Mechanism of action
Inhibition of acetyl-CoA-carboxylase results in arrest of cell division and growth with further weed death.
Protective period
Throughout the vegetation period. The preparation is absorbed by leaves and moves to sprout and rootstock growing points, and has a herbicidal effect on sensitive weeds present on plantings during treatment.
Oil emulsion concentrate improves significantly herbicide absorption by weeds. Particularly, oil serves as a conductor of the active ingredient through the wax layer of a leaf and facilitates preparation penetration in deeper layers of a weed. Particles of the active ingredient in oil emulsion are at a fine state, thus providing highest stability and homogeneity of the sprayed solution, which promotes deep penetration of the preparation; When applied on a weed, oil emulsion distributes evenly and forms a film on the leaf surface preventing preparation evaporation and washing-off. This helps maintain preparation activity that does not depend on weather conditions. Demonstrating a high systemic activity, the active ingredient quickly moves to growing points of roots and shoots, while exterminating weeds together with their root systems and preventing regrowing. Thus, Healer, OEC demonstrates its maximum efficiency in any weather conditions and ensures the highest level of weed control.
Speed of action
Weeds stop growing during the first day after treatment. First signs of exposure appear in 5 to 10 days, and weeds perish in 2 or 3 weeks.
Range of inhibited weeds
Annual and perennial cereal weeds, including green valley grass, bur grass (species), foxtail grass, loose silky bent, rough-stalked bluegrass, oat grass, ryegrass (species), barnyard grass, quack grass, crabgrass species, blue couch grass, sorgho (species), foxtail (species), and others.
Compatibility
May be mixed with other herbicides intended to control broad-leaved weeds (Betaren Express AM, Betaren 22, Lornet, etc.), as well as with organophosphorous and pyrethroid insecticides. In each specific case, the components to be commingled should be checked for physical and chemical compatibility.
Potential for resistance
No cases of weed resistance to the preparation are recorded.
