Abstract

The paper presents the results of the research on biological and economic effciency of the new herbicide Femida, OD (2,4 D-acid, 320 g/l of 2-ethylhexyl ester + 4.2 g/l of chlorsulfuron) produced by Schelkovo Agrohim, Ltd., Russia. It’s established that with protection of winter wheat at the tillering stage in spring the reduction of infestation with annual and perennial weeds amounts to more than 85 %, in particular, blind weed, lamb’s-quarters, feld scorpion grass, dead beans – 100 %; wild camomile – 85,4–100 %, scratch grass – 78,3–100 %, blue bottle flower – 95,5–100 %, feld violet – 65,7–80.7 %, feld sow thistle – 91,7–100 %.
