Globstar

Systemic weed control: the Globstar technology

"Globstar", produced by DVA Chemicals Co. Ltd., China, is a high-efficiency herbicide designed for post-emergence application in winter wheat and barley crops. The active ingredient, tribenuron-methyl, is formulated as a water-suspension concentrate, which ensures optimal adhesion to leaf surfaces and rapid systemic translocation within the weed tissue.

Biochemical action mechanism

The core mechanism of Globstar involves inhibiting the acetolactate synthase enzyme. This process halts the synthesis of essential amino acids, including valine and isoleucine, which immediately arrests weed growth. This selective approach makes it a powerful tool against the most resilient broadleaf weeds:

• Cruciferous weeds: field mustard, shepherd's purse.
• Common broadleaf weeds: cleavers, scentless chamomile.
• Other key targets: purple dead-nettle, chickweed, and field pansy.

Field application parameters

As a foliar, selective herbicide, Globstar requires precise timing and dosage for optimal results. It is engineered to maintain high safety levels for cereal crops while delivering a lethal blow to targeted competitive species.

• Application Rate: 0.02–0.025 kg/ha, offering a cost-effective solution for large-scale agronomic operations.
• Selective Activity: Engineered specifically to leave winter wheat and barley unaffected.
• Safety Profile: Classified as Hazard Class 3, requiring standard protective equipment during handling.

With a limit of one application per season, the product is optimized to clean fields effectively during critical developmental stages. Represented by DVA Agro GmbH (Germany), Globstar adheres to international standards for chemical purity and manufacturing quality, providing reliable protection for professional farming operations.
