GERONIMO OD 66 is a post-emergence herbicide used against narrow and broad-leaved weeds in the 2-8 leaf and 2-6 leaf periods of corn when weed development is rapid. The active ingredient of GERONIMO OD 66 , Tembotrione , disrupts carotenoid production in the plant. Therefore, since the plant does not have the necessary amount of chlorophyll for photosynthesis, excessive sunlight causes chlorophyll oxidation in the plant. Thus, it causes the death of sensitive weed species.
If the second crop of corn is to be planted in dry conditions, the irrigation method to be used after planting should be sprinkler irrigation. A good effect is obtained with a good coating spray. Application can be made with a field sprayer or a backpack sprayer. Fan-beam nozzle should be used in applications (11002-11003) and the pressure should be three atm. Applications should be made after the morning dew has gone or in the afternoon. Postpone the application in stress conditions caused by heat and drought. GERONIMO OD 66 has very good resistance to rain, it is not affected by rain falling after two hours of application or after the leaves have dried.
Use in rotation crops: It has no negative effect on rotation crops.
