- a selective pre- and post-emergence broad-spectrum herbicide used against annual dicotyledonous and grass weeds.
Original product! 4 levels of protection.
Product features:
- effectively controls a wide range of annual dicotyledonous and certain grass weeds in many agricultural crops;
- provides long-lasting protection (5–7 weeks, depending on weather conditions);
- An ideal partner in tank mixes with other soil-applied products based on acetochlor and metolachlor to broaden the spectrum of controlled weed species;
- Environmentally safe and cost-effective.
Active ingredient: promethrin, 500 g/L
Formulation: suspension concentrate
Packaging: 100 mL
Mode of action. A selective herbicide that is absorbed by both the seedlings and the roots of weeds when applied to emerging plants. On weeds that have already emerged, the product acts through the leaves, thereby blocking photosynthesis.
Spectrum of activity. Susceptible weeds: small-flowered galinsoga, mustard (species), common shepherd’s purse, common chickweed, common purslane, wild radish, field romaine, field violet, chickweed (species).
Moderately sensitive: bittercress (species), field chickweed, Sofia's curly dock, common ragweed (species), black nightshade.
| Crop | Application rate per 5 L of water per 100 m² | Method, treatment time | Waiting period |
| Potatoes | 30–40 mL | Soil spraying before crop emergence | 30 |
| Soybeans | 30–50 mL | Soil spraying before crop emergence | -- |
| Sunflower | 20–40 mL | Soil spraying before sowing, during sowing, but before crop emergence | -- |
| Coriander | 30–40 mL | Soil application before crop emergence or at the 2–3 true leaf stage | 30 |
| Peas | 30–50 mL | Soil spraying before crop emergence | -- |
| Carrots | 30–40 mL | Soil spraying before sowing, before emergence, or at the 1–2 true leaf stage of the crop | 45 |
Application rate of the working solution: 250–300 L/ha. To prepare the working solution, fill the sprayer tank with water to 1/3 of its volume, turn on the agitation mode, and add the required amount of the product. Top off the sprayer tank to full capacity while the agitation mode is running. During application, the mixing mode must remain on at all times to keep the working solution homogeneous.
Treatment is carried out using a freshly prepared working solution, ensuring uniform coverage of the treated surface. The quality of coverage during application is a critical factor for the product’s effectiveness.
Spraying should be performed on well-prepared and optimally moist soil. Inter-row cultivation after herbicide application is not recommended, as it will reduce the herbicide’s efficacy. In the absence of moisture, shallow incorporation is recommended. Spray the soil before or after sowing, but before crop emergence (except for carrots and cilantro).
Application.
Before spraying, shake the container with the herbicide, then dissolve the calculated amount of the product (see Table) in clean water and mix thoroughly. Use the working solution on the day it is prepared, as prolonged storage causes the product to lose its properties, leading to reduced effectiveness against weeds. Apply the treatment under favorable weather conditions (no gusty winds, air temperature not exceeding 25°C); this is usually in the morning (before 10–11 a.m.) and in the evening (6–10 p.m.).
When using the product before crop emergence, soil moisture and the quality of soil preparation are of paramount importance for its effectiveness. If moisture is insufficient, increase the water application rate and ensure the product is thoroughly incorporated into the soil using light harrows or other implements, adjusting the depth to match the planting depth of the crop.
The product is not recommended for use on sandy soils with very low organic matter content (less than 1%). It is important to remember that inter-row soil cultivation is not permitted after application of the product.
Maximum number of applications per season — 1.
Waiting period before people may enter treated areas for manual or mechanized work: coriander, soybeans, potatoes, and carrots—7/3 days; peas—none/3 days; sunflowers—15/3 days.
