Weeds cause significant crop damage across India, resulting in lower farm yields. This has a big impact on the income of farmers. Sencor by Bayer is a selective herbicide that can help in weed control and crop protection from a variety of grasses and broadleaf weeds. 

Sencor contains metribuzin, a highly effective herbicide developed by Bayer CropScience. Metribuzin protects wheat, tomato, soybean, potato, and sugarcane from different kinds of weeds with its broad-spectrum action. Sencor has no long-term impact on subsequent crops and improves agriculture output.

How it works?

Sencor is a selective herbicide that is effective against various kinds of weeds. Sencor provides broad-spectrum control for both grasses and broadleaf weeds,

and it can be sprayed either before or after weeds emerge. Sencor is safe for crops, cost-effective, and convenient to use. 

Mode of action

Sencor contains metribuzin, an herbicide that effectively controls weeds in crops such as wheat, potato, soybean, tomato, and sugarcane. It works both before and after weed emergence. 

The mode of action involves absorption through the roots and leaves of weeds, preventing photosynthesis. This affects the normal growth and development of weeds, ultimately leading to their death.
