Active Ingredient & Formulation:
- Foramsulfuron: 31.5 g/L
- Iodosulfuron-methyl: 1.0 g/L
- Tiencarbazon-methyl: 10 g/L
- Ciprosulfamid (safener): 15 g/L
- Formulation: Oil dispersion (OD)
- Packaging: Typically available in 5 L canisters
Mode of Action:
Mais Ter Power OD 57.5 works by inhibiting the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme, crucial for amino acid synthesis, thereby halting weed growth. The product is quickly absorbed through the leaves and roots, moving systemically throughout the plant to stop growth and selectively kill target weeds. The safener ciprosulfamid enhances the metabolism of the herbicide in corn, protecting the crop from phytotoxic effects.
Directions for Use:
- Timing:
- Apply post-emergence when corn is at the 4-6 leaf stage and target weeds (both monocots and dicots) are young (2-4 leaves for monocots and 2-6 leaves for dicots).
- Recommended Rate:
- Preparation of the Working Solution:
- Dilute the recommended amount in 200-300 L of water as per technical guidelines; no additional adjuvants are needed.
- Application Method:
- Uniformly spray the solution using calibrated ground equipment.
- Application Conditions:
- Apply under favorable weather conditions (temperatures between 8-25°C) and avoid application during heavy dew or immediately after rainfall.
Weed Spectrum:
- Monocots: Includes species such as Agropyron repens (downy brome), Echinochloa crus-galli (barnyard grass), Setaria spp., Digitaria sanguinalis, etc.
- Dicots: Includes species such as Ambrosia artemisiifolia (common ragweed), Chenopodium album (lamb's quarters), Polygonum convolvulus, Sinapis arvensis (wild mustard), Solanum nigrum, etc.
Advantages:
- High efficacy against a wide range of weeds.
- No need for additional adjuvants thanks to its unique OD formulation.
- Enhanced adhesion and penetration into weed tissues.
- Protects corn due to the inclusion of the safener ciprosulfamid.
