Killacto Plus 50%

KILLACTO PLUS 50% SC is a modern broad-spectrum post-emergence herbicide formulated as a Suspension Concentrate (SC), combining Atrazine and Mesotrione for highly effective control of both grassy and broadleaf weeds, especially in maize and other field crops.

 

 Mode of Action:

Atrazine: A triazine herbicide that inhibits photosynthesis (Photosystem II), blocking electron transport and causing weed death.

Mesotrione: A triketone herbicide that inhibits HPPD (4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase), leading to bleaching of weeds by disrupting carotenoid biosynthesis.

Together, they provide dual systemic action with both contact and residual activity, ensuring strong and long-lasting weed control.

 

Target Weeds:

Effective against a wide range of broadleaf and grassy weeds, including:

  • Amaranthus spp. (Pigweed)
  • Chenopodium album (Bathu)
  • Trianthema portulacastrum (Itsit)
  • Echinochloa spp. (Barnyard grass)
  • Digitaria spp. (Crabgrass

 Crop Usage:

Maize (Corn) (main crop)
Also suitable in sorghum and other field crops (as per recommendation)

 

 Key Benefits:

  • Dual mode of action: Contact + systemic control
  • Post-emergence flexibility
  • Effective on tough broadleaf weeds
  • Visible bleaching effect for quick results
  • Residual control prevents new weed flush
  • Excellent resistance management tool
  • Improves crop growth and yield potential
