Trivium, VG, Herbicide + PAR Booster

Triple-Action Synergy for Maize Protection

The «Trivium» herbicide by «Alfa Smart Agro» is a high-precision systemic product engineered for reliable weed control in maize crops. By integrating three potent active ingredients—Rimsulfuron, Thifensulfuron-methyl, and Florasulam—the product offers a comprehensive solution against both annual and perennial dicot weeds that are often resilient to standard chemical treatments.

Technical Mechanism and Composition

The technical edge of this herbicide lies in its ability to inhibit the acetolactate synthase enzyme, which is vital for weed cell division. The combination allows for a broader spectrum of action:

• Rimsulfuron & Thifensulfuron-methyl: These sulfonylureas provide rapid systemic control by inhibiting amino acid synthesis.
• Florasulam: This component adds a complementary mechanism, enabling the control of overgrown weeds that are typically resistant to other treatments.
• Formulation: As water-dispersible granules, the herbicide provides excellent solubility and maintains the physical stability of the tank mix, preventing nozzle clogging.

The systemic nature of Trivium ensures that the active agents move throughout the plant, reaching both the root system and the apical meristems, thereby preventing any potential regrowth.

The Role of the «Booster» Surfactant

The inclusion of the «Booster» surfactant is a critical technical component of this system. It acts as an adjuvant that significantly lowers the surface tension of the spray droplets. This allows for superior leaf coverage and deeper penetration through the waxy cuticle of the leaves, which is particularly vital under low-moisture conditions or high temperatures, where herbicide efficacy usually drops.

Application and Selective Action

Trivium is a selective systemic herbicide. While it is lethal to specific weed species, the maize crop possesses the metabolic ability to neutralize these substances safely. It is applied post-emergence between the 1st and 7th leaf stage of the maize. With a Hazard Class 3 rating, it is designed for balanced usage, delivering effective suppression of broad-leaved weeds within 7–20 days after application, requiring only one pass to secure the field.
