Milafuron

Effective corn protection: why choose Milafuron

In the struggle for corn yields, it is critical to prevent weeds from intercepting nutrients during early growth stages. Milafuron from Nertus is a classic, field-tested solution based on nicosulfuron. Unlike complex multi-component mixtures, this systemic herbicide offers farmers predictability and high selectivity.

Strengths and mechanism of action

Operating as a selective post-emergence product, Milafuron rapidly penetrates the weed leaf surface and blocks the synthesis of essential amino acids. The product's main advantage is its selectivity: corn possesses metabolic pathways to neutralize the substance, while susceptible weeds wither and die within 10-20 days.

Target weeds:

• Grasses: barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli), couch grass (Elymus repens).
• Broadleaf weeds: shepherd's purse, common chickweed, common purslane.

Application features and efficacy

The product comes in the form of a suspension concentrate, which simplifies the preparation of the working solution. The standard application rate ranges from 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha, depending on the level of weed infestation. As Milafuron is a post-emergence (insurance) herbicide, timing is crucial according to the crop development phases. Importantly, the product is intended for a single application per season. Thanks to its systemic action, it destroys not only the above-ground part but also the root system of stubborn weeds like couch grass.

Who is this solution for?

Milafuron by Nertus is ideal for farms focused on classic, reliable corn protection schemes without unnecessary complexity. It is the choice for those who value consistent results with controlled input costs. The product falls under hazard class 3, requiring standard safety precautions when handling agrochemicals.
