One Group 2 grass herbicide, one Group 4 broadleaf herbicide, and one Group 27 broadleaf-strengthening herbicide in a maize post-emergence WG format.

Main Functions

This formulation is mainly used to:

• Control annual grass weeds in maize
• Strengthen control of broadleaf weeds
• Support one-pass post-emergence cleanup in mixed infestations
• Reduce early weed competition after crop emergence
• Fit maize herbicide programs that need broader weed-spectrum coverage

Its strongest practical value is in fields where foxtails, barnyardgrass, or other annual grasses are present together with pigweed, lambsquarters, ragweed, velvetleaf, and other broadleaf weeds in the same spray window.

How the Formula Works

Nicosulfuron is the grass-control anchor of the formulation. It is a sulfonylurea herbicide used in maize for post-emergence control of annual grasses and certain additional weeds. Its strongest value in this mixture is the grass side of the weed spectrum.

Dicamba drives the broadleaf-control side of the formula. It is readily absorbed and moves through the plant, where it disrupts auxin balance and controls many annual broadleaf weeds commonly found in corn.

Mesotrione expands the broadleaf result further and adds an important post-emergence plus residual-support dimension. In maize, mesotrione is widely used for annual broadleaf control and can also contribute on some grass weeds depending on the program.

Taken together, the formula works as one grass-control anchor plus two broadleaf-strengthening components in a single maize herbicide. That is the clearest and most useful way to present the product.

Target Weeds

Grass Weeds

• Foxtails
• Barnyardgrass
• Wild oats
• Other annual grasses in maize

Broadleaf Weeds

• Pigweed
• Lambsquarters
• Ragweed
• Velvetleaf
• Other broadleaf weeds in maize

It should not be treated as a pure grass herbicide, and it should not be presented as a vague all-weed product. Its real value is strongest where annual grasses are the main problem and broadleaf weeds need to be cleaned up at the same time.

Suitable Crops and Application Areas

The strongest crop fit for this formulation is maize / corn. That is the clearest crop-use direction for the active-ingredient structure and for published trial work on similar dicamba + mesotrione + nicosulfuron combinations.

This herbicide is best placed in maize programs where the field is already showing mixed weed pressure after emergence and the objective is to restore crop competitiveness with one structured post-emergence treatment. Final crop scope should follow the approved local label in the destination market.

Application Guidance

Nicosulfuron 100 g/kg + Dicamba 312.5 g/kg + Mesotrione 150 g/kg WG should be used according to the approved local label. It is most suitable when target weeds are young and actively growing, because that is when maize post-emergence herbicides usually deliver the most stable field response.

In general, this formulation is suitable when:

• the crop is maize
• the main field problem includes annual grasses
• broadleaf weeds are also present in the same field
• the program needs a post-emergence WG herbicide for mixed infestations

Final timing, rate, spray volume, and any partner-herbicide guidance should follow the approved local label.

Formulation Features

WG means water-dispersible granule. This is a dry granule herbicide format that disperses in water before spraying. In practical maize use, that means straightforward measuring, standard spray preparation, and a dry formulation route that fits routine post-emergence field work.

The value of the WG format is not just that it is a granule. It is that the product fits normal maize spray programs with a practical dry formulation route while keeping the focus on mixed grass and broadleaf control after emergence.

Product Advantages

This formulation stands out for these reasons:

• Post-emergence maize herbicide positioning
• Strong annual-grass control anchor
• Expanded and strengthened broadleaf weed control
• Group 2 + Group 4 + Group 27 structure
• WG dry granule formulation
• Suitable for mixed infestations in maize

It gives maize fields a more complete post-emergence answer when grass weeds and broadleaf weeds are present together, instead of forcing the grower to rely on a one-sided herbicide program.

Safety and Use Precautions

This herbicide should be handled carefully during mixing, spraying, storage, and transport. Because the formulation combines Group 2, Group 4, and Group 27 herbicide chemistry, resistance management and spray discipline matter in long-term maize programs.

Important points include:

• follow the approved local label
• apply to small, actively growing weeds
• avoid repeated exclusive reliance on the same herbicide groups
• wear proper protective clothing, gloves, and face protection
• avoid drift onto sensitive non-target crops and nearby vegetation

These precautions are especially important in maize systems where weed resistance and off-target sensitivity can become serious management issues over time.

Storage and Transport

Store this product in the original sealed package in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Protect it from rain, heat, direct sunlight, package damage, and rough handling before use. As a WG formulation, keeping the granules dry is important for stable storage and consistent spray preparation.

FAQ

What kind of herbicide is this product?

It is a post-emergence maize herbicide built for mixed infestations of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds.

Is it mainly for grass weeds or broadleaf weeds?

Its strongest structure is grass-led with broadleaf expansion. Nicosulfuron anchors the grass side, while dicamba and mesotrione strengthen the broadleaf result.

Which weeds are the strongest fit for this formulation?

The clearest grass directions are foxtails, barnyardgrass, and other annual grasses in maize. The clearest broadleaf directions include pigweed, lambsquarters, ragweed, and velvetleaf.

What does WG mean in the product name?

WG means water-dispersible granule.

Which crop is the strongest fit for this product?

The strongest crop fit is maize / corn.
