Sumaro

Efficient Weed Control in Corn Fields

When broadleaf weeds threaten your corn yields, you need a precise and powerful solution. Sumaro by Defenda is a selective systemic herbicide designed to eliminate weed competition in a single pass without compromising crop health.

Key Benefits for Modern Farming

The formulation, based on mesotrione and triketones, acts directly on the target weeds by blocking photosynthesis. This ensures rapid growth cessation shortly after application.

• Application Flexibility: As a post-emergence herbicide, Sumaro is applied directly to the leaves. The ideal window is the 3–5 leaf stage of corn, targeting weeds during their active growth phase.
• High Selectivity: It effectively clears the field of unwanted vegetation, ensuring your corn has full access to nutrients, water, and sunlight.
• Efficiency: With an application rate of 0.5 – 1.0 L/ha, Sumaro is a cost-effective choice for intensive farming operations.

Practical Use Cases

Agronomists reach for Sumaro when post-emergence cleanup is critical, especially when weeds have surpassed the seedling stage. Due to its systemic nature, it provides long-lasting control. A single treatment per season is sufficient to keep the fields clean. As a class 3 hazard product, standard safety protocols should be followed during handling and application.
