Mikodin

Professional weed control in cereal crops

Mycodin is a systemic, selective herbicide designed for farmers who need reliable control over persistent broad-leaved weeds. By utilizing a proven mix of Dicamba and 2,4-D, the formulation ensures complete suppression of stubborn species like Cirsium arvense (Canada thistle) and Chenopodium album (fat-hen) in wheat, barley, and corn fields.

Application and technical details

Manufactured by Sunrise Chemicals Co. Ltd. (Shanghai, China), this product is formulated as a water-soluble concentrate, making it easy to mix and apply. Its selective mode of action allows it to target weeds effectively while leaving the cereal crops unaffected. It acts as a foliar herbicide, requiring post-emergence application.

• Usage timing: For cereals, apply during the tillering stage up to the boot stage. For corn, the optimal window is the 3–5 leaf stage.
• Application rate: 0.5–1.0 L/ha, providing a cost-effective solution for various levels of field infestation.
• Systemic action: The herbicide travels through the plant tissues to the root system, preventing regrowth of perennial weeds.

Practical field benefits

Mycodin is highly valued for its ability to clear weeds that compete for essential nutrients and moisture. With a waiting period of only 1 day before harvest, it offers great flexibility in farm management. Operators should handle the product according to 3rd-class hazard guidelines and ensure application occurs within the ideal temperature range of +10°C to +25°C for maximum uptake. Its combination of benzoic acid derivatives and phenoxyacetic acid derivatives makes it a robust component of any modern herbicide program.
