Saturn, MD

Advanced weed control for maize: The Saturn, MD advantage

When it comes to protecting corn fields, the formulation is as important as the active ingredient. Saturn, MD, manufactured by Frandesa (Republic of Belarus), utilizes oil dispersion (OD) technology. Unlike standard water-based herbicides, this oil-based formulation ensures superior adherence to the waxy leaf surfaces of weeds, providing excellent resistance to rain-wash and enabling faster, more reliable absorption of the active ingredient, nicosulfuron.

Key features and performance

As a selective systemic herbicide, Saturn, MD is specifically designed for post-emergence application. Its ability to penetrate deep into the plant's vascular system allows it to effectively stop cell division in competitive weeds. It is highly effective against both grasses and problematic broad-leaved species:

• Broad-spectrum efficacy: Controls tough weeds such as couch grass, green foxtail, ragweed, and pigweed.
• Crop safety: Highly selective, ensuring minimal stress to maize when applied within the 3–10 leaf stage.
• Cost-effective application: The usage rate of 0.6–1 L/ha provides an optimal balance between effectiveness and resource efficiency.

Who is this product for?

Saturn, MD is an ideal choice for farmers who prioritize efficiency and reliability in their weed management programs. Since it is applied just once per season, it is perfect for operations that need a dependable solution to clear fields in a single, well-timed pass. If you are looking for a herbicide that combines the proven power of nicosulfuron with the advanced sticking properties of oil dispersion, Saturn, MD offers the performance needed to ensure high yields and clean crops.

Note: As a Class 3 hazard substance, standard protective measures and strict adherence to the application timing are required for optimal performance.
