FMC Affuron is a selective post-emergence herbicide containing Tembotrione 34.4% SC, specially developed for controlling broadleaf and grassy weeds in maize. It reduces weed competition for nutrients, sunlight, and water, helping maize crops grow healthier and stronger.
Tembotrione belongs to the HPPD inhibitor group and works by blocking carotenoid biosynthesis in weeds. This causes visible bleaching followed by complete weed death, ensuring long-lasting weed control in maize fields.
