Tembotrione 8% OD: A Powerful Post-Emergence Herbicide for Corn. As an HPPD inhibitor, Tembotrione reduces plastoquinone and tocopherol in plants, causing chlorosis, fading, tissue necrosis, and ultimately plant death in weeds.
Here are some key advantages of this product:
Broad-Spectrum Control: Tembotrione 8% OD offers excellent post-emergence control against both annual broadleaf and grass weeds, including tough species like Amaranthus spp. 、Solanum spp.、Ipomoea spp.、Ambrosia spp.、Setaria spp.、Panicum spp.、Hibiscus trionum、Conyza canadensis、Sicyos angulatus、 Digitaria sanguinalis、Echinochloa crus-galli、Eriochloa villosa.
Residual Control: The product remains active in the soil during the growing season, providing extended weed control without limiting crop rotation opportunities in the following season.
Environmental Persistence:
Tembotrione exhibits varying persistence in soil environments:
Laboratory Conditions:DT50 (20°C, aerobic) = 137-207 days (tested in 5 soils)
Field Conditions:DT50 = 9-81 days (tested in 6 soils)
Resistance Management: Effective against glyphosate-, PPO-, ALS-, and dicamba-resistant weeds, making it a valuable tool in resistance management strategies.
For optimal effectiveness, please follow these usage instructions:
Temperature and Weather Conditions: The herbicide is most effective when the temperature is above 25°C (77°F); at temperatures below 20°C (68°F), its effectiveness reduces to only 30-40%. Therefore, for post-emergence weed control in corn, choose a sunny day with an average temperature above 25°C (77°F). Avoid spraying during midday heat and apply when there is no wind.
Dosage and Method: Use the stem and leaf spray method. Apply 800-1200 ml/ha with a water volume of 525-600 L/ha.
Safety Interval: Stop application 45 days before corn harvest.
