🌱 Product Overview
2,4-D Agan is a selective systemic herbicide formulated with 80% sodium salt of 2,4-D acid. It is designed for the post-emergence control of a wide range of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds in various crops. The product’s selective action ensures that it effectively targets broadleaf weeds while being safe for major cereal and grass crops.
🌾 Recommended Crops
2,4-D Agan is suitable for use in the following crops:
-
Wheat
-
Maize
-
Sugarcane
-
Rice
-
Tea
-
Non-crop land
It effectively controls broadleaf weeds such as Amaranthus, Chenopodium, Bathua, Ipomoea, Lagasca, and Parthenium.
⚙️ Mode of Action
2,4-D Agan mimics the natural plant hormone auxin, leading to uncontrolled growth in susceptible broadleaf weeds. This disruption affects cell division and elongation, causing abnormal tissue development and ultimately leading to weed death. Being systemic, it is absorbed through the foliage and translocated throughout the plant, ensuring complete control from root to shoot.

-
Dilution: Mix with 160–200 liters of water per acre
