The Ramzes herbicide is a systemic post-emergence plant protection agent designed for the effective control of annual and perennial grasses, as well as annual broad-leaved weeds, including 2,4-D resistant varieties. The active ingredient of the product is rimsulfuron at a concentration of 250 g/kg, belonging to the sulfonylurea derivatives. The mechanism of action of the herbicide is based on blocking the enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase (or acetolactate synthase as per source text context), which is responsible for the synthesis of vital amino acids in weeds, leading to their death.
The product is released in the form of water-dispersible granules, ensuring ease of application and uniform distribution of the working solution. Ramzes is used in corn, tomato, and potato crops, with application rates varying from 40 to 50 g/ha depending on the crop. The optimal time for treatment is the crop stage from 1 to 7 leaves, at air temperatures from +15°C to +25°C. To increase effectiveness, it is recommended to use surfactants (surfactants), such as Booster or AlphaLip Extra, depending on the crop.
One of the significant advantages of the Ramzes herbicide is its high effectiveness at low application rates and a rapid decomposition period in the soil—about 10 days, which minimizes the risk of accumulation and negative impact on subsequent crops. The product ensures reliable control of a wide range of weeds, including those resistant to traditional herbicides, and is safe for crops when application regulations are followed. The herbicide is packaged in convenient 0.5 kg cans, which facilitates transportation and storage.
