PRODUCT INFORMATION
Acetochlor 840 is a selective Pre-emergence Herbicide for Weed control in Maize and Sweet Corn. Acetochlor 840 provides up to 10-12 weeks residual control of Annual and Broadleaf Weeds. Apply directly after planting will ensure chemical is absorbed through the shoots of emerging Weeds causing death.
Active Ingredient:
840g/L acetochlor in the form of an Emulsifiable Concentrate
What It Controls:
Controls:
- Annual Grasses (eg. Summer Grass, Barnyard Grass).
- Many Broadleaf Weeds (eg. Nightshade, Chickweed, Thistles).
Important:
- Works before Weeds emerge, not after.
- Provides residual control (10–12 weeks).
Where You Can Use It:
- Grain Maize.
- Silage Maize.
- Sweet Corn (in practice, similar products allow this).
Not For:
- Lawns.
- Pasture.
- General spraying.
- This is a Crop-specific Herbicide, not a general Weedkiller like 2,4-D.
How It Works:
- Absorbed by emerging shoots of Weeds.
- Stops growth before plants break the surface.
- That’s why timing is everything.
When To Apply: (CRITICAL).
Pre-emergence only:
- Apply immediately after planting Maize.
Before:
- Crop emerges.
- Weeds emerge.
- If weeds are already visible → too late.
Application Basics: (General Method).
- Boom spray over soil after planting Water Rates (typical label style):
- Around 100–300 L/ha (common for this type).
Key Requirement:
- Needs moisture (rain or irrigation) to activate.
Without Rain:
- Effectiveness drops significantly.
Mixing & Compatibility:
Often Used With:
- Atrazine.
- Dicamba.
Tank Mixing:
- Expands Weed Control spectrum.
- Common in Maize programs.
Always:
- Follow label combinations.
- Do a jar test.
Safety & Hazards: (IMPORTANT).
From EPA classification:
- Harmful if swallowed.
- Causes skin and eye irritation.
- May cause allergic skin reactions.
- May cause long-term organ effects.
- Very toxic to aquatic life.
- This is not a “light” chemical—treat it seriously.
Environmental Risks: (Highly Toxic To)
- Fish.
- Aquatic organisms.
- Soil life.
Label Implications:
- Avoid waterways.
- Prevent runoff.
- Careful on slopes or heavy rain.
Spray Drift & Handling:
Even though it’s soil-applied:
- Drift can still affect nearby Plants.
Must:
- Use correct nozzles.
- Avoid wind.
- Apply evenly.
Resistance Management:
- Group 15 Herbicide.
Meaning:
- Repeated use alone → Weeds can develop resistance.
- Should be rotated or mixed with other modes of action.
Key Mistakes To Avoid: (common real-world issues).
- Spraying too late.
- Once Weeds emerge → poor control.
- No rainfall after spraying product just sits on soil.
- Using on wrong Crops can damage non-maize plants.
- Uneven spraying leads to patchy Weed control.
Bottom line:
- Designed for Maize only.
- Works before Weeds appear.
- Needs moisture to activate.
- Provides long residual control.
- Strong chemical → handle carefully.
Caution:
Must be used strictly according to label directions.
