Grench

Reliable Weed Control in Winter Cereals

Managing weed pressure in winter wheat and barley requires a herbicide that is both powerful and efficient. "Grench," based on metsulfuron-methyl, is a systemic herbicide designed to control broad-leaved weeds effectively. It works not only on contact but also by systemic translocation, tackling stubborn perennial weeds like creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense). It acts as a selective herbicide, which means your crops can continue their development without the competition for nutrients and water.

Application and Field Performance

What I appreciate most about this product is its low application rate—only 8–10 grams per hectare. This makes logistics and handling incredibly simple. The water-dispersible granules dissolve perfectly in the tank, ensuring no nozzle clogs or sediment issues during spraying. Since it is a post-emergence (insurance) herbicide, it is best applied when the weeds are in the active growth phase, ensuring the most rapid systemic uptake.

Target Spectrum

"Grench" is highly effective against a wide range of common weeds including white goosefoot, redroot pigweed, field mustard, shepherd's purse, and scentless mayweed. Growth stops shortly after application, with complete control achieved within 10–15 days. By using this product, you perform a single, effective treatment that provides lasting protection during the most critical stages of crop growth.
