Quindear Herbicide is a selective, post-emergence herbicide registered for use in a variety of agricultural and non-agricultural settings. Its active ingredient, Halosulfuron-methyl, works by disrupting photosynthesis in susceptible plants, ultimately leading to their death. Quindear is a selective, systemic herbicide containing the active ingredient Halosulfuron-methyl. It’s primarily used for post-emergence control of broadleaf weeds and sedges in various agricultural settings, including:
Cereals: Wheat, barley, oats, and rye
Pastures: Established and over-sown pastures
Non-crop areas: Industrial sites, fallow land, and rights-of-way
Mode of Action:
Halosulfuron-methyl works by inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS), which is crucial for amino acid synthesis in plants. This disrupts protein production and ultimately leads to weed death.
Characteristics
Selective: Halosulfuron-methyl targets broadleaf weeds and sedges, with minimal impact on most grasses.
Systemic: Quindear absorbed by both leaves and roots, providing effective control of established weeds.
Soil persistence: Can persist in soil for several months, depending on conditions, offering residual weed control.
Low volatility: Minimizes risks of drift and off-target damage.
Efficacy:
Mode of Action:

Quindear is effective against a wide range of broadleaf weeds, including:
Dandelions
Clovers
Thistles
Chickweed
Plantains
Nutsedge
Foxtail barley
Product Features:
- Selective: Quindear primarily targets broadleaf weeds, minimizing harm to desired plants.
- Flexibility: It can be used in various settings, including agriculture, forestry, rights-of-way, and ornamental landscapes.
- Residual activity: Quindear provides some residual control, preventing new weed emergence for a certain period.
- Tank mix compatibility: It can be tank-mixed with other herbicides to broaden the spectrum of weed control.
Precautions To Be Taken While Using Quindear Herbicide
Follow all label instructions carefully to ensure safe and effective use.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during application.
Be mindful of weather conditions to avoid drift and potential harm to non-target plants.
Rotate herbicide use to prevent weed resistance development.
Consider integrated weed management (IWM) practices for long-term weed control success.
