Professional post-emergence control of annual and perennial grasses in maize crops.
Description
Mechanism of Action and Selectivity
The core of "Samson 040 SC" is Nicosulfuron (40 g/l), a potent sulfonylurea systemic herbicide. Once it contacts the weed's foliage, it inhibits the acetolactate synthase enzyme, effectively halting cell division and essential amino acid synthesis. The product is highly selective: maize plants possess the metabolic ability to break down the active ingredient rapidly, ensuring the crop remains unharmed while target weeds are eliminated.
Technical Advantages in the Field
- Systemic Transport: The product is rapidly translocated through both phloem and xylem, reaching meristematic tissues. This is vital for controlling deep-rooted perennial grasses like quackgrass (Elymus repens).
- Suspension Concentrate (SC): This formulation is engineered for stable mixing and optimal leaf adhesion, maximizing the amount of herbicide that enters the plant vascular system.
- Post-emergence Versatility: As a selective post-emergence herbicide, it allows for targeted applications once the weed spectrum on the field is clearly identifiable.
Operating with a 1–1.25 L/ha rate, "Samson 040 SC" is engineered to control a broad spectrum of species, including common lambsquarters, pigweed, mustard, and common ragweed. With its Class 3 toxicity rating, it balances safety with aggressive action. By blocking growth at the molecular level, it ensures your corn maintains its yield potential without competition for light, water, or nutrients.

By type of action
By type of action
Depending on their ability to move through living tissues, herbicides are divided into contact and systemic. Contact herbicides cause local damage to plant tissue upon contact, which dies or gradually degrades. This action does not always completely destroy the plant; often, its... |

By application method
By application method
Based on the method of application, herbicides are divided into foliar, soil, and root herbicides. Foliar herbicides are applied to vegetative plants and act through their above-ground organs. The main method of application for such preparations is spraying using sprayers or airp... |

By Mode of Action
By Mode of Action
Herbicides are divided into two groups according to their mode of action: Non-selective herbicides — intended for the destruction of all plant species. They are applied in agricultural fields during the absence of the main crop (after harvest, before crop emergence, on fallow lan... |

By Application Timing
By Application Timing
Herbicides are classified according to application timing into pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides. Pre-emergent herbicides are mostly soil-applied or granular formulations applied before the emergence of crop plants. They are applied either pre-sowing (during pre-sowing cu... |
