Description
About Product
- Tembotrione 34.4% SC is a selective, post-emergence herbicide used for controlling broadleaf and grassy weeds in maize (corn) crops by inhibiting the HPPD enzyme, which disrupts the synthesis of vital plant pigments.
- This leads to a characteristic “bleaching” of weeds, followed by their death, while leaving the maize crop unharmed.
- The formulation is a Suspension Concentrate (SC) and is often applied with a surfactant to improve its effectiveness.
Technical Content
- Tembotrione 34.4% SC
Features
- Efficacy Boosters: Recommended for use with a surfactant to enhance its effectiveness.
- Benefits Broad-Spectrum Control: Effective against a wide range of broadleaf and grassy weeds.
- Crop Safety: Safe for maize crops when applied correctly.
- Low Use Rate: Can be effective at relatively low application rates, contributing to its ecological sustainability.
- Flexibility: Allows for early to late post-emergence application, providing convenience for farmers.
- Long-Lasting Control: Helps ensure long-lasting weed control, reducing competition for nutrients, water, and sunlight
Mode of Action
- It is a Tri-ketone herbicide that inhibits the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) enzyme, which is essential for carotenoid biosynthesis.
- This process prevents the weeds from creating essential plant pigments and chlorophyll.
- Effect: The affected weeds will display bleaching symptoms and die.
- Type: Selective and systemic post-emergence herbicide.
- Formulation: Suspension Concentrate (SC), meaning it is an liquid formulation that forms a suspension when mixed with water.
Dosage
11.5 ml in 15 litter water
Additional Information
- Crop: Maize (Corn)
- Target Weeds: Broadleaf and grassy weeds
- Application: It is a post-emergence herbicide, typically applied 12-15 days after sowing, when weeds are in the 2-4 leaf stage.
