ADAMA Eliwid Herbicide (Topramezone 336 g/l SC)
The Ultimate Post-Emergence Weed Control Solution for Maximum Maize Yields
Protect your maize (corn) crops from aggressive, yield-robbing weeds with ADAMA Eliwid. Designed with advanced chemical engineering, this premium post-emergence herbicide delivers exceptional, broad-spectrum control over both grassy and broad-leaved weeds.
By eliminating competition for water, nutrients, and sunlight early in the season, Eliwid ensures your maize crop reaches its full genetic yield potential.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️ Broad-Spectrum Power: Effectively kills a wide variety of tough grassy and broadleaf weeds in a single application, saving you time and labor costs.
- 🛡️ Total Systemic Action: Travels deep into the weed's vascular system, destroying it from the highest shoot down to the deepest root, preventing costly regrowth.
- ⏳ High Crop Safety: Maize plants naturally and quickly break down the herbicide, keeping your corn perfectly safe while the weeds are wiped out.
- 🌧️ Advanced SC Formulation: The specialized Suspension Concentrate (SC) liquid easily coats leaves and quickly absorbs into the weed, maximizing efficiency and operator safety.
- 🌿 Powerful Tank-Mix Synergy: When mixed with Atrazine, it creates a fast-acting oxidative stress response that quickly overwhelms and destroys even the most stubborn, hard-to-kill weeds.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Eliwid stops weed growth through a highly advanced biological process that forces the weed to self-destruct under sunlight. Here is how it protects your crop:
- Rapid Absorption & Movement: The liquid quickly penetrates the weed's leaves and travels down into the roots and growing tips.
- Pigment Disruption (Bleaching): It blocks the HPPD enzyme, which immediately stops the weed from producing protective plant pigments (carotenoids). The weed turns stark, translucent white.
- Sunlight Destruction: Without its protective pigments, normal sunlight causes massive cellular damage to the weed, completely destroying it within days.
Note: Maize crops are safe because they possess a unique natural enzyme that rapidly breaks down the herbicide before it can cause any harm.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Maize (Zea mays) | Grassy Weeds (Makra Grass, Sawa Grass, Baru Grass) |
| Maize (Zea mays) | Broad-Leaved Weeds (Bokhna, Dudhi) |
| Maize (Zea mays) | Tough, Recalcitrant, and Deep-Rooted Weeds |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maize (Corn) | Refer to Product Label | Recommended per Label | Refer to Product Label | Refer to Product Label |
| N/A | - | - | - | - |
| N/A | - | - | - | - |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For guaranteed results, spray early post-emergence strictly when weeds are at the 2 to 3 leaf stage. Do not wait until weeds are fully grown.
- Mixing: It is mandatory to tank mix Eliwid with Atrazine 50% WP. This powerful combination is the secret to getting perfect weed control.
- Coverage: Spray evenly over the entire field to ensure the active ingredient thoroughly coats the weed leaves.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying near water sources.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do I really need to mix this with Atrazine?
Yes. The manufacturer makes tank-mixing with Atrazine 50% WP a mandatory requirement. Together, they create a super-powered effect that completely destroys tough weeds faster than either product alone.
2. When is the exact right time to spray?
The absolute best time to spray is when the weeds have 2 to 3 small leaves. At this stage, the herbicide easily enters the plant and kills it instantly, protecting your maize from early competition.
3. Will Eliwid hurt my maize plants?
No. Eliwid is highly selective. Maize plants have a special internal defense that safely digests the chemical before it can cause any harm, leaving your crop completely healthy.
4. Does it kill the weed down to the roots?
Yes, it is a fully systemic herbicide. This means once it touches the leaf, it travels deep through the weed's veins, killing the roots so the weed cannot grow back later in the season.
5. Why do the weeds turn stark white after spraying?
Eliwid blocks the weed's ability to produce protective color pigments. Without these pigments, natural sunlight chemically burns the weed, turning it white (bleaching) right before it dies.
