Torry Super Herbicide (Tembotrione 9% + Atrazine 45% WG)
The "Maharatna" Solution for Complete Weed Control in Maize
Stop weeds from stealing your yield during the critical first 45 days. Torry Super is a premium, broad-spectrum post-emergence herbicide designed specifically for Indian Maize farmers. By combining two powerful chemistries, it clears your field of grasses and broadleaf weeds in one shot.
Powered by SPF Technology: Unlike older powders, Torry Super uses proprietary Suspension Polymerization Formulation. This ensures the medicine releases slowly, killing weeds without shocking your maize crop.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Torry Super uses a synergistic "Dual-Action" approach to break weed resistance:
- The Bleacher (Tembotrione): It stops the weed from producing its natural "sunscreen" (carotenoids). Without this, sunlight destroys the weed's chlorophyll, turning it white.
- The Blocker (Atrazine): It blocks the photosynthesis energy flow within the plant, accelerating cell death.
- Total Control: This combination overwhelms the weed's defense system, killing even tough weeds that single-chemical sprays might miss.
Result: Weeds die completely, while the Maize plant naturally breaks down the chemical, staying healthy.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|

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 (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maize | 500g - 600g | 150 - 200 Litres | 3g - 4g | ~90 Days |
*Use higher dose (600g) for heavy weed infestation. Always use the Surfactant provided with the pack.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply when weeds are young (2 to 4 leaf stage). Do not apply on very large weeds (>6 inches).
- Mixing: The surfactant (Activator) is mandatory. Mix it at 2ml per 1 Litre of water.
- Coverage: Use Flat Fan or Flood Jet nozzles. Ensure there is adequate soil moisture at the time of spraying.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is this different from Tembotrione (Laudis)?
Torry Super is a premix that includes Atrazine. This provides "residual activity," meaning it keeps killing weed seeds in the soil for 15 days longer than plain Tembotrione.
2. Is it safe for the next crop?
Yes. When used at recommended doses, you can safely plant Wheat, Mustard, or Chickpeas in the following season.
3. Can I mix insecticides with Torry Super?
Avoid mixing organophosphate insecticides (like Chlorpyrifos) or applying them 7 days before/after, as this can cause crop burn.
4. Does it work on "Santhi" (Horse Purslane)?
Yes, the combination of Tembotrione and Atrazine is highly effective against hard-to-kill broadleaf weeds like Santhi and Trianthema.
5. What is SPF Technology?
Suspension Polymerization Formulation (SPF) is a technology that encapsulates the chemical, improving its safety on the maize crop and making it last longer in the field.
