Propazox, KE herbicide

A robust foundation for crop protection

In modern intensive agriculture, controlling weeds at the earliest stage of crop development is the key to achieving high yields. Propazox EC herbicide, manufactured by the Ukrainian company «Agrokhimichni Tekhnolohii», is a selective soil-applied herbicide that has established itself as a reliable solution for protecting sunflower, maize, and winter rapeseed fields.

Mechanism of action and selectivity

Propazox is a systemic herbicide that acts primarily through the soil. The active ingredient, propisochlor, works by blocking the cell division of sensitive weeds. Its impact starts even before the emergence of the crop: the herbicide is absorbed by the sprouts and root systems of weeds, disrupting their metabolic processes. The product's primary advantage is its high selectivity—crop plants effectively metabolize the active ingredient, remaining protected, while competing weeds are eliminated during the germination phase.

Target spectrum and application guidelines

Propazox is highly effective against a broad range of aggressive weeds, including redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus), shepherd's purse, common chickweed, scentless mayweed, barnyard grass, yellow foxtail, and purple dead-nettle. To achieve optimal results, farmers should follow the application requirements:

• Application Rate: 2.0 – 3.0 L/ha, depending on soil type and weed infestation levels.
• Timing: Exclusively pre-emergence application.
• Frequency: Single application per season.
• Formulation: Emulsifiable concentrate for uniform soil coverage.

As a 3rd hazard class product, it requires standard safety precautions, making it a predictable and manageable tool for farms of any size. Its efficiency is consistent even under varying environmental conditions, provided that soil moisture is sufficient for activation.
