SENCOR HERBICIDE

Sencor herbicide 70 WP is a selective herbicide which effectively controls weeds in wheat, potato, soybean, tomato and sugarcane. It is a pre-emergent herbicide and can also be applied as early post. It has broad spectrum control of both grasses and broad-leaf weeds.
Technical Content: Metribuzin 70 WP (70% w/w)
Mode of Action :
Selective systemic herbicide, absorbed predominantly by the roots, but also by the leaves, with translocation in the xylem. It inhibits photosynthesis. It acts on both grasses and broad leaf weeds.

Advantages :

• It effectively controls Phalaris minor, which has developed resistance to most of the herbicides in addition to many other grasses and broad leaf weeds
• Sencor acts through the roots and leaves and therefore, can be used for both pre and post emergence applications
• Sencor is economical because of its broad spectrum activity and low dose
• No residual effect on succeeding crop

Recommendations for Use:
Knapsack sprayer fitted with flat fan nozzle is recommended.
