Why Mazam Plus has become a go-to for sunflower fields

When working with sunflowers, especially in fields infested with broomrape or stubborn weeds like ragweed, you realize that half-measures don't pay off. Innvigo's "Mazam Plus" is the solution that handles crop purity in a single pass. As a practitioner, what I value most is its systemic action: the combination of imazamox and imazapyr doesn't just burn the leaves; it penetrates deep into the root system, which is crucial for managing broomrape and other invasive weeds.

Practical application experience

The product comes as a water-soluble concentrate, which makes preparing the spray mix a breeze. No more dealing with suspensions that clog sprayer nozzles; it dissolves perfectly. The application rate ranges from 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha, depending on the weed density and the crop's growth stage.

• Broad Spectrum Control: It handles everything from common lambsquarters and redroot pigweed to cleavers, ragweed, barnyard grass, and sow thistle. It is particularly effective against weeds that often survive weaker herbicides.
• Tech Efficiency: As a post-emergence foliar herbicide, it is highly selective. The main crop remains safe as long as you follow the guidelines.
• Maintenance-friendly: It is easy on the equipment. Given the 1-treatment limit, it saves on both the chemical cost and the wear-and-tear on your machinery.

Important operational tips

In my experience with Innvigo products, Mazam Plus consistently delivers with just one treatment per season. The key is to hit the target window: when weeds are actively growing and the sunflower is at the 2–4 leaf pair stage. Since it’s a systemic product, don't expect instant "burn-down" within an hour; give it a few days to fully translocate within the target plants. By the end of the season, you get a clean, competition-free crop. It’s a reliable, professional tool for any farmer looking to maximize yield while minimizing field interventions.
