Product details
Sten Herbicide by Coromandel
A non-selective contact herbicide for emerged weeds. It can damage crops and other desirable plants; confirm the current Sten label before selecting a use.

Non-selective action: Can damage crops and desirable plants as well as weeds.
Before treatment: Match the crop and target to the supplied label and check the complete application and harvest directions.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌿Emerged-weed action: The manufacturer identifies a post-emergence role rather than a general pre-emergence soil treatment.
- 🎯Contact activity: Acts on treated weed tissue, making correct coverage important.
- 🌱Multiple weed types: The formulation references identify named grasses, sedges and broad-leaf weeds, not every weed species.
- 💧Liquid concentrate: The product is a 13.5% SL; do not substitute directions for a granule or another concentration.
- 🔄Distinct action group: HRAC Group 10 identifies its glutamine-synthetase-inhibiting action for rotation planning.

How It Works: Mode of Action
A non-selective contact herbicide for emerged weeds. It can damage crops and other desirable plants; confirm the current Sten label before selecting a use.
- Weed tissue is treated: Sten is described as a contact herbicide for emerged weeds.
- A plant enzyme is blocked: Glufosinate inhibits glutamine synthetase, disrupting normal nitrogen processing within susceptible plants.
- Tissue is damaged: This disruption damages treated weeds. Because the action is non-selective, exposure can also harm the crop.
Action groups help plan rotation. A different brand name does not necessarily mean a different mode of action. Follow crop-specific resistance-management directions.

Dosage & Application Guide
The table below gives qualified exact-formulation reference quantities, not a complete current Sten label programme. Confirm the supplied pack directions before treatment.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose/acre | Water/acre | Per litre | PHI (days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tea | Confirm label* | 152–202 L* | See note* | 15* |
| Cotton | Confirm label* | 202 L* | See note* | 96* |
| Non-crop area | Confirm label* | 202 L* | See note* | N/A* |
Verified original water references: tea 375–500 L/ha (about 152–202 L/acre), 15 days; cotton 500 L/ha (about 202 L/acre), 96 days; non-crop area 500 L/ha (about 202 L/acre), N/A. Product quantities are withheld because their units need confirmation. These paired references do not confirm the current Sten label programme.
*Qualified 13.5% SL (15% w/v) formulation references only, not current Sten crop approvals. Confirm the product-dose unit, exact concentration basis and complete pack directions before treatment. Do not infer a dose from active-ingredient figures.
No separate per-litre or tank dose is given. Obtain the application method, crop-stage timing, repeat interval, maximum applications, rainfast time and re-entry interval from the supplied label.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm the exact pack and use: Check glufosinate ammonium 13.5% SL, the concentration basis, approved crop or site and named weeds. Do not use a similarly named product’s directions.
- Prevent crop contact: Non-selective herbicides can injure desirable plants. Use only the label-authorised equipment, method and crop protection precautions; do not assume an over-the-crop spray is allowed.
- Check mixtures and rotation: Do not assume compatibility with another pesticide, fertiliser or adjuvant. Follow label restrictions and rotate appropriately between action groups.
- Record treatment and harvest: Record the product, crop and date. Follow the applicable harvest waiting period and field-entry precautions on the supplied label.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this Sten product contain?Glufosinate ammonium 13.5% SL. Check this exact composition on the pack; do not rely on the brand name alone.
Can it be sprayed over a standing crop?Do not assume that is permitted. Sten is non-selective and can injure crops. Follow the exact label method and keep treatment away from desirable plants.
Are tea, cotton and non-crop areas confirmed Sten approvals?No. The table gives qualified formulation references. The current Sten pack must confirm the intended crop or site and named weeds before use.
Is the waiting period the same for tea and cotton?No. The qualified reference gives 15 days for tea and 96 days for cotton. N/A for non-crop areas is not permission for food-crop treatment or immediate field entry.
Can I use a tank dose or rainfast time from another glufosinate product?No. Confirm the current Sten label for concentration basis, application method, weed stage, water, rainfast time and any restrictions.
