2,4-D Sodium Salt 80%
Introduction :
2,4-D Sodium Salt 80%
is a wide range selective weedicide, which controls broad
leaf type (DICOT) weeds in paddy fields, tea plantations,
sugarcane fields, fruit orchards etc. It is a
Translocated Systematic Post-Emergent Herbicide.

Utility :
2,4-D Sodium Salt 80%
is Sodium salt of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxy Acetic Acid and is
fully soluble in water and is packed in 25 Kg/10Kg HDPE
Bags and 500g cartons.
Type of Weeds
Controlled :
2,4-D Sodium Salt 80%
effectively controls all broad leaf (Dicot) type weeds and
creepers.
Use for Tea
Plantations :
2,4-D Sodium Salt 80%
controls MIKANIA wonderfully. It also kills
Bagracote
effectively and all other broad leaf type weeds and
creepers. Mikania is a very hazardous problem in Tea
Plantations which climbs and covers tea plants, bamboo
bari, wire fencing, drains, shade trees etc. At the time of
labour shortage. 2,4-D Sodium Salt 80% kills Mikania
thoroughly, while no damage is done to tea plants and
bamboo bari when recommended dose is applied (1 part
2,4-D Sodium Salt 80% into 200 parts of
water).
In newly planted tea where no other weedicides are
effective, 2,4-D Sodium Salt 80%, when sprayed on
broad leaf weeds, controls weeds most effectively.
In mature tea it controls all broad leaf weeds, except
thatch, at the same dose.
We recommend a sticking agent @ 120 cc per 200 litres of
water. SANDOVIT or TRITON A.E. are considered as a most
suitable sticking agent.
Use for Paddy
Fields :
2,4-D Sodium Salt 80%
controls all broad leaf type weeds in growing paddy when it
comes in contact with the undesirable weeds.
Use in Thatch
Bari :
After about one month
of burning the thatch bari, broad leaf weeds start
competing with new thatch, 2,4-D Sodium Salt 80%
controls the weeds effectively and thus maximum production
of thatch is ensured in minimum area.
Use in Sugarcane
and Orchards :
Dicot type weeds are a
big problem in sugarcane fields and orchards and other
crops like potato etc. 2,4-D Sodium Salt 80%
controls them most effectively.
Time of
Application :
2,4-D Sodium Salt 80%
can be applied throughout the year, but its concentration,
when weeds are soft and succulent, can be lighter and when
weeds are hard, its concentration will have to be
stronger.
Age of Weeds :
Though at higher dose
2,4-D Sodium Salt 80% will kill even mature broad
leaf weeds, it will kill very effectively with recommended
doses when the weeds and creepers are young and tender. In
paddy fields the weeds should be only 2 inches to 3 inches
high for most effective control.
Recommended Dose
for Application :
When used on young and
tender weeds 1 Kg. of 2,4-D Sodium Salt 80% should
be mixed with 100 litres to 200 litres of water depending
on the type of weeds which is required to be killed.
Normally, 1 Kg. 2,4-D Sodium Salt 80%, if sprayed
properly on one hectare, should kill the weeds. The spray
must come in full contact of the weeds and creepers in
paddy fields for effective control. A higher dose may be
required if the weeds are mature and old.
Type of Spraying
Equipment Recommended :
Normally hand operated
pressure type knapsack sprayers are preferred, but on
bamboo baris or other places where drift is no problem,
power sprayer can be used.
Hazard to
Workers :
Protective measures
should be adopted as per rules of the local Government to
handle the product safely.
