Dhanuka Implode Topramezone Herbicide for Maize

Dhanuka Implode is a selective, systemic post-emergence herbicide containing Topramezone 336 g/L (w/v) SC. It is developed for controlling major grassy and broadleaf weeds in maize. Its HPPD-inhibiting action disrupts pigment formation in susceptible weeds, causing bleaching and gradual weed death.

Product Details

Key Benefits

• Broad-Spectrum Weed Control: Helps control major grassy and broadleaf weeds in maize.
• Selective Herbicide: Formulated for maize at the recommended application rate and growth stage.
• Systemic Activity: Moves within susceptible weeds to disrupt essential growth processes.
• Post-Emergence Application: Controls weeds after they have emerged.
• Long-Duration Control: Provides extended weed management under suitable field conditions.
• HPPD Mode of Action: Offers an additional herbicide mechanism for integrated weed management.

How Dhanuka Implode Works

Topramezone belongs to the pyrazolone group of herbicides. It inhibits the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) enzyme, disrupting carotenoid biosynthesis in susceptible weeds.

Without sufficient protective pigments, weed tissues develop whitening or bleaching symptoms, followed by tissue damage and eventual death. Results depend on weed species, growth stage and application conditions.

Target Weeds in Maize

According to Dhanuka, Implode targets several important grassy and broadleaf weeds, including:

• Grassy Weeds: Eleusine indica, Digitaria sanguinalis, Dactyloctenium aegyptium, Echinochloa species and Chloris barbata.
• Broadleaf Weeds: Parthenium hysterophorus, Digera arvensis, Amaranthus viridis, Physalis minima, Alternanthera sessilis, Convolvulus arvensis and Celosia argentea.

Dosage and Application

Apply as a uniform post-emergence foliar spray to actively growing weeds. Use the adjuvant recommended on the product label. Confirm the appropriate maize and weed growth stages, spray timing and adjuvant type before application.
