Estok WG is a systemic herbicide produced by Avgust, designed to effectively combat annual and perennial dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous weeds in cereal crops, legumes, and other agricultural crops.
Active Ingredient
- Fluroxypyr: 200 g/kg
Fluroxypyr is an active substance from the pyridyloxy purine class that works by inhibiting the growth and development of target plants, causing them to wilt and dry out.
Protected Crops
- Winter and spring wheat
- Barley
- Legumes (e.g., soybeans, beans)
- Rice
Weed Control Spectrum
Monocotyledonous weeds:
- Wild oats (Avena spp.)
- Barnyard grass (Echinochloa spp.)
Dicotyledonous weeds:
- Pigweed (Amaranthus spp.)
- Perennial weeds such as Cirsium arvense (Canada thistle) and Convolvulus arvensis (field bindweed).
Mode of Action
- Systemic: Fluroxypyr is rapidly absorbed through the leaves and translocated to the roots and stems, where it inhibits growth processes in the target plants.
- Visible Symptoms: Within 5–10 days of application, weeds begin to show signs of yellowing and wilting.
- Complete Effectiveness: The complete destruction of weeds typically occurs within 2 to 4 weeks.
Dosage and Application
- Recommended Dose:
- Wheat/Barley: 40–60 g/ha
- Legumes: 30–50 g/ha
- Water Volume: 200–400 l/ha, depending on vegetation density and weather conditions.
- Timing of Application:
- Wheat/Barley: Post-emergence, when weeds are at the 2–6 leaf stage.
- Legumes: At the 3–4 leaf stage of the crops and 2–6 leaf stage of the weeds.
Advantages
- Broad Spectrum Control: Effective against both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds.
- Rapid and Efficient Action: Weeds are completely destroyed within 2–4 weeks.
- Flexibility: Can be used on a wide range of agricultural crops.
- WG Formula: Easy to apply, water-soluble granules ensure uniform distribution.
Safety Recommendations
- Apply only under favorable weather conditions (avoid strong winds, rain, or extreme temperatures).
- Prevent contamination of surface water or soil.
- Use appropriate protective equipment during application.
Estok WG is a reliable herbicide for farmers, providing efficient protection against a wide range of weeds and contributing to maximizing crop yields.
