Item description
Syngenta Travirto Herbicide: The Ultimate Maize Weed Killer (Tembotrione 34.4% SC)
Stop letting weeds steal your corn yield. Syngenta Travirto is a powerful, post-emergence herbicide designed specifically for Maize (Corn) farmers.
Powered by the advanced molecule Tembotrione, Travirto offers the same premium performance as leading competitors but at a much more affordable price. It targets tough grasses and broadleaf weeds during the critical 15-25 day window, ensuring your crop grows healthy and weed-free.
Best for: Farmers looking for a "rescue" spray to kill weeds that have already emerged.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️ Rapid Action: Visual results in just 3-5 days. Weeds turn white (bleach) and stop growing almost immediately.
- ?️ Crop Safety: Highly safe for Maize. It kills the weeds without harming your corn crop thanks to advanced safener technology.
- ⏳ Cost Effective: Saves you 65-80% compared to manual labor weeding and is significantly cheaper than other premium brands like Laudis.
- ?️ Rainfastness: Quickly absorbed by leaves. It becomes rain-proof within 1 to 2 hours after spraying.
- ? Broad Spectrum: Controls both tough grassy weeds (like Jungle Rice) and broadleaf weeds (like Carpet Weed) in one shot.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Travirto works by starving the weed of its natural protection against the sun. This unique "Bleaching Action" ensures weeds cannot recover.
- Blocks Enzyme: It inhibits the HPPD enzyme, which is essential for plant health.
- Destroys Sunscreen: It stops the weed from producing Carotenoids (the plant's natural sunscreen).
- Solar Destruction: Without protection, sunlight destroys the weed's chlorophyll, turning the leaves white and killing the plant completely.
Note: Maize is able to metabolize this chemical rapidly, which is why your crop stays green while the weeds die.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Maize (Corn) | Echinochloa colona (Jungle Rice), Echinochloa crus-galli (Barnyard Grass) |

| Maize (Corn) | Amaranthus viridis (Pigweed), Digera arvensis |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. You must use a high water volume (200L) to reach small weeds hidden under the crop.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maize | 115 ml | 200 Litres | 0.6 ml | Refer to Label (approx 90) |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: The most critical factor. Spray 15 to 25 Days After Sowing (DAS), when weeds are at the 2-4 leaf stage. Do not spray after the corn has 6 leaves.
- Mixing: You MUST add a surfactant (MSO or Adjuvant) at 400-500ml per acre. Travirto will not work effectively without it.
- Coverage: Use a Flat Fan or FloodJet nozzle. Do not use hollow cone nozzles, as they cause drift and poor coverage.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is Travirto different from Bayer Laudis?
Technically, they are nearly identical. Both use
Tembotrione. The main difference is the price—Travirto is
approximately 40-50% cheaper, offering excellent value.
2. Is the surfactant really necessary?
Yes, absolutely. Tembotrione needs help to penetrate
the waxy leaves of weeds. Without the 400ml/acre surfactant, the
herbicide may fail.
3. Can I plant vegetables after using Travirto?
Be careful. Tembotrione residues can affect sensitive
crops. Wait at least 10 months before planting vegetables, pulses,
or mustard. Wheat can be planted after 4-6 months.
4. Can I mix it with Atrazine?
Yes, tank-mixing with a reduced dose of Atrazine is a common
practice to boost control against stubborn weeds, but ensure
the crop height is under 12 inches to avoid injury.
5. What if it rains after spraying?
Travirto is rainfast within 1 to 2 hours. If it rains after
this period, you do not need to re-spray.
