Herbicides
Sencor®
A selective herbicide for wheat and broadleaf weeds in potatoes, planted tomatoes, carrots, wheat and barren soil. Sencor acts both as an emergence preventer and as an existing weeds herbicide. The eradicated weeds are: types of amaranth, garden purslane, goosefoots, mallow, heliotropium, crucifers (radish, mustard, wall-rocket, erucaria), bishop's weed, fumaria, buttercup, various grasses (wheat aftergrowth, oatmeal, phalaris, ryegrass, hairy crabgrass, jungle rice), field madder, devil's thorn, horseweed and lupine. Sencor partially prevents the emergence of blackcurrant (Solanum).

How to Apply
- Spray Sencor only according to the instructions for use that appear on the label.
- Do not spray Sencor during changes in weather conditions, such as right after rain, on rainy, cloudy, cold days or during an abrupt change to warm weather. In these cases postpone up to two days after the weather has stabilized and spray only when the plants are in good condition.
- When spraying with Sencor make sure to use appropriate equipment for spraying with herbicides. The equipment must be in working order and calibrated.
- To activate Sencor, irrigate the area after spraying with 30 m3/1000m2. To optimize the eradication of existing weeds, it is best to postpone irrigation by two days after the spraying.
- Optimal efficacy will be obtained when the weeds are no higher than 5 cm. Be careful when using Sencor near water - algae are very sensitive to the substance.
- Potatoes: Spraying is allowed only according to the list of strains that appears below the instructions for use table.
- Planted tomatoes: Spraying should begin starting from April 15, but not before the tomato plant has reached the stage of 4 developed leaves. Do not use Sencor on covered tomatoes. Pay special attention to calibration and exact dosage and avoid stopping and overlapping.
- Carrots: Pay special attention to calibration and exact dosage and avoid stopping and overlapping during spraying.
- Areas without cultivated plants: Spray before rain or make sure there is irrigation. In addition to residual preparations like Atrazine, Simazine and Diurex.
Key Indicators
- Wheat and broadleaf weeds
Active Ingredients
- Metribuzin : 70%
Mode of Action
- Metribuzin is a herbicide acting as an inhibitor of photosynthesis. Due to its root- and leaf-systemicity, metribuzin can be used as a pre- and post-emergence herbicide. If used in pre-emergence, metribuzin relies on the presence of moisture in the soil for broad spectrum weed control. Soil properties influence the herbicidal efficacy and crop tolerance of metribuzin. High contents in clay and/or humus need higher application rates.
