Snow Burner – Selective Maize Herbicide (Active Ingredients)

The Snow Burner Brand is a selective herbicide used in maize fields to control grasses and broadleaf weeds without damaging the crop when correctly applied.

Active Ingredients

• Atrazine (≈ 200 g/L)
• Mesotrione (≈ 70 g/L)
• Nicosulfuron (≈ 30 g/L)

How Each Active Ingredient Works

1. Atrazine

• Inhibits photosynthesis in weeds
• Mainly absorbed through roots and leaves
• Causes gradual weed death by energy starvation

2. Mesotrione

• Blocks HPPD enzyme (carotenoid synthesis)
• Causes leaf bleaching and whitening
• Effective on broadleaf weeds

3. Nicosulfuron

• Inhibits acetolactate synthase (ALS enzyme)
• Stops cell division and weed growth
• Strong control of grassy weeds

 Selectivity (Why maize is safe)

• Maize metabolizes these chemicals faster than weeds
• Only effective when applied at correct stage and dosage
• Designed for post-emergence selective control

 Weed Spectrum Controlled

• Annual grasses (e.g., couch grass, crabgrass)
• Broadleaf weeds (e.g., pigweed, black nightshade)
• Mixed weed infestations in maize fields

⚠️ Key Note

Snow Burner is a selective systemic herbicide, meaning:

• It targets weeds internally
• It protects maize when used correctly
• Overdose or wrong timing can damage the crop
