Product scienceHow It Works
Mesotrione (HRAC Group 27) inhibits hydroxyphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), disrupting carotenoid formation in susceptible weeds. Atrazine (HRAC Group 5) inhibits photosynthesis at Photosystem II. The premix therefore combines two classified sites of action, but this does not replace label-led resistance management. Avoid repeated reliance on the same herbicide groups and follow local agronomic advice.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide
The field rate governs: do not change the product dose merely because a different sprayer or tank size is used.
| Crop | Product rate | Water volume | Waiting period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maize | 3,500 ml/ha (1,400 ml/acre) | 500 L/ha (200 L/acre) | 42 days |
| Sugarcane | 3,500 ml/ha (1,400 ml/acre) | 500 L/ha (200 L/acre) | 190 days |
Waiting period means the minimum interval between the last application and harvest. Confirm all directions on the current pack label before spraying.
Useful detailsHow to Apply Responsibly
- Confirm the crop and weeds: Use only in label-listed maize or sugarcane and only for the listed weed spectrum.
- Spray at the correct stage: Syngenta recommends the 3-4 leaf stage of weeds.
- Use suitable equipment: Apply with a calibrated knapsack sprayer and a flat-fan or flood-jet nozzle.
- Measure the full field rate: Use 1,400 ml product and 200 litres of clean water per acre unless the current label directs otherwise.
- Prevent drift and exposure: Do not spray in conditions that can carry droplets onto people, water bodies, neighbouring fields or sensitive crops.
- Do not assume compatibility: Tank-mix only when the current label expressly permits it or a qualified crop adviser confirms compatibility.
