Urumi - Mesotrione 2.27% + Atrazine 22.7% SC - Parijat

Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits

• 🧩  Two herbicides in one premix: Mesotrione and atrazine are already combined in one suspension concentrate, without separately preparing that two-product mixture.
  
• 🌱  Grass and broadleaf targets: Crop-specific lists include crabgrass, crowfoot grass and Trianthema, with additional species kept to their own crop entry.
  
• 🔬  Two distinct action groups: HPPD inhibition and photosystem II inhibition affect different weed processes and must both be considered in resistance planning.
  
• 🌿  Uptake and internal movement: The ingredients enter through foliage and roots and move within susceptible weeds, rather than acting only where a droplet lands.
  
• 🎯  A defined weed-stage window: The single-spray use is tied to actively growing weeds with 2–4 leaves, making field scouting part of application planning.
  

Technical Specifications

How It Works: Mode of Action

1. Ingredients enter and move within the weed: Both foliar and root uptake contribute. Mesotrione moves upward and downward; atrazine is taken up mainly by roots and moves upward through water-conducting tissue.
   
2. Mesotrione inhibits HPPD: Group 27 disrupts a pathway involved in protective plant pigments, impairing normal development of susceptible weeds.
   
3. Atrazine inhibits photosystem II: Group 5 interferes with photosynthesis, the process plants use to capture light energy. This is a different target from mesotrione’s HPPD action.
   

Both groups count in resistance management. Two mechanisms do not guarantee control of every weed, remove resistance risk, authorise an extra spray or establish safety on unlisted crops. No fixed kill time, duration of control or rainfastness guarantee is implied.

Target Crops & Weeds

The lists are not identical: sugarcane includes Amaranthus viridis and names Echinochloa colona, while maize lists Echinochloa spp. Do not transfer an extra crop target, add sedges or extend the programme to another crop.

Dosage & Application Guide

Crop-Specific Rates, Weed Stage & Harvest Intervals

PHI is the minimum interval between the last application and harvest, not worker re-entry. Per-acre quantities are approximate equivalents of the hectare rates. Measure by treated area; tank capacity alone does not establish the application quantity or authorise another spray.

How to Apply: Best Practices

• Identify crop and weeds: Match every target to the correct maize or sugarcane row. Do not infer sedge control or transfer sugarcane’s green-amaranth entry to maize.
  
• Scout for the weed stage: Apply the single post-emergence treatment while the listed weeds are actively growing with 2–4 leaves. Do not substitute crop leaf count, an invented pre-emergence use or an automatic repeat schedule.
  
• Keep the full crop row together: Measure the product and water for the treated area and retain that crop’s harvest restriction. Check the pack separately for worker re-entry, crop sensitivity and weather directions.
  
• Mix with thorough agitation: Mix the measured quantity well with a small amount of water in the sprayer tank using thorough agitation, then add the remaining prescribed water. Work in a ventilated place and use a suitable tool, never bare hands.
  
• Use even coverage and the correct nozzle: Use a knapsack sprayer with a flat-fan or flood-jet nozzle. Maintain the equipment, avoid gaps and concentrated overlaps, and never clear a blocked nozzle with the mouth.
  
• Prevent drift in suitable weather: Do not spray against the wind, in strong wind or during the hottest part of the day. Keep spray away from adjacent crops, people and animals, and follow the pack’s weather precautions.
  
• Do not assume an extra additive is needed: The formulation includes an inbuilt adjuvant. Add a wetter, oil, herbicide or other product only when both current labels permit the proposed combination for the crop; a premix is not permission for further mixing.
