Description:

AGRIVENTURE AMEEN is a selective, systemic, and post-emergent herbicide used to control broadleaf weeds and sedges in crops like wheat, maize, sorghum, potato, and sugarcane. It mimics the natural plant hormone auxin, causing weeds to grow uncontrollably and die.

Technical content: 2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL

Key Features & Benefits:

• Systemic Action: Absorbed rapidly through the leaves and roots, it translocates throughout the plant’s vascular system for complete root-to-tip eradication.
• Selective Control: Mimics natural plant hormones (auxins), causing a hormonal overdose that triggers uncontrolled, abnormal growth in broadleaf weeds while leaving grassy crops untouched.
• Low Volatility: The amine salt formulation has low volatility, meaning it is less prone to vaporizing and causing damage to nearby sensitive vegetation compared to ester formulations.
• Broad-Spectrum Effectiveness: Effectively tackles stubborn broadleaf weeds, Cyperus species (sedges), and even certain aquatic weeds.
• Instant Solubility: Formulated as a Soluble Liquid (SL), it mixes instantly with water and works effectively in many soil types and cropping systems.

Crops suitability: Wheat, Maize (Corn) & Sorghum, Sugarcane, Potato, Tea

Commonly used for:

• Crop Protection: Protecting cereals and grains (such as wheat, maize, sorghum), sugarcane, and potatoes from competing weeds.
• Specific Broadleaf Targets: Eliminating weeds like Chenopodium album, Cyperus iria (sedges), Convolvulus arvensis, and Amaranthus spp.
• Non-Cropped Areas: Clearing unwanted vegetation in fallow lands, industrial sites, and fence rows.
• Aquatic Weed Control: Managing aquatic vegetation like water hyacinth.

Mode of entry: Systemic

Mode of action:

• Mimicking Auxin: The chemical acts like a naturally occurring plant hormone called auxin (IAA).
• Disrupting Growth: It causes rapid, uncontrolled cell division and elongation, altering cell wall plasticity and protein synthesis.
• Systemic Translocation: Because it is systemic, it moves throughout the plant's vascular system, ensuring the roots are also affected.
• Plant Death: The unsustainable growth leads to stem curling, leaf withering, and complete plant death within a few weeks.

Mode of application: Foliar spray

Dose: 60ml in 15-liter water

Additional information:

• Timing: Apply when weeds are young and actively growing (around the 2–3 leaf stage).
• Nozzle Type: Use a flat fan or flood jet nozzle with a spray hood to prevent drift onto sensitive, non-target crops.
