Description
Demand 16SE Herbicide by Tara Group is a powerful, broad-spectrum systemic herbicide specifically designed to manage a wide variety of broadleaf weeds in wheat crops.
With its potent combination of three active ingredients, florasulam, carfentrazone-ethyl, and fluroxypyr-meptyl, Demand 16SE offers a fast-acting and long-lasting solution to weed control, ensuring the health and productivity of your wheat crops.
Whether you're growing spring wheat or winter wheat, Demand 16SE is an essential for maintaining a healthy, high-yielding crop.
Active Ingredients in Demand 16SE Herbicide
Demand 16SE Herbicide’s effectiveness can be attributed to the combination of three potent active ingredients:
Florasulam (0.5%)
Florasulam is a herbicide active ingredient that targets broadleaf weeds by inhibiting the plant's biosynthesis of amino acids. It disrupts essential metabolic processes within the weed, preventing its growth and leading to eventual death. Florasulam is highly effective against a wide range of weed species and provides long-lasting control.
Carfentrazone-Ethyl (1.5%)
Carfentrazone-ethyl is a fast-acting contact herbicide that works by disrupting the cellular structure of the plant. It rapidly causes cell membrane damage, leading to rapid tissue death. This ingredient acts quickly to control a variety of broadleaf weeds, complementing the systemic action of florasulam.
Fluroxypyr-Meptyl (14%)
Fluroxypyr-meptyl is a systemic herbicide that targets weeds by mimicking plant growth hormones. It interferes with the growth and development of weeds, leading to their eventual demise. This active ingredient provides sustained control of many difficult-to-manage broadleaf weeds and enhances the overall efficacy of Demand 16SE.
Key Features Of Demand 16SE Herbicide
Demand 16SE Herbicide stands out in the market due to its unique formulation and versatile performance. Below are the key features that make it a must-have for wheat crop protection:
Broad-Spectrum Weed Control
Demand 16SE controls a wide range of broadleaf weeds that commonly affect wheat crops. This includes both annual and perennial species such as:
Common chickweed (Stellaria media)
Prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola)
Wild mustard (Sinapis arvensis)
Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense)
Pigweed (Amaranthus spp.)
Lambsquarters (Chenopodium album)
With a broad spectrum of targeted weeds, Demand 16SE ensures that your wheat crops face less competition for nutrients, sunlight, and water.
Systemic Action for Complete Weed Control
Demand 16SE is a systemic herbicide, meaning it works by being absorbed through the leaves and roots of weeds. Once absorbed, the herbicide is transported throughout the plant, attacking it from the inside and leading to the complete death of the plant. This ensures long-term control and prevents the weed from resprouting.
Fast-Acting Formula
Demand 16SE delivers fast-acting results, with symptoms of weed stress appearing within 2 to 4 days of application. Weeds begin to show signs of chlorosis (yellowing), followed by necrosis (death), within a few days. This rapid action is crucial for preventing weed competition during critical growth stages of the wheat crop.
Application Instructions for Demand 16SE Herbicide
To achieve the best results with Demand 16SE Herbicide, it is essential to follow the recommended application guidelines carefully. Here’s what you need to know:
Application Method:
Demand 16SE should be applied as a foliar spray using a calibrated sprayer. Ensure that the sprayer is properly adjusted to achieve uniform coverage on both the leaves and stems of the weeds. Avoid over-application or under-application to prevent inconsistent control.Dosage:
The recommended application rate for Demand 16SE is 220 ml per acre. This ensures that the correct amount of herbicide is applied to effectively control weeds while minimizing any negative impact on the wheat crop.Timing of Application:
For optimal results, apply Demand 16SE when weeds are actively growing. The herbicide is most effective when weeds are small and in the early stages of growth. Applying the herbicide during this window ensures that it is absorbed efficiently and provides effective control.Temperature and Weather Conditions:
The best time to apply Demand 16SE is when the air temperature is between 10°C and 25°C (50°F to 77°F). Avoid applying the herbicide during periods of extreme heat or when temperatures are below the recommended range. Also, refrain from applying it during windy conditions to prevent drift onto non-target areas, which could harm other plants.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Demand 16SE on other crops besides wheat?
Demand 16SE is specifically formulated for use on wheat crops. It is not recommended for use on other crops, as its effectiveness and safety have only been tested on wheat.
How soon after applying Demand 16SE can I expect to see results?
Weeds typically begin showing visible symptoms of damage within 2 to 4 days of application. These symptoms include chlorosis and necrosis, which indicate that the herbicide is effectively controlling the weeds.
How can I ensure that Demand 16SE is applied correctly?
To ensure proper application, always follow the recommended dosage and timing guidelines. Use a calibrated sprayer to ensure uniform coverage and avoid applying in conditions that could cause drift.
