Demetra

Efficient Control of Hard-to-Kill Weeds

"Demetra" is a selective systemic herbicide that has become a reliable tool for professional crop production. Developed by "ZAT Firma August" (Vurnary, Russia), this fluroxypyr-based product is specifically designed to target dicotyledonous weeds that are typically challenging to control with standard herbicides.

Key Advantages

• Targeted Action: Unlike many competitors, this product excels at controlling cleavers (Galium aparine) at all growth stages, while also effectively eliminating field bindweed.
• Systemic Flexibility: Thanks to its systemic action, the active ingredient quickly penetrates through the leaf surface and translocates throughout the plant, reaching deep into the root system. This makes "Demetra" essential for fighting perennial weeds.
• Selectivity: The herbicide can be safely applied to winter and spring wheat, barley, and onion crops without fear of phytotoxicity, provided the regulatory guidelines are followed.

Who is this product for?

"Demetra" is the optimal choice for farms facing severe weed pressure from complex species like common vetch or wild buckwheat. It acts as a "rescue" herbicide: it is invaluable when early application windows have been missed or when weeds have outgrown the stage susceptible to milder treatments. The emulsifiable concentrate formulation ensures easy mixing and superior adhesion to plant foliage.

Operational Guidelines

As a selective herbicide, adhering strictly to the dosage (0.175–0.35 L/ha) is critical. The restriction to a single application per season is due to the high metabolic activity of fluroxypyr. Classified as a Hazard Class 3 chemical, standard safety precautions must be maintained during handling. This is the ideal solution for producers who prioritize weed-free fields and wish to avoid the costs and time associated with repeated applications.
