AGIL 100 KE

Technical insights into Agil 100 EC performance

Agil 100 EC is a high-performance systemic herbicide based on propaquizafop. As an aryloxyphenoxypropionate, it functions as a specialized grass killer, targeting the lipid synthesis pathways in susceptible plants. Unlike non-selective agents, its chemical structure allows for high selectivity, ensuring safety for key broad-leaved crops such as soybeans, sunflowers, flax, beets, and vegetables including onions, garlic, and cabbage.

The formulation as an emulsifiable concentrate is engineered for superior adherence and rapid absorption. Once applied to the foliage, the active ingredient exhibits both acropetal and basipetal translocation, moving quickly toward the meristematic tissues and root systems. This is particularly crucial for controlling perennial species like couch grass (Elymus repens), where root destruction is mandatory for long-term field cleaning.

Application and operational efficiency

• Post-emergence strategy: Agil 100 EC acts as a selective post-emergence tool, allowing for precise treatment timing during the active vegetation phase of the weeds.
• Systemic Control: The systemic mode of action ensures that once the compound reaches the growing points, weed regrowth is completely inhibited.
• Optimized dosage: With a flexible application rate of 0.5–1.5 liters per hectare, the product can be tailored to the specific infestation density of the field.

Produced by Agan Chemical Manufacturers Ltd., the product meets strict safety standards (Class 3 hazard). It is intended for a single application per season, with a pre-harvest interval of 30 to 60 days. Proper adherence to these technical parameters ensures optimal crop protection while maintaining regulatory compliance throughout the growing season.
