- Post-emergence, HPPD-inhibiting mode of action
Tembotrione belongs to the triketone chemical group and inhibits the enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), which is required for carotenoid biosynthesis in plants. Blocking this enzyme leads to bleaching of new growth and eventual death of susceptible weed tissue, as carotenoids can no longer protect chlorophyll from photo-oxidative damage. Tembotrione is classified under HRAC/WSSA Group 27 (HPPD inhibitors).
Tivoxy (Tembotrione 34.4% SC) is diluted in the recommended volume of water and applied as a post-emergence foliar spray in maize, using standard knapsack or boom sprayers, following the approved product label.
