DESCRIPTION
Shriram Acriter Mesotrione 2.27% + Atrazine 22.7% SC Herbicide Details :
- Shriram Acriter is a selective, broad-spectrum herbicide containing Mesotrione 2.27% + Atrazine 22.7% SC. Specially designed for maize fields, it effectively controls annual grasses and broadleaf weeds when applied as pre- or early post-emergence. With long residual activity and crop selectivity, Acriter helps farmers maintain weed-free fields, reduce competition for nutrients and water, and achieve higher maize yields with ease of application and consistent performance.
- Technical Content : Mesotrione 2.27% + Atrazine 22.7% SC
- Mode of Action : Acriter combines the HPPD inhibition of Mesotrione and the photosynthesis inhibition of Atrazine, delivering effective weed control by disrupting carotenoid biosynthesis and electron transport in weeds.

- Broad-spectrum control of grasses and broadleaf weeds
- Effective as pre- or early post-emergence herbicide
- Long residual activity keeps fields weed-free for longer
- Safe on maize when applied as per recommendation
- Reduces manual weeding and improves crop growth
- Crop : Maize (Corn)
- Target Weeds : Annual grasses, Broadleaf weeds and Sedges
- Dosage : 140 ml / 15 liter of pump
FAQs for Shriram Acriter (Mesotrione 2.27% + Atrazine 22.7% SC) Herbicide
1. Why combine Mesotrione with Atrazine? What’s the advantage?
Ans.
- Mesotrione inhibits the HPPD enzyme, disrupting pigment synthesis and causing weed leaf bleaching.
- Atrazine inhibits photosystem II in both grass and broadleaf weeds.
- Together, this dual mode of action offers faster knockdown, broader-spectrum control, and extended residual activity, compared to individual herbicides.
2. Which crops is Acriter recommended for?
Ans. Designed specifically for maize, sugarcane, and similar crops, this premix offers superior control over both grassy and broadleaf weeds without causing harm to these robust crops.
3. When should I apply Acriter to maximize its efficacy?
Ans. Apply as a post-emergence spray when weeds are actively growing and reach the 2–4 leaf stage—usually 15–25 days after sowing. Coverage during early weed stages improves effectiveness.

4. What dosage and spray volume is ideal?
Ans. Use approximately 1,400 mL per acre in 200–300 L of water, ensuring even coverage using a flat-fan nozzle or flood-jet sprayer.
5. How soon will I see results after spraying?
Ans. Look for leaf bleaching and stunting within 3–7 days, with total weed death typically within 10–14 days, depending on weed species and weather conditions.
6. Does Acriter help delay herbicide resistance?
Ans. Yes—the combination of two distinct modes of action (HPPD inhibition and PS‑II inhibition) reduces the risk of resistance buildup and ensures more enduring weed control.
7. Can I tank-mix Acriter with other herbicides or spray products?
Ans. Yes, tank mixing with compatible herbicides (especially grass herbicides) is permitted. Always perform a jar compatibility test first, and follow label instructions on sequence and rates.
