Description
Maguguma Maize Herbicides | 1L is a dual-pack or premix bundle containing two key herbicides for pre- and post-emergent weed control in maize.
Key Features & Applications:
-
Dual-Action Protection:
-
Pre-emergent: Forms soil barrier → stops weeds before emergence.
-
Post-emergent: Kills established weeds after maize emergence (up to 5-leaf stage).
-
-
Critical Timing:
-
Pre: Apply immediately after planting (before rain/irrigation).
-
Post: Spray when weeds are 2–5 cm tall (maize at 3–5 leaves).
-
-
Dosage (1L Pack):
-
Pre: 600–800 ml/acre in 200L water (soil spray).
-
Post: 400–600 ml/acre in 200L water (foliar spray).
-
Application Guide:
-
Pre-Emergent:
-
Apply to moist soil within 48h of planting.
-
Incorporate via rain/irrigation (activates herbicide).
-
-
Post-Emergent:
-
Spray at maize 3–5 leaf stage (weeds <5cm tall).
-
Avoid spraying under drought/high heat (>30°C).
-
Weed Control Spectrum:
| Effectively Controlled | Weak/Resistant Weeds |
|---|---|
| Annual grasses (Foxtail, Setaria) | Perennials (Couch grass) |
| Broadleaves (Amaranthus, Bidens) | Sedges (Purple nutsedge) |
| Volunteer cereals | Large/woody weeds |
Typical Composition (Probable Actives):
| Component | Active Ingredient | Target Weeds | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-Emergent | S-Metolachlor (e.g., 30%) | Annual grasses (Foxtail, Crabgrass) | Stops root growth in germinating weeds |
| Post-Emergent | Atrazine (e.g., 50%) | Broadleaves (Pigweed, Blackjack) | Systemic kill via leaves/roots |
Alternative pre-emergent: Acetochlor; Post-emergent: Nicosulfuron.
Advantages & Precautions:
Advantages:
-
Dual-action allows versatile use both pre- and early post-emergence.
-
Broad-spectrum weed control.
-
Soil stability ensures long-lasting activity in diverse field conditions.
Considerations:
-
Selective only for maize: can damage other crops like beans.
-
Highly flammable and irritating: use PPE and rinse contact areas thoroughly.
-
Avoid drift: don’t spray on mixed/intercropped fields.
-
Pre-harvest interval: 45 days, re-entry waiting ≥2–3 days post-application
