Mechanism of action
The preparation has a systemic effect. The active ingredient penetrates the plant via its aboveground portion, inhibits cell division in sensitive weeds, thus stopping their growth in several hours after treatment.
Protective period
Controls bilobate weeds throughout the vegetation period (unless 2nd wave of weeds appears).
Speed of action
The herbicide is quickly absorbed by leaves and moves along the entire plant, however complete perishing of weeds is observed in 2 or 3 weeks after treatment. How fast the signs of delayed growth appear depends on weather conditions during treatment (humidity, temperature), species composition of weeds and their growth stage. Young weeds are more sensitive to the herbicide.
Spectrum of action
Annual bilobate weeds, including 2.4-D and MCPA resistant weeds.
Sensitive species: Canadian thistle, cranebill (species), pepper plant (species), charlock, blindweed, day-nettle (species), vetch, wall rocket, tansy mustard, hemp nettle (species), buttercup (species), treacle erysimum, chickweed, copper rose, wild radish, field chamomile, chamomile (species), campion (species), common sunflower, loesel (species), stinkweed, field pansy, sandweed, green amaranth, yellow field sow thistle, pigweed, cockweed, sandwort (species), storksbill, candytuft (species), toadflax (species), stoneseed, hollyhock (species).
Moderately sensitive species: bluebottle, common fumitory, wild pansy, catch weed, common dandelion.
Feebly sensitive species: ragweed, sheepbine, winterweed.
Compatibility
The preparation is compatible with most herbicides: Drotik, CSC; Primadonna, SE; Primadonna Super, CSC; Lintaplant, SC; Ovsugen Super, EC; Ovsugen Express, EC; Lornet, SL; Zinger, WP; Kassius, WSP; Fenizan, SL; Lornet, SL; Sprut Extra, SL. In each specific case, the components to be commingled shall be checked for physical and chemical compatibility.
Selectivity
Selectivity for cereal crops is achieved by means of fast herbicide decomposition in a stable plant.
Potential for resistance
To avoid resistance to sulfonylureas, use herbicides with various mechanisms of action, alternate preparations and use combined herbicides.
