Maxstar

Advanced Weed Control for Cereal and Row Crops

"Makstar," produced by the Chinese manufacturer Red Sun Group Corporation, Ltd., is a selective systemic herbicide designed to address one of the most persistent challenges in modern agronomy: controlling stubborn broad-leaved weeds. Its unique formulation, based on fluroxypyr, allows farmers to protect essential crops like winter wheat, barley, corn, and millet without compromising yield potential.

Why Choose Makstar?

• Systemic Efficacy: As a post-emergence herbicide, it is absorbed rapidly through the leaves, translocating throughout the weed and inhibiting growth at the meristematic tissues.
• Selective Action: It is highly effective against specific, hard-to-kill targets like field bindweed, creeping thistle, and cleavers, while remaining safe for the primary crop.
• Fast Results: Due to its emulsifiable concentrate form, the product starts working within hours of application, visible through rapid wilting of susceptible weeds.

Makstar is an optimal choice for large-scale operations where weed pressure—specifically from perennial weeds—threatens productivity. Unlike many contact-only herbicides, Makstar excels at managing overgrown cleavers, a common issue that often complicates harvesting operations. While it is classified as a Category 2 hazard, strict adherence to application guidelines ensures safety while delivering exceptional cost-efficiency with a dosage rate of 0.5 – 1.0 l/ha.

Strategic Application Benefits

Designed for leaf-based (foliar) application, a single treatment per season is sufficient to eliminate target species like common lambsquarters and black nightshade. One of its standout features is the minimal pre-harvest interval—only 1 day—which offers unmatched flexibility for farmers managing intensive cropping systems, even late in the growing season.
