What is Thiencarbazone?

Thiencarbazone-methyl, or Thiencarbazone for short, is a broad-spectrum sulfonyl-amino-carbonyl triazolinone herbicide. The active ingredient can be used as a pre- or post-emergent selective herbicide to control grasses and broadleaf weeds in corn, delivering an effective tandem of foliar and residual action.

The agricultural industry originally used Thiencarbazone to protect corn from invasive annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. Thiencarbazone-methyl is taken into the weeds through aerial portions of the plants and from the soil. As a result, Thiencarbazone offers a strong residual component for weed control.

How Does Thiencarbazone Work?

Mode of Action

Thiencarbazone controls weeds by inhibiting photosynthesis in the target plant. It disrupts membranes and inhibits photosynthesis in plants by blocking the ALS enzyme, which is necessary for plant growth. Thiencarbazone is taken up into the plant through the roots. Plants that do happen to emerge from the soil die after being exposed to sunlight. It also works on foliar contact, causing rapid desiccation.

Benefits of Thiencarbazone

Thiencarbazone is effective as either a post-emergent or pre-emergent form of invasive weed and brush control. It has a broad label and is selective so your desired plants will be unharmed, only the weeds will die.

Use Thiencarbazone when dealing with broadleaf and grassy weeds if you want a selective option for adequate control.

Drawbacks of Thiencarbazone

Thiencarbazone can be ineffective against certain weeds due to factors like weather and application timing. Do not use Thiencarbazone if rain is in the immediate forecast, as it may wash away the product.

Is Thiencarbazone Safe?

Thiencarbazone is safe when applied according to label instructions. When handling Thiencarbazone (or any of the other chemicals we carry), it is recommended that you wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE) before handling or applying it. Gloves, goggles, and long-sleeved clothing should be the minimum standard. Please refer to the label for proper safety instructions.

What To Expect

After applying Thiencarbazone, you should see a noticeable difference in the target weed within a few days (yellowing, wilting, etc.). Within 1 to 3 weeks, the target weed should be completely controlled. Make a second application if regrowth is observed 30-60 days later, but do not exceed the product label's maximum application rate per year.
