Chimera

Advanced Grass Control for Soybean Crops

"Khimera" by the Belarusian company "Frandesa" is a specialized systemic herbicide tailored for farmers seeking to protect their soybean yields from grass infestations. Utilizing the active ingredient quizalofop-P-ethyl, a member of the aryloxyphenoxypropionate class, this herbicide offers excellent selectivity, ensuring that the crop remains safe while targeting competitive weeds.

Mechanisms and Application Strategy

As a post-emergence foliar herbicide, "Khimera" works by translocating through the weed's foliage directly to the growth points and root systems. This makes it particularly effective against persistent perennial grasses, such as common couch grass (Elymus repens), as well as various annual grass weeds that significantly reduce soybean productivity. By neutralizing these threats early in the season, the product allows soybeans to utilize soil moisture and nutrients efficiently.
