🌱 Product Overview

Excel Mera 71 is a broad-spectrum, non-selective herbicide formulated with 71% ammonium salt of glyphosate. It is designed for effective control of both annual and perennial weeds in various crops and non-crop areas. The systemic action ensures thorough eradication by translocating the herbicide throughout the plant, including the roots.

All fruits
Non-cropped areas

It is effective in both agricultural and horticultural settings, as well as in non-crop areas.

⚙️ Mode of Action

Excel Mera 71 works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), disrupting the shikimate pathway essential for plant growth. This leads to the cessation of protein synthesis and eventual plant death. Being systemic, it is absorbed through the foliage and translocated to the roots, ensuring complete control of the target weeds.
