Quazalon

Efficient Control of Grass Weeds in Row Crops

"Quizalon" is a systemic post-emergence herbicide designed to address weed infestation in key agricultural crops. Produced by the specialized Chinese facilities Jiangsu Qiaoji Biochem and Nanjing Bioagriland Crop Care, this product has established itself as a reliable tool for Ukrainian farmers aiming to keep fields clean while minimizing phytotoxic stress on crops.

Mechanism and Selectivity

The active ingredient in Quizalon is Quizalofop-P-ethyl, belonging to the aryloxyphenoxypropionate class. Its systemic action ensures that upon contact with leaf surfaces, the herbicide translocates throughout the weed, targeting growth points and inhibiting lipid synthesis. This biochemical interruption effectively terminates cell division, leading to the rapid death of the target plant.

A primary advantage of Quizalon is its selectivity. It provides potent control over both annual and perennial grass weeds—such as couch grass (Agropyron repens), barnyard grass, and green foxtail—while remaining safe for broad-leaved crops like soybean, sunflower, oilseed rape, and fodder beet. This makes it a crucial insurance policy during the early to mid-growth stages of the crop.

Field Application

Formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate, the product is straightforward to mix and apply as a foliar spray. As a post-emergence herbicide, it allows growers to respond flexibly to weed pressure exactly when it occurs in the field. Given its classification as a Class 2 hazard, strict adherence to safety protocols is required during preparation and application.

Supplied by Kemiagrotrade, this product has earned a reputation for stable, consistent results in intensive farming systems. By managing competition from aggressive grass weeds, Quizalon helps farmers protect their yield potential and reduce the need for labor-intensive mechanical weeding.
