xylem and phloem. This mode of action ensures that even weeds not fully covered by the spray receive a lethal dose. The water-suspension concentrate formulation is engineered for optimal stability and compatibility in spray tanks, ensuring uniform distribution across the field.

Target Weeds and Application Efficiency

The product is specifically designed to suppress the most aggressive competition for soil nutrients and moisture in wheat and barley fields, including:

• Cirsium arvense (Canada thistle) and Chenopodium album (Common lambsquarters);
• Amaranthus retroflexus (Redroot pigweed) and Sinapis arvensis (Wild mustard);
• Thlaspi arvense (Field pennycress) and Capsella bursa-pastoris (Shepherd's purse);
• Stellaria media (Common chickweed) and Galium aparine (Cleavers).

With an application rate of 0.015–0.025 kg/ha, this selective herbicide is an ideal choice for post-emergence control. A single application is sufficient to clean the field effectively, allowing crops to grow without the stress of weed competition, while maintaining safety for the cereal plants themselves.
