Symatic is a selective, post-emergence herbicide manufactured by Syngenta. It contains Pinoxaden 5.1% EC as the active ingredient, making it highly effective for controlling grass weeds in wheat crops.
Key Features and Benefits:
Selective action: Specifically targets grass weeds while leaving the wheat crop unharmed.
Post-emergence control: Applied after the weeds have emerged, providing flexibility in application timing.
Systemic action: Absorbed by the leaves and translocated throughout the weed, ensuring effective control.
Fast action: Provides rapid control of susceptible weeds.
Improved yield and quality: By effectively controlling grass weeds, Symatic helps improve wheat yield and grain quality.
Mode of Action:
Symatic belongs to the Phenylpyrazoline (DEN) class of herbicides. It works by inhibiting Acetyl CoA Carboxylase (ACCase), an enzyme crucial for fatty acid synthesis in plants. This disruption affects cell membrane formation and other vital processes, leading to the death of the target weeds.
Targeted Weeds:
Symatic is particularly effective against key grass weeds in wheat, including:
Wild oats (Avena fatua)
Ryegrass (Lolium spp.)
Brome grasses (Bromus spp.)
Barley grass (Hordeum leporinum)
Application:
Symatic is applied as a foliar spray, ensuring good coverage of the target weeds. The optimal timing for application is when the weeds are actively growing and at the recommended growth stage. Always follow the application rates and guidelines provided on the product label.
Safety Precautions:
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and applying Symatic.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
Do not inhale the spray mist.
Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
