MAIZER (Topramezone 336 g/l SC) is a selective post-emergence herbicide from Ratnakar India Ltd, Ahmedabad — India's leading agrochemical manufacturer, supplier, and exporter. Topramezone inhibits HPPD (4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase) enzyme, disrupting carotene pigment synthesis in weeds while being highly selective to maize. MAIZER controls a broad spectrum of grass and broad-leaf weeds in maize including Elusine, Digitaria, Echinochloa, Parthenium, Amaranthus, and others. Manufactured and exported by Ratnakar India from Gujarat, MAIZER is a premium precision post-emergence herbicide for progressive maize farmers seeking effective broad-spectrum weed control with high crop safety.

FAQ for MAIZER
What weeds does MAIZER control in maize?
MAIZER controls Elusine indica, Digitaria sanguinalis, Echinochloa spp., Chloris barbata, Parthenium hysterophorus, Digera arvensis, Amaranthus viridis, and many other grass and broad-leaf weeds in maize.
How does Topramezone in MAIZER work?
Topramezone inhibits HPPD enzyme, disrupting carotenoid pigment biosynthesis in treated weeds. Without carotenoids, chlorophyll is destroyed by light, causing bleaching, growth cessation, and weed death.
Is MAIZER selective for maize?
Yes, MAIZER is highly selective for maize due to rapid metabolic detoxification of Topramezone in maize plants. Apply at recommended rates and timing for maximum crop safety and weed control efficacy.
When should MAIZER be applied in maize?
Apply MAIZER post-emergence when maize is at 3–6 leaf stage and weeds are small and actively growing. Use sticker for best adhesion and absorption. Apply at 30ml per acre as directed.
Does MAIZER control Parthenium weed?
Yes, MAIZER effectively controls Parthenium hysterophorus (congress grass) — an invasive broad-leaf weed that is difficult to manage with many conventional herbicides — making it a valuable tool in maize weed management.
