DinaZone -Oustanding pre-emergence herbicide on sugarcane
Secure your sugarcane crop with Arysta LifeScience’s flagship sugarcane pre-emergent herbicide, DinaZone™. DinaZone™ is a pre-emergent herbicide recommendation that encompasses the unique strengths of two products ensuring the best control for creepers and grasses. It constitutes, Dinamic® 700 WG, a water-dispersible granule herbicide for certain broadleaf and grass weeds as well as the suppression of yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus), recommended together with DropZone 500 WP, which is a selective residual pre-emergence wettable powder herbicide for the control of annual grasses and some broadleaf weeds.
Dinamic® a well-established product in the sugarcane industry, consisting of a triazolinone herbicide which exhibits excellent efficacy due to its rapid absorption and translocation. It is well-known for its excellent long-term pre-emergent broadleaf weed control and effect on yellow nutsedge. Dinamic is resistant to ultra violet degradation. It is a potent inhibitor of photosynthetic electron transport and has a good selectivity profile. DropZone 500 WP, is also readily absorbed by roots / shoot, and is transported by xylem to the foliage. The unique feature of this herbicide is its ability to perform in both dry and moist conditions. The benefits of this double action, group F and C, provides two modes of action for reduced risk of weed resistance. Often known as the, ‘one shot’ application, DinaZone™ has impressive residual action. Further with its excellent burn-down properties on germinated weed, other herbicides, such as Paraquat® and MSMA become unnecessary. Performances are consistent and out performs industry standards providing peace of mind and reliability.
