Key Features Of Xtra Care 23OD Herbicide Tara Group
1. Broad-Spectrum Efficacy
Xtra Care Herbicide effectively controls a wide variety of broadleaf weeds and grasses, which are common in potato fields. It targets a diverse range of species, including:
Common Chickweed
Prickly Lettuce
Wild Mustard
Johnsongrass
Bermudagrass
This herbicide's versatility ensures that potato farmers can maintain cleaner fields throughout the growing season, regardless of the specific weed species present.
2. Synergistic Action of Active Ingredients
The unique formulation of Xtra Care 23OD combines three potent active ingredients—rimsulfuron, quizalofop-p-ethyl, and metribuzin—that work together to provide enhanced control of weeds. Here's a breakdown of each ingredient's role:
Rimsulfuron (1.2%): Targets broadleaf weeds by inhibiting the growth of plant cells.
Quizalofop-p-ethyl (4%): Specifically controls grasses, making it particularly effective against grasses like Johnsongrass and Bermudagrass.
Metribuzin (18%): A selective herbicide that targets both broadleaf weeds and grasses, further enhancing the herbicide’s effectiveness.
These active ingredients work synergistically, leading to a more powerful and efficient herbicide that targets multiple types of weeds, reducing the need for multiple applications.
3. Systemic Action
Xtra Care Herbicide works systemically, meaning that the herbicide is absorbed by the leaves and roots of the weeds. Once absorbed, it translocates throughout the plant, killing the weed from the inside out.
This systemic action ensures long-lasting control by preventing regrowth and further weed infestations, which is crucial for maintaining optimal conditions for potato growth.
4. Rainfast Formulation
The rainfast formulation of Xtra Care Herbicide ensures its effectiveness even in adverse weather conditions. After application, once the herbicide has dried on the plant, it remains unaffected by rain.
This feature guarantees that your herbicide application will continue to provide effective weed control, even if unexpected rainfall occurs shortly after spraying.
5. Versatility in Application
Xtra Care 23OD offers flexibility in its application, making it suitable for use in both pre-emergence and post-emergence stages.
