Grinil, WG (tribenuron-methyl, 750 g/kg)

Securing Winter Crops: Field Experience with Grinil

When dealing with broad-leaved weeds in winter wheat or barley, efficiency and precision are paramount. Working with Grinil, a herbicide formulated as water-dispersible granules, the first thing I noticed was the ease of preparation. The granules dissolve quickly in the sprayer tank, ensuring smooth nozzle operation without clogging, which is essential during busy field operations.

Application and Performance

As a practitioner, I found that Grinil is highly effective when applied post-emergence. With its active ingredient, tribenuron-methyl (750 g/kg), it provides systemic control over a wide range of annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds. Using a rate of 0.015–0.025 kg/ha gives excellent control if applied during the active growth phase of the weeds. Because of its selective nature, the crop doesn't suffer the growth stress often associated with harsher herbicides.

• Operational Ease: The WG formulation prevents dust and simplifies precise measuring.
• Systemic Control: Rapidly translocated through the plant to inhibit cell division in weeds.
• Cost-Efficiency: The low application rate allows for optimized per-hectare costs.

As this is a Hazard Class 3 product, always ensure personal protective equipment is used during application. Based on my field use, one application per season is usually enough to clear the field and give the crop the competitive edge it needs until harvest. This product, brought to market by a collaboration of Chinese firms (Shanghai Farmgreen Chemical, Jiangsu Institute of Ecomones, Three Delta International Company) and the Czech company DISVES L.L.C., offers consistent quality for professional farm management.
