Product details

Product Overview

Sencor® 480 SC is a highly efficient, selective herbicide developed to manage unwanted plants in a variety of crops, including asparagus, barley, chickpeas, faba beans, oats, peas, pigeon peas, potatoes, soybeans, tomatoes, and wheat. It is also a trusted solution for controlling Noogoora burr, making it a versatile product for farmers and agricultural professionals. With its unique mode of action, Sencor® 480 SC protects crops while promoting optimal growth conditions.

Active Ingredient and Mode of Action

Active Ingredient: Metribuzin (480 g/L): A powerful herbicide that effectively suppresses unwanted plants while being gentle on desirable crops when applied at the recommended rates.

Mode of Action:

Selective Targeting: Specifically designed to distinguish between crops and unwanted plants, minimizing damage to valuable crops.

Systemic Action: Absorbed by both roots and foliage, the herbicide translocates throughout the plant to inhibit photosynthesis, leading to the eventual death of unwanted plants. This dual entry ensures thorough action against target undesirable growth.

Extended Target Range

Sencor® 480 SC is effective against a diverse set of unwanted plants, which are major challenges in agricultural settings:

Broadleaf Unwanted Plants: Common offenders such as pigweed, lambsquarters, velvetleaf, nightshade, shepherd's purse, and common chickweed.

Grassy Unwanted Plants: Tackles foxtail, barnyardgrass, crabgrass, johnsongrass (seedling stage), and wild oats, offering comprehensive control.

Application Guidelines

Suitable Crops: Can be applied to a broad spectrum of crops, including cereals, legumes, tuber crops, and more.

Application Rates: Application rates vary based on crop type and unwanted plant pressure, generally ranging from 0.5 to 3.5 liters per hectare. Tailor the dosage to specific conditions for optimal results.

Mixing Instructions: Ensure proper mixing by adding the herbicide to water with continuous agitation to achieve a uniform spray solution. This guarantees effective application and coverage.

Timing:

Pre-Emergence Application: Prevents the germination and growth of unwanted plant seeds by applying the product to the soil immediately after planting.

Post-Emergence Application: Works best when applied to actively growing unwanted plants at early growth stages, ensuring maximum efficacy.

Advanced Selectivity

Sencor® 480 SC excels in distinguishing between target unwanted plants and valuable crops, ensuring minimal crop damage even at recommended rates. This selectivity is particularly crucial for crops with tight competition from undesirable growth, like potatoes and tomatoes.

Systemic and Residual Activity

Beyond its immediate systemic action, the residual effects of metribuzin provide prolonged protection, suppressing late-emerging unwanted plants and reducing the need for repeated applications.

Ease of Application

Its suspension concentrate (SC) formulation ensures smooth mixing, even in hard water conditions. This user-friendly quality streamlines spraying activities for farmers and reduces equipment clogging.

Application Versatility

Pre- and Post-Emergence Flexibility: Sencor® 480 SC can adapt to various stages of crop growth. Its pre-emergence application sets the stage for healthy crop establishment, while post-emergence use combats stubborn, actively growing undesirable growth.

Tank Mix Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of herbicides and fertilizers, the product can be integrated into broader unwanted plant management and nutritional programs (subject to compatibility testing).

Innovative Benefits for Farmers

Yield Protection: By effectively managing unwanted plant pressure, the herbicide allows crops to grow uninhibited, fully utilizing available nutrients, water, and sunlight.

Labor Efficiency: The dual action of systemic and residual control reduces the need for manual removal of undesirable growth or frequent herbicide applications, saving time and labor costs.

Weather Resilience: Its rainfastness ensures its effectiveness even under unpredictable weather patterns, providing farmers with greater confidence in their management strategies.

Additional Features

Formulation: Sencor SC 480 is a suspension concentrate (SC), ensuring easy mixing and application.

Pack Size: Available in various pack sizes, including 500 ml, 1 liter, and 5 liters.

Residual Control: Provides long-lasting residual control of unwanted plants, reducing the need for multiple applications.

Crop Safety: When used as directed, Sencor SC 480 is safe for the listed crops and does not cause phytotoxicity.
