Alpha-Star-Duo, WG

Synergy of active ingredients: how Alfa-Star-Duo works

The core of "Alfa-Star-Duo, WG" is a synergistic combination of two sulfonylureas: thifensulfuron-methyl and tribenuron-methyl. This duo provides high efficiency against a wide spectrum of broad-leaved weeds, including resilient species like cleavers, chamomile, corn poppy, and wild mustard. Using this herbicide in winter and spring wheat, as well as winter barley crops, effectively eliminates weed competition at early stages, which is critical for maximizing potential yields.

Mechanism of action and systemic efficacy

As a systemic selective herbicide, the product penetrates the plant through the leaf surface. The active ingredients inhibit the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS), stopping cell division and leading to the necrosis of growing points. Due to its high selectivity, the herbicide does not stress crops while targeting only undesirable flora. The water-dispersible granule formulation simplifies the preparation of the spray mixture: the granules disperse quickly, preventing sediment formation in the spray tank.

Technical application guidelines

• Application Rate: 0.04–0.05 kg/ha — the optimal dosage for controlling actively growing weeds.
• Timing: Post-emergence application to ensure maximum leaf coverage.
• Treatment Frequency: Designed for a single intensive treatment, allowing for streamlined field operations.
• Safety: The product is classified as Hazard Class 3, requiring standard operator personal protective equipment.

Manufacturing excellence from "Jiangsu Institute of Ecomones Co., Ltd" (China) and "Unicity Enterprises L.P." (UK) ensures that the granule’s physical and chemical properties meet modern agrochemical standards, providing consistent results under varied field conditions.
