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.

weeds, including:
