Technical Name: Topramezone 33.6% SC
Raclera is a post-emergent herbicide designed to control a broad spectrum of narrow and broad leafy weeds in corn. With its active ingredient Topramezone 33.6% SC), Raclera offers exceptional weed control while ensuring crop safety and increased yield. It is recommended to apply Raclera at the 2-5 leaf stage of the weeds for optimal results.
Mode of Action:
Topramezone, the active ingredient in Raclera, works by inhibiting the enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), which is crucial for the biosynthesis of carotenoids. This inhibition leads to the depletion of carotenoids, causing the destruction of chlorophyll and ultimately resulting in the death of the weed.
Benefits:
Effectively kills all major narrow and broad leafy weeds in corn.
Completely safe for all corn species at all growth stages.
Reduces crop weed competition, leading to higher yields and reduced cost of cultivation.
Target Crops: Maize
Dosage:
Dosage/Hectare: 75 to 100 ml 2 ml/L water
Application Method:
Apply Raclera at the 2-5 leaf stage of the weeds.
Use in combination with SOLARO & OUTRIGHT for synergistic effects. Prepare Raclera+ SOLARO stock solution before application.
Apply under moist field conditions using a flat fan nozzle.
