Features & Benefits

MesotraX is a broad spectrum herbicide that contains two active ingredients — Mesotrione and Atrazine
MesotraX is the first Indian pre-mix herbicide inspired by nature to deliver better and long duration control of grass weeds and broad leaf weeds
MesotraX has two chemistries with different modes of action — one inhibits the HPPD enzyme, while the other acts as a selective systemic herbicide by inhibiting PS-II in weeds
MesotraX should be applied at the 3–4 leaf stage of weeds for effective control
MesotraX has a long residual effect, allowing extended control of weeds

Mode of Action

MesotraX combines two complementary chemistries. The first component (Mesotrione) is absorbed by both the foliage and roots of plants and moves upward (Acropetal) and downward (Basipetal) within the plant, inhibiting the HPPD enzyme essential for weed growth. The second component (Atrazine) acts as a selective systemic herbicide by inhibiting Photosystem-II (PS-II) in weeds, disrupting photosynthesis and leading to weed death.
