Range of Application:
Maize
Weed control spectrum:
Annual broad-leaved weeds such as Xanthium strumarium, Ambrosia trifida, Abutilon theophrasti, Chenopodium, Amaranthus and Polygonum spp. and a few of gramineous weeds.
Mode of action:
p-Hydroxyphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase inhibitor, which ultimately affects carotenoid biosynthesis. Selectivity in maize derives from differential metabolism (to the 4-hydroxy derivative) and also possibly from slower foliar uptake. Uptake is foliar and via the root, with both acropetal and basipetal translocation. Symptoms are whitening of leaves, followed by necrosis of the meristematic tissue.
Announcements:
Mesotrione is excellent safety to corn.
