Merlin - Herbicides from the German company Bayer AG is an innovative development that contributes to the increase in yield, while preserving the quality of cultural crops. High-tech means will protect crops, and specifically for
corn Merlin Herbicide (Merlin Herbicide - Ukrainian) will be indispensable. It has proven itself among farmers as an effective pre-emergence preparation that can easily deal with annual dicotyledonous pests and cereal weeds.

Principle of operation
The product has a deep systemic effect. The main absorption occurs by the roots and partially by the leaves. Moving along a sensitive plant, it prevents the normal work of a special enzyme that is responsible for the main phases of carotenoid biosynthesis. This, in turn, provokes discoloration of weed plants and, accordingly, causes their death. The optimal effect is achieved in conditions of increased humidity. The higher the humidity, the more diketonitrile is formed in the soil from the main active ingredient - isoxaflutol. The ability of diketonitrile to penetrate into the soil at the level of the roots of competing plants, and isoxaflutol to remain on its surface provides a double effect - weeds that have already grown and those that will still sprout both from the deep and upper layers of the soil are controlled. Accordingly, less formation of diketonitrile occurs in dry and hot conditions. But the unique repeated ability of isoxaflutol to reactivate after a long time guarantees protection even with well-grown weeds after precipitation. This effect lasts the whole season, throughout the growing season. Reprocessing of the field is not required.
Main advantages
The herbicidal effect is noticeable already after 5-7 days - new plants do not sprout, and already existing ones die. The ability to regularly resume its function and be transformed into dikenotintrile is manifested for up to 7-9 weeks. The benefit is also due to its significant economy – it does not require large doses of concentration, which significantly reduces cultivation costs. Clear selectivity of influence – with a wide range of sensitive weeds, both
grains and annual dicots, and even particularly resistant to other
emergent herbicides, Merlin shows careful selectivity to culture, provided that the recommended norms are observed. In the case of processing fields with light soil and with heavy precipitation, in the form of prolonged showers, as well as with insufficiently deep sowing, frosts have a certain impact on the culture. Changes in the lower leaves can be observed - yellowing and curling. But, the phenomenon passes after 1-2 weeks, does not harm the productivity and quality of the cultivated species. The form of release - water-soluble granules and innovative packaging ensure complete safety during the preparation of the working solution, excluding direct contact with the herbicide and precise dosing.
