Systemic Weed Control for Maize Fields

Controlling weeds like couch grass and ragweed requires precise agronomic tools. «Tellus» is a selective post-emergence herbicide developed by Aquarius & Co. based on nicosulfuron. Its key strength lies in its deep systemic action: the active ingredient is rapidly absorbed by weed tissues, halting cell division within hours of application.

Why Choose Tellus?

• High Selectivity: The maize crop metabolizes nicosulfuron, ensuring the herbicide is safe to use even during active growth phases.
• Broad-Spectrum Control: Effectively suppresses both aggressive perennial grasses (like couch grass) and common broad-leaved weeds, including amaranth, mustard, and ragweed.
• Easy Application: The suspension concentrate formulation dissolves easily, ensuring uniform coverage on leaf surfaces for maximum efficacy.

Application and Efficiency

«Tellus» is an ideal solution for farms aiming to clean fields of both grassy and broad-leaved weeds in a single pass. As a selective herbicide, it does not stunt maize growth when the application regulations are followed. For best results, it should be applied at the 3–5 leaf stage of the crop, while weeds are still in their early development stages.

Strengths: Rapid penetration into the plant and reliable control of couch grass rhizomes. Constraints: Requires precise application rates (1.0–2.0 L/ha) and should not be applied when the crop is under stress or facing extreme temperature fluctuations. Being a product developed in Ukraine, it is specifically adapted to local phytosanitary conditions, making it an economically viable choice for intensive maize cultivation technologies.
