IFFCO Yutori Herbicide (Tembotrione 34.4% SC)
The Ultimate "Bleacher" Solution for Weed-Free Maize Farming
IFFCO Yutori is a revolutionary post-emergence herbicide designed specifically for Maize (Corn). Powered by Japanese technology, it targets tough grassy and broad-leaved weeds that steal nutrients from your crop.
Why it stands out: Yutori uses "bleaching technology" to turn weeds white and stop their growth within days, ensuring your corn crop gets 100% of the sunlight and fertilizer it needs.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
⏱️
Fast Visible Results: Starts working immediately. You will see weeds turning white (bleaching) within 3 to 5 days of application.
-
🛡️
100% Crop Safety: Contains a special "Safener" (Isoxadifen-ethyl) that protects your maize plant while selectively killing the weeds.
-
⏳
Rainfast in 1 Hour: Rapidly absorbed by leaves. Even if it rains just 60 minutes after spraying, the medicine will not wash off.
-
🌧️
Broad Spectrum Control: Effectively kills stubborn weeds like Barnyard grass (Echinochloa) and Horse purslane (Trianthema) that escape other chemicals.
-
🌿
Yield Booster: By removing competition during the critical 15-25 day window, it helps increase final grain yield significantly.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Yutori works by disrupting the weed's internal protection system.
- Absorption: The herbicide is sprayed on the leaves. The included surfactant ensures it sticks to and penetrates waxy weed leaves.
- Inhibition: It blocks the HPPD enzyme, which stops the weed from producing "sunscreen" pigments (Carotenoids).
- Bleaching & Death: Without protection, sunlight destroys the chlorophyll. The weed turns pure white (bleaches), stops growing, and dies within 14-21 days.
Note: The maize plant is not affected because the Safener helps it break down the chemical instantly.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Maize (Corn) | Echinochloa spp (Barnyard Grass), Brachiaria spp (Signal Grass) |
| Maize (Corn) | Trianthema portulacastrum (Horse Purslane/Santhi), Digera arvensis |
| Maize (Corn) | Amaranthus viridis (Pigweed), Cyperus rotundus (Suppression of Sedges) |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maize | 115 ml Yutori + 400 ml Surfactant | 200 Liters | ~0.6 ml Yutori + 2 ml Surfactant | 90 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply when weeds are young (2 to 4 leaf stage), typically 15 to 25 days after sowing. Do not spray if weeds are too large (more than 5 leaves).
- Mixing: Use the "Bucket Method." Dissolve the 115 ml Yutori in water first. Add the 400 ml surfactant LAST to the tank to prevent excessive foaming.
- Coverage: Use 200 Liters of water per acre. Use a Flat Fan or Flood Jet nozzle for uniform coverage on weed leaves.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why are there two bottles in the pack?
The small bottle (115ml) is the herbicide. The large bottle (400ml) is a mandatory surfactant (sticker/spreader) that dissolves the waxy coating on weed leaves so the herbicide can enter.
2. Is it safe for the next crop?
Yes. Yutori leaves no harmful residues for the next season. You can safely plant Wheat, Mustard, or Chickpeas after harvesting the Maize.
3. Can I mix it with Atrazine?
Yes. For very heavy weed pressure, Yutori is compatible with Atrazine 50% WP. This combination provides excellent control over complex weed flora.
4. What if it rains after spraying?
Yutori is rainfast within 1 hour. If it rains 60 minutes after you finish spraying, you do not need to spray again.
5. Does it control Purple Nutsedge (Motha)?
It provides suppression of sedges like Cyperus rotundus, reducing their growth significantly, but it is primarily a grass and broadleaf killer.
