The herbicide Kapral is a soil-applied product designed for effective control of annual broadleaf and some grassy weeds in crops of various agricultural crops, including sunflower, soybean, potato, pea, onion, and corn. The active ingredient is prometryn at a concentration of 500 g/l, and the formulation is a concentrate suspension. Due to its broad spectrum of action and prolonged effect, Kapral provides reliable protection for crops against weeds for 4-10 weeks after application.
The mechanism of action of the herbicide is based on the absorption of the active ingredient by weed seedlings and roots, which leads to the blocking of the photosynthesis process and destruction of plant cell membranes. This ensures effective eradication of unwanted vegetation and prevents its reappearance. The product is applied by treating the soil before, during, or immediately after sowing crops, allowing flexible use in various agronomic schemes.
Kapral is safe for crop plants when applied according to the recommended guidelines. The recommended application rate for sunflower is 2.0 to 4.0 liters per hectare. The product is available in 5- or 20-liter containers, which is convenient for various scales of agricultural production. The manufacturer of the herbicide is Peters and Burg Ltd, Hungary.
