Lumax 537,5 SE

Synergy of three: The Lumax 537.5 SE approach

Lumax 537.5 SE by Syngenta is designed for high-intensity crop protection. It moves beyond simple herbicides by combining three active ingredients — Terbuthylazine, Mesotrione, and S-metolachlor — into one highly effective, systemic solution. This formulation is specifically tailored for maize growers who face diverse weed pressures and need a reliable, "one-pass" strategy.

Why it stands out

• Versatility: Lumax works as both a pre-emergence (soil-applied) and early post-emergence (leaf-applied) herbicide. This flexibility is a game-changer when weather conditions make standard spraying windows unpredictable.
• Broad spectrum: It is highly effective against challenging weeds like field thistle (Cirsium arvense), white goosefoot, and green foxtail. By targeting both annual grasses and broad-leaved weeds, it secures the crop's early growth period from competition for nutrients and moisture.
• Residual Control: The soil-active components create a protective barrier, preventing secondary germination of weeds, which often proves to be the differentiator in high-yield farming.

Efficiency and Application

With a dosage requirement of over 3.0 L/ha, Lumax is engineered for precision farming. Since it is a selective, systemic herbicide, it leaves the corn crop unharmed while aggressively addressing the weed canopy. It is classified under hazard class 3, requiring standard protective measures during handling. For professional farmers, the key benefit is simplicity and efficiency: one application ensures a clean field throughout the most vulnerable stage of the crop. While some simpler herbicides require tank mixes or repeated applications, Lumax 537.5 SE provides a robust, balanced chemistry in a single, convenient suspension emulsion form.
