Laudis Herbicide – Tembotrione 34.4% SC
Advanced Post-Emergence Weed Control for Maize
Laudis Herbicide is a modern post-emergence herbicide powered by Tembotrione 34.4% SC, designed to deliver powerful control of both broadleaf and grassy weeds in maize crops. It works through advanced HPPD inhibitor technology, which disrupts pigment formation in weeds, causing visible bleaching and eventual death.
Laudis is widely trusted by maize growers because it provides fast action, broad-spectrum weed control, and excellent crop safety, ensuring that maize plants grow without competition from aggressive weeds. The herbicide quickly absorbs through weed leaves and stops photosynthesis, resulting in whitening of weeds within a few days and complete control within 10–15 days.
By eliminating early-stage weed competition, Laudis helps maize crops utilize nutrients, sunlight, and moisture efficiently—leading to healthier plants and improved yield potential.

Laudis Herbicide Features and Benefits
Broad Spectrum Weed Control
Effectively controls major broadleaf and grassy weeds commonly found in maize fields.
Fast Visible Action
Weeds start turning white (bleaching effect) within a few days due to disruption of chlorophyll protection.
Post-Emergence Flexibility
Can be applied early to late post-emergence, offering flexibility in weed management programs.
Systemic Herbicide Activity
Absorbed through leaves and translocated inside weeds, ensuring complete weed kill.
Excellent Crop Safety
Highly selective herbicide that targets weeds while remaining safe for maize at recommended dosage.
Residual Weed Suppression
Provides longer weed control and reduces the need for repeated manual weeding.
Supports Resistance Management
Works with a unique biochemical pathway, making it useful in herbicide resistance management programs.
Mode of Action
Laudis contains Tembotrione, an HPPD inhibitor herbicide that blocks the enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) responsible for carotenoid formation in plants. Without carotenoids, weeds lose protection from sunlight, chlorophyll degrades, and leaves turn white before the plant dies.
This bleaching effect is a clear indicator that the herbicide is working.
Usage and Crop Recommendations
| Crop | Target Weeds | Dosage / Acre | Water Volume | Waiting Period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maize (Corn) | Echinochloa spp., Trianthema portulacastrum, Brachiaria spp., Digitaria spp., Amaranthus spp. | 115 ml | 150–200 L | 55 Days |
Application Stage: 20–25 days after sowing (DAS) when weeds are at 2–4 leaf stage.
Method of Application: Uniform foliar spray using flat-fan nozzle.
Recommended Additive: Use with surfactant/sticking agent for better absorption.
Rain Fastness: Approximately 1–2 hours after spray.
Best Practices for Application
• Spray when weeds are young and actively growing
• Ensure uniform spray coverage for effective control
• Avoid spraying during strong winds or rainfall
• Always mix with recommended surfactant for better penetration
Storage and Handling
• Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight
• Keep away from food, feed, and drinking water
• Do not reuse empty containers
• Use gloves, mask, and protective clothing during application
