Tarveks
Tarveks is a post-emergence herbicide, a suspension concentrate with terbuthylazine, mesotrione and the safener isoxadifen-ethyl, for maize against annual and some perennial broadleaf weeds.
Main advantages
- Terbuthylazine and mesotrione — two different modes of action
- Isoxadifen-ethyl in the formulation — a safener for maize
- Maize at 3–8 leaves — timing of the single treatment
- Broadleaf weeds at 2–4 leaves — lower rate 0.4–0.6 l/ha
Overview
About this product
Tarveks is a herbicide for maize: two active substances and a safener. Terbuthylazine 300 g/L enters through the leaves and roots and inhibits photosystem II, mesotrione 200 g/L inhibits the enzyme HPPD and carotenoid synthesis, and isoxadifen-ethyl 15 g/L switches on enzymes in maize that break down the herbicide.
One treatment, at the 3–8 leaf stage of the crop: 0.4–0.6 l/ha on broadleaf weeds at 2–4 leaves, 0.75 l/ha at 6–8 leaves. Bleaching of the weeds is visible after 3–7 days.
The manufacturer requires the adjuvant Syneriks at a 1:2 ratio. 5 l canister.

| Mode of action | Terbuthylazine (triazines, HRAC group 5) is taken up by leaves and roots and inhibits electron transport in photosystem II; mesotrione (triketones, HRAC group 27) is taken up by leaves and roots and inhibits the enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), on which carotenoid synthesis depends. The safener isoxadifen-ethyl activates the detoxifying enzyme systems of maize for the herbicide actives. |
