Tembo Guard is a broad-spectrum post-emergence herbicide recommended for use along with surfactant for control of broadleaf and grassy weeds in corn. Tambourine, the active ingredient in Tembo Guard.
The addition of isoxadifen, protects corn from herbicide stress and offers crop tolerance, even under very challenging corn growing conditions.
MODE OF ACTION:
Tembotrione, the active ingredient in Tembo Guard, inhibits the activity of the 4 hydroxy-phenyl-pyruvate-dioxygenase (4 HPPD) enzymes. The formation of carotenoids (plant pigments) is disrupted by the blockage of the enzyme. Depletion of carotenoids deprives chlorophyll - where photosynthesis takes place - of its protection against an overdose of light and this results in chlorophyll bleaching.
The symptoms of Tembo Guard action become visible fast and the full weed control effect is seen within a few days of application.
ADVANTAGES:
- Sets new standard in crop safety with no known variety restriction
- Performs consistently
- Tembo Guard ensures a broad spectrum of performance
- Works fast, rapidly rainfast.
- Offers maximum convenience - early to late post-emergence application
- Has minimal carry-over potential.
Dosage:- 115 ml per Acre
