MESOBLAST
Mesotrione 2.27% + Atrazine 22.7% SC
MESOBLAST (Mesotrione 2.27% + Atrazine 22.7% SC) is a selective pre and post-emergence herbicide from Ratnakar India Ltd, Ahmedabad — India's trusted agrochemical manufacturer, supplier, and exporter. Mesotrione (HPPD inhibitor) and Atrazine (photosystem II inhibitor) provide dual-mode broad-spectrum weed control in maize and sugarcane. The combination controls both grass and broad-leaf weeds comprehensively while maintaining good selectivity in the crops. Manufactured and exported by Ratnakar India from Gujarat, MESOBLAST is a reliable dual-mode combination herbicide for maize and sugarcane farmers seeking effective, broad-spectrum weed management solutions with a single convenient application.
| Mode of Action | Mesotrione's mode of action prevents 4HPPD, and Atrazine (Triazine) prevents weed photosynthesis in the maize and sugarcane crops. Mesotrione inhibits HPPD enzyme. |

FAQ for MESOBLAST
What weeds does MESOBLAST control?
MESOBLAST controls both grass weeds and broad-leaf weeds in maize and sugarcane through the complementary actions of Mesotrione (HPPD inhibitor) and Atrazine (photosynthesis inhibitor).
How do Mesotrione and Atrazine complement each other?
Mesotrione inhibits HPPD disrupting carotenoid synthesis causing bleaching, while Atrazine blocks photosystem II — together providing dual-mode broad-spectrum weed control with reduced resistance risk.
When should MESOBLAST be applied in maize?
Apply MESOBLAST at 1400ml per acre as a post-emergence spray when maize weeds are small and actively growing. Do not mix with insecticides or fungicides for best herbicidal results.
Is MESOBLAST effective in sugarcane?
Yes, MESOBLAST controls grassy and broad-leaf weeds in sugarcane. The combination provides both early season weed control and extended protection through residual soil activity of both actives.
Does MESOBLAST help in resistance management?
Yes, the dual mode of action combination (HPPD inhibitor + PS II inhibitor) in MESOBLAST reduces selection pressure on any single mechanism, helping manage herbicide resistance in weed populations.
