Racer 250 EC

Racer 250 EC is a systemic post-emergence herbicide formulated as a suspension concentrate (EC) designed for effective weed control in corn and cereal crops. The product contains 250 g/L of active ingredient (exact details are provided on the label) and delivers fast, selective action to protect the crop. Details

Description

Ingredients & Formulation:

  • Active Ingredient: Racer 250 EC contains 250 g/L of the active component (please refer to the label for exact details, such as the chemical group, e.g., phenoxyacetone derivatives).
  • Formulation: Suspension Concentrate (EC).
  • Packaging: Available in 1 L and 5 L containers.

Mode of Action:

  • The product is rapidly absorbed through weed foliage and is translocated systemically via the xylem and phloem.
  • It works by inhibiting essential metabolic processes (e.g., amino acid synthesis), leading to growth cessation, leaf discoloration, and eventual selective necrosis of the weeds.
  • Its selectivity protects corn and cereal crops, which can metabolize the active ingredient without adverse effects.

Directions for Use:

  1. Crops:
    • Suitable for corn and cereal crops.
  2. Timing:
    • Apply post-emergence when target weeds are in the early growth stage (typically 2–4 leaves) and the crop is at the optimal stage (e.g., 4–6 leaves, BBCH 14–16).
  3. Recommended Rate:
    • For moderate infestations, apply approximately 1.0 L/ha; for severe infestations, adjust the rate up to 1.5 L/ha according to technical guidelines.
  4. Preparation:
    • Dilute the recommended dose in 200–400 L of water per hectare, following label instructions.
  5. Application Method:
    • Uniformly spray the solution over the entire crop area using calibrated ground equipment.
  6. Precautions:
    • Apply under favorable weather conditions (temperatures between 8 and 25°C). Avoid application immediately before or after rainfall; ensure no rain for at least 4–5 hours post-application for optimal absorption.

Advantages:

  • Provides fast and systemic weed control.
  • High selectivity ensures crop safety by allowing the crop to metabolize the active ingredient without phytotoxic effects.
  • Efficient formulation that is easy to prepare and apply, with no need for additional adjuvants.
