A broad-spectrum pre-mix herbicide for effective, long-duration control of grass and broad-leaf weeds in maize and sugarcane.
ZEAPRIME is a pre-mix of mesotrione 2.27% and atrazine 22.7% in an SC formulation. It delivers effective, long-duration control of both grass weeds and broad-leaf weeds, which makes it a reliable choice for season-long weed management in maize and sugarcane.
Mesotrione is absorbed by both the foliage and the roots and moves upward and downward within the plant, where it inhibits the HPPD enzyme that weeds need for growth. Atrazine is a selective systemic herbicide that inhibits photosystem II, disrupting photosynthesis and leading to the death of the weed.
“Mesotrione 2.27% + Atrazine 22.7% SC for long-duration weed control in maize and sugarcane.”
ZEAPRIME is used in maize and sugarcane against weeds such as Trianthema spp., Echinochloa spp., Digitaria sanguinalis, Dactyloctenium aegyptium and Cyperus spp., applied at the 3–4 leaf stage of the weeds.
Application rate: 1,400 ml per acre in 200 litres of water.
