Sylon 750 is a non-selective, post-emergence herbicide used to control a wide range of broadleaf weeds in a variety of crops, including cereals, oilseeds, fruits, and vegetables. It is available in a water-soluble granular formulation and is applied as a foliar spray.

Active Ingredient

The active ingredient in Sylon 750 is imazapic, a member of the imidazolinone herbicide family. Imazapic inhibits photosynthesis in plants, leading to their death.

Controlled Weeds

Sylon 750 is effective on a wide range of broadleaf weeds, including:

Annual grasses: barnyardgrass, foxtail barley, green foxtail, junglerice, knotgrass, panicum grasses, pigweed, quackgrass, ryegrass, wild oats

Broadleaf weeds: bindweed, chickweed, clover, dandelion, dock, knotweed, plantain, purslane, sowthistle, sunflower

Application Rates

The application rate of Sylon 750 varies depending on the crop, the weed species, and the stage of growth. For example, the application rate for controlling annual grasses in wheat is 0.2 kg/ha, while the application rate for controlling broadleaf weeds in canola is 0.25 kg/ha.

Application Timing

Sylon 750 is most effective when applied to actively growing weeds. It can be applied anytime after the crop has emerged, but it is best to apply it before the weeds have reached the flowering stage.

Safety Precautions

Sylon 750 is a hazardous substance and should be handled with care. When using Sylon 750, wear protective clothing, including gloves, goggles, and long pants and sleeves. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Do not apply Sylon 750 near waterways or wetlands.

Environmental Considerations

Sylon 750 is toxic to aquatic organisms and should not be applied near waterways or wetlands. The herbicide can be broken down by bacteria in the soil, but it can persist in the environment for several months.

Overall, Sylon 750 is an effective herbicide for controlling a wide range of broadleaf weeds in a variety of crops. However, it is important to use the herbicide safely and responsibly to protect human health and the environment.
