TOPRAMEZONE 2% + NICOSULFURON 3% + TERBUTHYLAZINE 20% OD
A post-emergence Oil Dispersion (OD) herbicide containing three complementary active ingredients that provide broad-spectrum control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in maize. Delivering rapid knockdown, residual soil activity, and extended weed control for improved crop establishment and higher yield potential.
Product Information
Topramezone (HRAC Group 27 / HPPD inhibitor) inhibits carotenoid biosynthesis, causing tissue bleaching and necrosis. Nicosulfuron (HRAC Group 2 / ALS inhibitor) inhibits acetolactate synthase, preventing essential amino acid synthesis and halting weed growth. Terbuthylazine (HRAC Group 5 / Photosystem II inhibitor) inhibits photosynthesis and provides residual soil activity against germinating weed seeds. This combination delivers foliar and residual control while managing resistance risks.

Recommended Application Guidance
| Crop | Target Weeds | Application Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Maize | Annual grasses and broadleaf weeds | Apply early post-emergence when maize is at the 2–6 leaf stage and weeds are actively growing (2–4 leaf stage). Uniform spray coverage is essential for optimum control. |
| Maize | Mixed weed flora | Apply before weeds exceed the recommended growth stage. Avoid applications to stressed weeds or crops affected by drought, waterlogging, nutrient deficiency, or extreme temperatures. |
| Maize | Residual weed control | The terbuthylazine component provides residual soil activity, suppressing subsequent weed emergence for several weeks after application. Adequate soil moisture following application improves residual performance. |
