Weed control in maize is crucial for protecting yields, and Principal® Gold from Corteva Agriscience offers the best solution for full control with just one application.
After only two years on the market, the product has established itself as the preferred solution for controlling grass and broadleaf weeds in maize, thanks to its reliable efficacy, excellent selectivity, and application flexibility.

Efficacy and Selectivity in One

Principal® Gold combines three active ingredients – nicosulfuron, rimsulfuron, and dicamba, which act synergistically to destroy a wide spectrum of weeds, including johnsongrass from rhizomes and black nightshade.
Thanks to the built-in safener, the product guarantees 100% crop selectivity and can be applied up to the 9-leaf stage, which provides great treatment flexibility and peace of mind for farmers.

Application Rate

48 g/decare + 0.1% adjuvant Vivol™ 90
This combination ensures maximum penetration and rapid action on weeds, even under high density and difficult climatic conditions.

Exceptional Field Results

Principal® Gold provides complete weed control up to the 14th day after treatment.
Farmers across the country confirm that the product maintains its efficacy even under high temperatures and variable growing conditions.
These results have established Principal® Gold as the #1 herbicide for weed control in maize.
