HERBICIDE PRODUCTS
2,4-D Sodium Salt 80% W.P.
UNIQUE FEATURES
1. A selective, systemic, hormone, weed killer taken up by plants through leaves, roots, and more through the vascular system of plants.
2. It has been found effective as a pre-emergent weedicide.
3. A rain-free period of 6-10 hours from the application is adequate for full absorption of the chemical.
4. 2,4-D Sodium Salt is quite effective for aquatic herbs without causing any harm to fishes in general when used in the proper dose.
5. Rain, sub-surface water flow, soil capillary, etc. always help residual pesticides to find a way to water resources but 2,4-D Sodium Salt is much safer in this respect.
6. On unit acreage, using 2,4-D Sodium Salt would be much cheaper than that of any other herbicide.
7. 2,4-D Sodium Salt is used as raw material for Esters and Amine.
8. It is also an established plant growth regulator besides being a powerful (but safe) systemic herbicidal agent.
