Mesotrione 40% SC Herbicide

This product entry lists Mesotrione at 40% in SC formulation, with CAS number 104206-82-8. It is a single-active catalogue option for importers, distributors and registrants reviewing a formulated herbicide. A useful purchase brief should specify this composition, the destination country and the registration stage. Selecting by the word “Mesotrione” alone can confuse the straight product with several different mixtures.

SC denotes suspension concentrate in the FAO/WHO formulation-code manual. It is a formulation description, not an assurance that a particular offered batch meets the buyer’s physical-quality limits.

Clarify what the 40% declaration means

Ask whether the offered specification expresses active content by mass or volume and require the basis to appear consistently in the quotation, specification, COA and label. Do not automatically convert this catalogue’s 40% to 400 g/L. A mass-based percentage and a mass-per-volume declaration need the appropriate density and stated conditions for comparison. The concentration basis and measured density are not published here.

A supplier comparison should also state the assay method and tolerance. Compare results with the agreed specification rather than treating a rounded catalogue percentage as the entire quality standard. Keep the signed commercial specification with the sample assessment and purchase documents.

Compare the actual Mesotrione catalogue configurations

• Nicosulfuron + Mesotrione 40 g/L / 60 g/L OD: two actives in an oil-dispersion entry, with each concentration expressed in g/L.
• Mesotrione + Atrazine 55% SC: a separate mixture entry. Request each active’s share and the percentage basis; the 55% title alone does not provide them.
• S-Metolachlor + Terbuthylazine + Mesotrione 375 g/L / 125 g/L / 37.5 g/L SC: three actives with separate g/L declarations.

These entries differ in active composition, concentration expression and, for the OD entry, formulation type. The catalogue comparison identifies those differences; it does not establish equal field performance, crop safety or a right to substitute one registered product for another.

Ask for an SC quality file that can be evaluated

Agree the physical tests relevant to the offered SC and destination standard. Questions can include how suspension stability, particle size, wet-sieve residue, pouring behavior and storage stability are assessed, and which methods and limits apply. These are buyer review questions, not measured results for this product. A concentration assay alone does not describe the entire suspension formulation.

• Specification: concentration basis, assay method and tolerance, appearance and the applicable SC physical tests.
• Sample assessment: identified sample lot, evaluation purpose, acceptance procedure and any retained-sample arrangement.
• Batch acceptance: actual lot identification and agreed analytical and physical test results, matched to the released product.

General FAO guidance on pesticide specifications describes the role of composition, physical properties and storage stability in a quality standard. It does not certify this Averstar entry against a FAO specification.

Set the label and document scope for the destination

Provide the exact destination registration or proposed registration route. The permitted crop or site, target weeds, use timing, rates, intervals and restrictions belong to the approved label of the exact formulation. The public entry does not establish that claim set. Ask for the product specification, matching SDS, identified sample and required batch COA, then list the registration and shipment documents needed for your market. A TEST COA example on the site cannot establish the quality of the quoted lot.

Prepare the packaging and quotation brief

State the quantity, required container size, container and closure requirements, label language, artwork approval process, carton details, Incoterm and intended delivery window. Request confirmation of which pack formats and documents are available for this particular offer. Keep the concentration expression consistent on the label and commercial documents, and record the sample and batch acceptance requirements before approving the order.
