Callisto 480 SC

Total Weed Control in Corn: The Kaliсто 480 SC Advantage

For corn producers, effective control of broadleaf weeds is the difference between an average harvest and a high-yield season. Kaliсто 480 SC, manufactured by Syngenta Agro S.A.S., stands out as a powerful systemic solution designed to safeguard your crop while ensuring maximum selectivity.

Targeting Tough Weeds with Mesotrione

The strength of Kaliсто 480 SC lies in its active ingredient, mesotrione (triketone class). Unlike traditional herbicides, it disrupts weed photosynthesis, leading to rapid bleaching and eventual mortality. It is highly effective against challenging weeds that often resist standard treatments:

• Common Ragweed and Redroot Pigweed;
• Black Nightshade and Jimsonweed;
• Velvetleaf and Shepherd's Purse.

What sets this product apart is its dual-action absorption: it is taken up through both leaves and roots. This provides a crucial residual soil effect, helping to suppress secondary flushes of weeds that often emerge after rainfall.

Application Flexibility

As a selective post-emergence herbicide, Kaliсто 480 SC offers a broad application window, ranging from 3 to 8 leaves of corn. This flexibility is vital for farm managers dealing with unpredictable spring weather. With an application rate of 0.25–0.75 l/ha, the product remains gentle on the corn crop, providing elite performance without the risk of phytotoxicity even under stressful conditions.

Why choose Kaliсто 480 SC?

This herbicide is ideal for modern, intensive farming operations that require a reliable, "one-pass" solution to weed control. By combining deep systemic action with soil protection, Kaliсто 480 SC ensures that your corn fields remain free of competition throughout the critical growth stages, leading to a cleaner harvest and higher yields.
