Leagos Herbicide – Tembotrione 34.4% SC for Effective Weed Control in Maize

Leagos Crystal Herbicide is a broad-spectrum, post-emergent maize herbicide designed to manage both grassy and broadleaf weeds during early crop growth stages. Powered by Tembotrione 34.4% SC, this systemic formulation penetrates leaves and moves within the plant, ensuring reliable control of weeds like Echinochloa, Trianthema, and Brachiaria.

When used with a recommended surfactant for herbicides, Leagos enhances absorption and speeds up weed kill without harming the maize crop. Its unique chemical group interrupts chlorophyll production, causing the weed to bleach and die within days. The herbicide’s compatibility with all maize hybrids and flexible application timing makes it a dependable choice for integrated crop protection.

Leagos Crystal technical name, Tembotrione 34.4, is known for quick action and long-lasting control, helping maize plants access nutrients, sunlight, and moisture more efficiently. This results in improved crop vigor, better soil conservation due to reduced tillage, and fewer herbicide applications.
