The Ultimate Post-Emergence Solution for Weed-Free Maize Farming
Struggling with tough weeds in your Corn fields? Yutori is a broad-spectrum, post-emergence herbicide designed specifically for Indian Maize farmers. Powered by Japanese technology (Tembotrione), it effectively controls resistant grasses and broadleaf weeds that steal nutrition from your crop.
Yutori doesn't just kill weeds; it protects your yield. Its unique formulation includes a "Safener" that ensures your Maize plants stay healthy while the weeds turn white and die.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Yutori works by inhibiting the HPPD enzyme, which is vital for the plant's protection against sunlight. This creates a "Bleaching" effect visible on the weeds.
- Absorption: The herbicide is absorbed through the leaves of the weed (foliar uptake) and moves upwards.
- Bleaching: It stops the weed from producing carotenoids (protective pigments). Without protection, sunlight destroys the chlorophyll.
- Elimination: The weed turns white, stops growing, and dies completely within a few days, leaving your Maize crop safe.
Note: The "Safener" in Yutori allows the Maize plant to break down the chemical rapidly, so it remains green and healthy.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Maize (Corn) | Barnyard Grass (Echinochloa spp.) |

| Maize (Corn) | Other Grasses: Signal Grass, Crowfoot Grass & Amaranthus spp. |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Do not cut corners on water volume.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maize | 115 ml | 200 Litres | 0.6 ml | -- |
*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 and actively growing (3 to 5 leaf stage). Avoid applying on fully matured weeds.
- Mixing: A Surfactant (Sticker) is MANDATORY. Yutori needs help to stick to the waxy leaves of grass weeds.
- Coverage: Use 200 Litres of water per acre. Good coverage is essential because the chemical does not move down to the roots; it needs to hit the leaves.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Pregnant women should strictly avoid handling this product.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. When is the best time to spray Yutori?
The ideal time is when weeds are at the 2 to 4 leaf stage (typically 15-25 days after sowing).
2. Can I mix Yutori with Atrazine?
Yes, tank-mixing with Atrazine (500g/ha) can improve the speed of action and control hard-to-kill weeds, creating a "double-hit" effect.
3. Is Yutori safe for all Maize varieties?
Yes, thanks to the included safener, it is generally safe for commercial maize hybrids.
4. What if it rains after spraying?
Yutori becomes rainfast in 1 hour. If it rains after 60 minutes of spraying, re-application is not needed.
5. Why must I use 200 Litres of water?
Yutori relies on contact with leaves. Low water volume leads to poor coverage and weeds escaping the spray.
