Eliot®Max, MD Herbicide

Synergy of three components

At the core of "Eliot®Max, OD" lies a sophisticated combination of three active substances: nicosulfuron, mesotrione, and triketone. This synergy transforms the product into a universal tool for corn fields requiring complex weed control. Nicosulfuron blocks the acetolactate synthase enzyme, halting weed cell division, while mesotrione and triketone inhibit carotenoid biosynthesis. This leads to the characteristic bleaching (chlorosis) of tissues and the rapid death of both grass and broadleaf weeds.

Advantages of Oil Dispersion (OD)

The oil dispersion formulation is a critical technical solution for enhancing herbicide efficiency. Unlike standard aqueous concentrates, the oil-based carrier ensures:

• Denser and more uniform coverage of the leaf blade.
• Increased resistance to wash-off by rain shortly after application.
• Higher penetrative capacity through the waxy cuticle of weeds, which is essential when targeting overgrown plants.

Practical application aspects

The systemic mechanism of action allows the herbicide to move rapidly through the vascular system of the weed, damaging even the root systems of perennial species. As a selective post-emergence herbicide, it is crucial to strictly adhere to the application rate of 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha, depending on weed density. A single treatment per season is sufficient to effectively clear corn crops of annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds. The product is rated under Hazard Class 3, requiring standard safety protocols when handling agrochemicals.
