Corn is a grassy plant, the only cultivated species of the genus Zea in the family Gramineae. It has significant importance in agriculture and is widely used as a cereal crop, as well as for producing silage and green feed. Corn is the basis of many food products and feeds, and plays a key role in agricultural systems of many countries.
The herbicide "Rim + Macho" is designed for effective control of annual and perennial grassy and broad-leaved weeds in corn, potato, and tomato crops. The active ingredients of the product — rimsulfuron (250 g/kg) and ethoxylatedisodecyl alcohol (900 g/l) — provide systemic action by blocking the acetolactate synthase enzyme, essential for the synthesis of indispensable amino acids in weeds. This leads to the cessation of weed growth and development, which becomes visible 3-10 days after application, with complete death occurring 15 days or more, depending on climatic conditions.
The product features high efficacy, broad spectrum of activity across various stages of corn development (from 1 to 7 leaves), and rainfastness within 3 hours after application. Rimsulfuron rapidly degrades in soil (within 10-14 days), eliminating restrictions on crop rotation. Additionally, the product is safe for humans and pets due to its specific mode of action and low toxicity. Using "Rim + Macho" reduces application rates and replaces pre-emergent and pre-sowing treatments, providing reliable crop protection and high economic efficiency.
