Stefisto, CS, herbicide

Ultimate weed control for corn fields

Stefisto, SC from the German brand Stefes is a specialized tool for those who prioritize crop yield over weed presence. Based on the powerful active ingredient mesotrione, this herbicide takes control over the most troublesome broad-leaved weeds, including common lamb's quarters, amaranth species, and ragweed.

Why choose Stefisto?

Unlike many standard plant protection products, Stefisto works both systemically and selectively. Its key advantage is the ability to block carotenoid biosynthesis, leading to bleaching and rapid weed death. For an agronomist, this ensures:

• Crop Safety: The preparation integrates perfectly with corn development without causing stress when dosed correctly.
• Post-emergence Flexibility: As a post-emergence herbicide, it allows you to correct weed pressure situations after the crop has already sprouted.
• Deep Penetration: The suspension concentrate form provides excellent adhesion to leaf surfaces, which is critical for systemic action.

Application nuances

The product is applied once at a rate of 0.5 to 1.0 l/ha. It is important to note that Stefisto is a 'surgical' tool: it requires strict adherence to the application rules. With a Class 3 hazard rating, it does not require extreme safety measures, though standard PPE is mandatory.

Who is this product for? It is designed for farms focused on intensive agriculture that require reliable control of stubborn weeds without risking the main crop. If your fields are infested with annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds, Stefisto will be the exact component needed to ensure a clean crop during the critical vegetation stage.
