Description
What is CRIPPLE
CRIPPLE is a high-performance herbicide formulated for potatoes. It combines three active ingredients: Rimsulfuron (1.5%), Quizalofop-P-Ethyl (5%), and Metribuzin (19.5% OD). This triple-action formula offers broad-spectrum control of annual weeds, protecting crops from competition for nutrients, water, and sunlight. CRIPPLE ensures better crop growth, higher yields, and healthy potatoes by targeting multiple weed types in one treatment.
Key Benefits
- Broad-spectrum weed control for potato fields.
- Triple-action formula with ALS, ACCase, and PSII inhibitors.
- Reduces manual weeding and labor costs.
- Supports healthy crop growth and higher potato yields.
- Easy to apply with standard spray equipment.
- Safe harvest with 60-70 days PHI.
How It Works
CRIPPLE combines three modes of action for effective weed control:
- Rimsulfuron (ALS inhibitor) – Stops weed growth by interfering with enzyme ALS, preventing essential amino acid formation.
- Quizalofop-P-Ethyl (ACCase inhibitor) – Stops cell division in grass weeds, targeting their leaves and stems.
- Metribuzin (Photosystem II inhibitor) – Blocks photosynthesis in broadleaf and grassy weeds, causing them to die.
This triple combination ensures that both broadleaf and grass weeds are controlled, reducing resistance risk and giving potatoes a clear growth advantage.
