AGROPROMETRIN, K.S., HERBICIDE

Technical Formulation and Performance

AGROPROMETRIN, S.C. (Suspension Concentrate) is a systematic herbicide formulated with prometryn. The suspension concentrate technology provides high-quality dispersion of active ingredients, allowing for an uniform application pattern across the soil surface, which is critical for forming a robust, consistent soil barrier against emerging weeds.

Mechanism of Action and Selectivity

Functioning as a pre-emergence soil-applied herbicide, AGROPROMETRIN intercepts weed development at the earliest biological stage. Prometryn works by inhibiting photosynthesis in the weed—specifically by disrupting the Hill reaction. Since the herbicide is taken up through the root system of germinating weeds, the competitive pressure on the crop is neutralized before it even begins.

Selectivity is achieved through the physiological ability of crops like sunflower, soybean, carrot, pea, coriander, and potato to metabolically detoxify prometryn. The herbicide specifically targets annual broadleaf and grass weeds without compromising the growth of the protected crop, provided the dosage of 2–4 L/ha is strictly observed.

Application and Field Management

• Soil-Applied Strategy: Operates as a selective barrier, ensuring the crop has a weed-free head start during the critical establishment phase.
• Systemic Control: Prevents further weed flushes by residual activity within the topsoil layer.
• Operational Efficiency: Requires only one precise application to achieve season-long control of sensitive weed species.
• Compliance: Classified as Hazard Class 3, requiring standard safety protocols for chemical application and handling.

Produced by Shandong Qiaochang Chemical Co., Ltd. (China), this formulation ensures technical consistency, delivering a reliable solution for integrated weed management programs in modern crop production.
