Logano 480 SC

Effective Broad-Spectrum Weed Control in Corn

For agronomists managing high-yield corn production, controlling stubborn broadleaf weeds is a critical operational step. Logano 480 SС, produced by Certis Belchim B.V., serves as a highly targeted herbicide designed to clean fields of the most resistant weed species without subjecting the crop to growth stress.

Practical Scenarios for Field Application

The primary utility of this product lies in its ability to eliminate competitive species such as common lambsquarters, redroot pigweed, ragweed, black nightshade, and jimsonweed. The active ingredient, mesotrione (a triketone), functions by inhibiting carotenoid biosynthesis. This leads to the characteristic bleaching of weed tissue, followed by rapid death. It is a preferred choice for growers who need a systemic solution to "clean" fields post-emergence.

• Selective Post-Emergence Strategy: Applied after corn has sprouted, this product allows for precise, decision-based application tailored to the actual weed pressure observed in the field.
• Systemic Efficacy: Being a systemic herbicide, it moves through the plant tissue effectively, ensuring that weeds are neutralized even if spray coverage is not perfect.
• Crop Safety: Corn exhibits excellent tolerance to this active ingredient, making it a safe choice that prevents the phytotoxicity common with less selective treatments.

Operational Guidelines

With a dosage range of 0.25–0.75 L/ha, Logano 480 SС offers flexibility depending on the weed growth stage and density. The formulation (Suspension Concentrate) ensures easy mixing within a tank blend, facilitating consistent application. It is strictly limited to one application per season, making it a key component of a managed weed control program.

Choosing this product is a strategic decision for fields with high infestation levels of nightshades or ragweed, where soil-applied herbicides may have underperformed. By removing weed competition for water and nutrients early in the season, Logano 480 SС helps protect the yield potential of the corn crop, ensuring consistent development from the early stages to harvest.
