Caméo 75, w.g., (Tribenuron-methyl, 750 g/kg)

Precision Weed Control with Systemic Action

Cameo 75 WG utilizes tribenuron-methyl at a concentration of 750 g/kg, a high-potency active ingredient designed for rigorous weed management. As a sulfonylurea herbicide, it inhibits the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme, which is essential for plant cell division. Upon application, the product is rapidly absorbed by the leaves and translocated throughout the vascular system, effectively shutting down the growth of target species like thistle, wild mustard, and shepherd's purse.

Selective Performance for Cereal Crops

The primary technical advantage of Cameo 75 WG is its high selectivity. Cereal crops, including wheat, barley, rye, and oats, possess the enzymatic ability to metabolize tribenuron-methyl rapidly into inactive, non-toxic components. This ensures the crop remains unaffected while the competitive weed population suffers from metabolic failure. This precision allows for effective post-emergence application during the active growing season.

Operational Advantages

• Formulation Integrity: The water-dispersible granule (WG) format ensures rapid dissolution in the spray tank, preventing clumping and nozzle blockage for a consistent application.
• Systemic Mobility: Due to its systemic nature, the product reaches the root systems of weeds, making it highly effective even against perennial species like field thistle.
• Low Application Rates: With usage rates ranging from 15 to 50 g/ha, the product offers a high-concentration, low-volume solution, reducing logistical burden and minimizing the environmental footprint on the soil.

Manufactured by DuPont de Nemours (France) S.A.S. and DuPont Crop Protection El Paso Plant, this herbicide is engineered to meet the stringent demands of modern agriculture. It provides a reliable, single-application solution for maintaining clean fields and protecting the yield potential of small grain cereals.
