Guaranteed shelf life: 3 years

Advantages

• It is a benchmark for effectiveness in controlling chinchilla, providing control of the weed at stages above 5 whorls.
• At maximum application rates it provides high efficacy on overgrown, sensitive weeds when applied during the tube forming phase of the crop.
• Has a strong herbicidal effect on weeds resistant to herbicides of sulfonylurea class.
• Can be applied without fear in the cold spring as, unlike hormonal herbicides, the drug does not cause toxicity.
• It decomposes quickly in the soil, so there are no restrictions for subsequent crops in a normal rotation.
• It affects enzymes found only in plants (it inhibits cell division), so it is practically harmless to animals, users and their environment.
• It is a good partner for tank mixtures with preparations of different chemical classes and groups as well as with fertilizers.
• Allows for a significant reduction of the herbicidal load on the soil.

Status Grand, VDG has one of the widest application range of the known herbicides in cereals due to the exceptional selectivity for crops. In cereals, this drug can be applied from the beginning of tillering to the emergence of the flag leaf.Action

Mechanism of action

Tribenuron-methyl is a branched-chain amino acid synthesis inhibitor. It acts on acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme in susceptible weeds. Disrupts cell division and plant growth. Absorbed mainly through above-ground organs and transported throughout the plant. Chlorosis and necrosis appear on damaged plants after a few days, and complete death occurs after 2-4 weeks under optimal conditions.

Florasulam also inhibits acetolactate synthase, a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids such as leucine, isoleucine and valine. 

Speed of action

Growth of plants, sensitive species of weeds stops within 24 hours after penetration of the drug through the leaf surface of plants. The first visible symptoms of the drug appear 7-10 days after spraying. Final destruction of sensitive weeds occurs 2-3 weeks after spraying, depending on the species composition, phase of weeds development, degree of weed infestation, as well as climatic conditions before, during and after spraying.

Period of protective action

Until the end of vegetation.

Recommendations

Directions for use

To avoid over-dosage make sure that the equipment parameters are set correctly. When spraying avoid repeated applications, overlapping, slowing down and turning. Apply a spray rate of 200-300 l/ha. Avoid spraying on other crops susceptible to this herbicide.

Plants of susceptible species of weeds, which are in the phase of active growth in the phase from 2 to 8 true leaves, are the most sensitive to the drug. In the case of using the drug in later phases of development and to kill more advanced weed plants, as well as in heavily thinned crops, under adverse weather conditions before and after spraying, the highest of the registered hectare rate of the drug must be applied. Thus, the high selectivity Status Grand, VDG combined with very effective control of weeds in the early stage of their development provides a high yield of grain.

Toxicity

Hazard class 3 (moderately hazardous compound).
