Stemat, Etofumezat, 500 g/l

PURPOSE: Highly selective herbicide for controlling annual dicotyledonous and some grass weeds on sugar beet crops.

PRINCIPLE OF ACTION: It has a contact and soil effect, is absorbed by the sprouts of monocotyledons during germination and is absorbed by the roots of dicotyledons upon contact with an aqueous solution of etofumesate in the soil. When it hits the soil, it prevents the germination of new weeds. It is poorly absorbed by leaves when a mature cuticle has formed. Etofumesate suppresses meristem growth and cell division, limits the formation of wax cuticle in weeds.

ADVANTAGES: simultaneously destroys a wide range of weeds and forms a protective herbicidal "screen"; high efficiency and selectivity of action; flexibility in application due to the possibility of adjusting the application rate, depending on the degree of weeding of crops

APPLICATION FEATURES: The best herbicidal effect is provided when the drug is used in conditions of sufficient soil moisture.
For extended control of the spectrum of dicotyledonous weeds, it is advisable to use in tank mixtures with drugs:
Shtefam Novy (phenmedifam, 160 g/l + desmedifam, 160 g/l); Stefam (phenmedifam, 320 g/l); Stefbetan (etofumezat 112 g/l, phenmedipham 91 g/l, desmedipham 71 g/l); Shteferib (triflusulfuron-methyl, 500 g/kg).
Compatible with most drugs produced by DDE FARM AG. When using with drugs from other manufacturers, it is necessary to conduct a preliminary check on the compatibility of the components and the phytotoxicity of the mixture.

APPLICATION REGULATIONS:
The drug cannot be used on hot days with strong solar radiation or when there is a danger of night frosts, as well as in crops of sick or weakened plants, as damage to beets is possible! It is recommended to carry out spraying at temperatures from +8 to +25 ºС using ground equipment in the morning (before 10) and evening (after 18) hours, with minimal air flows. The air speed during fine-droplet spraying should not exceed 3 m/s, with large-droplet spraying - 4 m/s. Spraying of crops should be carried out in the phase of true leaves in crops and in the phase of cotyledons of weeds.

STANDARDS OF CONSUMPTION OF WORKING SOLUTION:
