Description
Product Description
Bayer sencor herbicide is a post-emergence, selective herbicide that is used to control a range of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in a variety of crops. It is formulated as a wettable powder (WP) and is applied to the leaves of the weeds.
Technical Composition
Bayer Sencor contains 70% w/w of the active ingredient metribuzin. Metribuzin is a member of the triazine family of herbicides. It works by inhibiting photosynthesis, which is the process that plants use to convert sunlight into energy.
Mode of Action
Sencor herbicide is absorbed by the leaves of the weeds and then translocated throughout the plant. It accumulates in the chloroplasts, which are the plant's "powerhouses". Once it reaches the chloroplasts, metribuzin inhibits photosynthesis, which prevents the plant from producing energy. This leads to the death of the plant cells and the eventual death of the plant.
