2,4-D Main Amine Salt 58% SL
Description: 2,4-D Main Amine Salt 58% SL is a selective herbicide widely used for controlling broadleaf weeds in several crops. It mimics the plant hormone auxin, causing uncontrolled growth that results in weed death. This herbicide is effective on various tough weeds but is safe for most cereal crops, making it a popular choice for controlling unwanted vegetation in fields.
Recommended Crops:
- Maize
- Wheat
- Potato
- Sugarcane
- Aquatic Weeds
Recommended Dosage: 2 to 5 ml per liter of water
Key Features:
- Selective herbicide targeting broadleaf weeds without harming grasses and cereals.
- Effective against tough weeds like thistles, dandelions, and nettles.
- Lower volatility, making it safer to use under varying weather conditions.
- Formulated as an amine salt for better water solubility and easy application.
Target Crops, Weeds, and Dosage:
Crop Name | Common Weed Name | Dosage per Acre |
---|---|---|
Maize | Broadleaf Weeds | 500–1000 ml |
Wheat | Broadleaf Weeds | 500–800 ml |
Potato | Broadleaf Weeds | 500 ml |
Sugarcane | Broadleaf Weeds | 700 ml |
Aquatic Weeds | Various Aquatic Weeds | 500–1000 ml |
How to Use:
- Mix the required amount of 2,4-D Main Amine Salt with water (2 to 5 ml per liter).
- Use a sprayer to apply the herbicide evenly across the target area, ensuring complete coverage of weeds.
- Best applied during the early stages of weed growth, when weeds are young and actively growing.
- Avoid applying during windy conditions to prevent spray drift to non-target plants.
Precautions:
- Ensure the herbicide is not applied to crops other than those listed to prevent crop damage.
- Do not apply in excessively hot or dry conditions to reduce the risk of volatilization.
- Always wear appropriate protective gear, such as gloves and goggles, during application.
- Avoid runoff into water sources to prevent harm to aquatic life.
Benefits:
- Efficient control of a broad range of broadleaf weeds.
- Works well in conjunction with other herbicides for integrated weed management.
- Cost-effective and widely used in large-scale farming operations.
- Low volatility reduces the risk of spray drift in fluctuating weather conditions.
Note: Always follow the instructions on the label for mixing, application, and safety precautions. Consult a local agricultural expert for best practices tailored to your specific conditions.
