AstaMil 40 SC

Professional Weed Control in Corn Production

Weed pressure in corn fields requires precision and reliability. "Astamil 40 SC," manufactured by Yangzhou Pioneer Chemical Co. Ltd. and introduced to the market by Astarta-Kyiv, serves as a high-performance systemic herbicide designed to manage competitive weed populations, specifically targeting annual and perennial grasses as well as broadleaf weeds.

Mechanism and Efficacy

The core of this formulation is Nicosulfuron, a member of the sulfonylurea chemical group. Its systemic mode of action is highly valued in modern agriculture: the active ingredient is absorbed through the foliage and translocated within the weed's vascular system. By inhibiting the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme, it effectively halts the division of plant cells, leading to chlorosis and subsequent death of the weed species within 7 to 21 days.

Field Application Standards

Designed for post-emergence application, this herbicide offers the selectivity required to ensure that corn development remains unhindered while weeds are eliminated. Its suspension concentrate formulation is optimized for ease of mixing and uniform application coverage.

• Application Type: Post-emergence, foliar herbicide.
• Dosage: 1–1.25 liters per hectare.
• Treatment Frequency: Single application per season.
• Safety Class: 3, ensuring standard handling protocols are sufficient.

By implementing "Astamil 40 SC" during the critical growth window, farmers can secure the potential of their crop by removing nutrient and moisture competition. The synergy between the manufacturing expertise of Yangzhou Pioneer Chemical and the rigorous quality control standards held by Astarta-Kyiv makes this product a stable and dependable choice for maize growers focusing on yield maximization.
