Formula

Technical Profile of «Formula» Herbicide

«Formula» is built upon the active ingredient thifensulfuron-methyl, a member of the sulfonylurea chemical class. At the physiological level, the product functions by inhibiting the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme. This specific action disrupts the synthesis of essential amino acids, including valine, leucine, and isoleucine, resulting in the rapid cessation of cell division in the meristematic tissues of target weeds.

Formulation and Application Mechanics

Supplied as a water-suspension concentrate, the formulation ensures high particle dispersion. This is critical for post-emergence application: the product forms a stable, uniform emulsion that maximizes contact with the leaf cuticle. This ensures rapid systemic uptake into the plant’s vascular system, minimizing the risk of wash-off by precipitation.

Selectivity and Efficacy

As a selective systemic herbicide, «Formula» is designed to control annual broadleaf weeds while maintaining high crop safety for soybeans, winter barley, winter wheat, maize, and linseed. The selectiveness is based on the crop's ability to metabolize the active ingredient into non-toxic compounds significantly faster than the weeds can.

• Application Rate: 0.015–0.025 kg/ha, demonstrating high efficiency at low concentrations.
• Method: Foliar application (post-emergence).
• Hazard Class: 3, necessitating standard protective measures during tank preparation and spraying.
• Frequency: A single application per season is effective for managing the primary weed flush.

By moving through both the xylem and phloem, the herbicide ensures that even areas not directly struck by the spray droplet are affected. This systemic translocation capability makes «Formula» a highly reliable tool for agronomists looking to maintain clean fields and optimize yield potential.
