Milano, CS, herbicide

Advanced weed control for corn with Milano SC

The core formulation of the 'Milano' herbicide from the Rangoli brand is based on nicosulfuron, delivering robust systemic activity. As a selective post-emergence herbicide, it is primarily absorbed through the leaf surface, making it an essential tool during the critical phase of weed growth.

Mechanism of Action and Selectivity

The active ingredient penetrates plant tissues and translocates rapidly to the meristematic points, where it inhibits the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme. This disruption halts the synthesis of essential amino acids, immediately stopping cell division. The herbicide is safe for corn due to the crop’s inherent metabolic ability to degrade nicosulfuron rapidly, allowing for selective weed management.

Target Weed Spectrum

Milano demonstrates high efficacy against a diverse range of problematic grass and broadleaf weeds:

• Perennial grasses: Couch grass (Elymus repens).
• Annual grasses: Barnyard grass, Yellow foxtail.
• Broadleaf weeds: Redroot pigweed, Field mustard, Wild radish, Shepherd's purse, Common chickweed.

Technical Application Guidelines

The product is formulated as a suspension concentrate, which ensures easy preparation of a stable spray solution. The application rate ranges from 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha, depending on the infestation intensity and species composition. A key advantage of this herbicide is its high efficiency, requiring only one application per season. Classified as a Hazard Class 3 product, standard safety precautions for pesticide handling are required during application.
