Torry is a post-emergence herbicide manufactured by Insecticides (India) Ltd. It's designed to control a wide range of broadleaf and grassy weeds in maize (corn).

Active Ingredient:

• Tembotrione 34.4% SC (Suspension Concentrate): This herbicide belongs to the triketone chemical class. It works by inhibiting 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of carotenoids. Carotenoids are essential pigments that protect plants from photodamage. By inhibiting HPPD, Tembotrione disrupts the synthesis of these pigments, leading to bleaching and ultimately the death of susceptible weeds.

Features and Benefits:

• Broad-spectrum Weed Control: Controls a wide range of annual broadleaf and grassy weeds in maize.

• Post-emergence Activity: Applied after weeds have emerged and are actively growing.

• Systemic Action: Absorbed by the leaves and translocated throughout the weed, ensuring effective control.

• Rainfastness: Becomes rainfast relatively quickly, reducing the risk of wash-off by rain.

• Safe for Maize: Selective herbicide that is safe for use on maize at the recommended dosage.

Target Crops:

• Maize (Corn)

Target Weeds:

Torry effectively controls various weeds in maize, including:

• Broadleaf Weeds: Pigweed (Amaranthus spp.), Lambsquarters (Chenopodium album), Morningglory (Ipomoea spp.)

• Grassy Weeds: Crabgrass (Digitaria spp.), Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli), Fall Panicum (Panicum dichotomiflorum)

Application:

• Dosage: 115 ml per acre (Always refer to the product label for specific recommendations.)

• Timing: Apply within 12-15 days after sowing maize, when weeds are at the 2-4 leaf stage.

• Method: Apply as a foliar spray, ensuring thorough coverage of the weeds. Use a flood jet or flat fan nozzle for optimal application.

Safety Precautions:

• Wear appropriate protective clothing, gloves, and a mask when handling the product.
