Mortira

Targeted Weed Control in Winter Rapeseed

In intensive winter rapeseed cultivation, grass weeds are a major threat to yield potential. "Mortira" by Iprokhim-Soyuz is a selective herbicide designed to eliminate both annual and perennial grasses without causing phytotoxicity to the crop. Its systemic mode of action makes it a reliable choice for commercial farms facing heavy weed pressure.

Strategic Advantages

The active ingredient, quizalofop-P-ethyl, belongs to the aryloxyphenoxypropionate group. Upon contact with the leaves, it translocates to the growing points and root system, effectively halting lipid synthesis. Key application scenarios include:

• Eradication of Perennial Grasses: Due to its systemic nature, it moves into rhizomes, preventing the regrowth of stubborn weeds like couch grass.
• Volunteer Grain Control: Essential for fields following cereal crops, where grain regrowth competes with rapeseed for critical nutrients and moisture.
• Flexible Timing: As a post-emergence herbicide, "Mortira" allows farmers to target weeds during their most vulnerable growth stages (2–4 leaves).

Technical Application Tips

Supplied as an emulsifiable concentrate, the product is easy to prepare for field application. Depending on weed density, the recommended rate ranges from 0.5 to 1.0 L/ha. Being a selective herbicide, it is engineered for safety on rapeseed crops. Farmers should note that full weed necrosis typically occurs 10–15 days post-application. Classified as hazard class 3, standard protective measures are required. The product is approved for a single application per season, making precise timing essential for maximum agricultural efficiency.
