A powerful new grassland weedkiller has
been introduced in Ireland for 2021.  The
product is available as two brands – GrassCare Pro and Santro.  

For many years, individual weedkillers have
controlled only a narrow range of weeds leaving farmers with difficult choices
regarding which product would be suitable for their situations. Now with either
GrassCare or Santro, the choice is made easier due to the broad range of weeds
controlled effectively.

According to Denis Madigan of DHM
Agrochemicals, “The ingredients in these products have been  proven to provide effective control of dock,
buttercup, thistle, dandelion and other weeds over many years. Now, these
weedkiller formulations are available at much better value to farmers”.

Ireland distributor DHM have been
introducing effective and good value weed control solutions to the Irish market
for the past 25 years.

These products are supplied by Sharda
Cropchem, a leading global provider of agrochemicals.

GrassCare Pro and Santro contain three
powerful and effective proven weed control ingredients

The product makeup is as follows:

Fluroxypyr          100
grams per litre

Florasulam          2.5
grams per litre

Clopyralid            80
grams per litre

Fluroxypyr is a highly
effective herbicide for the control of docks and chickweed. This ingredient is
contained in some of the leading brands of grassland herbicides. Following
application, fluroxypyr moves to the weed root systems thus allowing for
effective root kill.Florasulam is effective against
a broad range of grassland weeds. The inclusion of this ingredient in GrassCare
Pro and Santro ensures a much wider level of weed control in pasturesClopyralid adds a powerful
additional ingredient particularly for thistle control in grassland.

This combination of  ingredients provides probably the widest
spectrum and best value of weed control products available for Irish pastures.

GrassCare Pro and Santro
are available in convenient 5 litre packs [...]

Grassland Weed Control Advice

Background

Effective weed control in grassland is a constant challenge for Irish farmers. This year in particular has seen very wet weather conditions which will have implications for weed control.

Therefore, grass has been [...]

We have now entered the post patent phase of the valuable prothioconazole cereal and oilseed rape fungicide. As such, cereal growers can make significant savings this season.

Prothioconazole has become the most widely used triazole active ingredient in Ireland due to its reliability in controlling a wide range of crop diseases. The brands available are Protendo and Pecari and both are supplied in one and five litre packs. Both products come from the well regarded and fast growing international agrichemical company Globachem, who also supply well known brands such as Diflanil, Spirodor, Tebucur, Moxa and Globaztar into the Irish crop protection market.

Protendo and Pecari both contain 250 grams per litre of prothioconazole. Both products are cleared for use on winter and spring wheat, barley and oats as well as on oilseed rape crops, rye and triticale. The products can be tank mixed with a wide range of fungicide partners to give a broader range of disease control and to minimize disease resistance development. Both products move in a translaminar and acropetal manner within the crop thus helping to give long term disease control.

Protendo and Pecari are available from usual agrichemical suppliers.In Ireland, these products are distributed by DHM Agrochemicals.
