HEERA-77 is a popular post-emergent, selective herbicide produced by HPM India.1 It contains 2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL (Soluble Liquid) as its active ingredient.2 This herbicide is widely used for effective control of broadleaf weeds in various crops and non-crop areas.3
Key features and benefits:
Selective weed control: HEERA-77 effectively targets and controls a broad spectrum of broadleaf weeds while being safe for most grasses and cereals.4 This makes it ideal for use in lawns, pastures, and crops like wheat, maize, rice, and sugarcane.
Systemic action: The herbicide is absorbed by the weeds through their leaves and roots and translocated throughout their system, ensuring complete control.5 It moves down to the roots, effectively killing the entire weed, not just the visible parts.6
Versatile application: HEERA-77 can be used in various settings, including:
Crop lands (wheat, barley, oats, maize, rice, sugarcane, etc.)7
Pastures and grasslands8
Non-crop areas (roadsides, fence lines, industrial sites)9
Lawns and turf
Effective against perennial weeds: It provides control of both annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, including dandelion, plantain, chickweed, and thistle.
Rainfastness: HEERA-77 becomes rainfast relatively quickly, reducing the risk of wash-off and ensuring effective weed control even after rainfall.
Cost-effective: It offers efficient weed control at an economical price.
Mode of action:
2,4-D Amine Salt is a synthetic auxin (plant growth hormone) that mimics the natural plant hormone indoleacetic acid (IAA).10 It disrupts the normal growth processes in susceptible plants, causing uncontrolled and distorted growth, which ultimately leads to their death.11
Recommended crops and areas:
Cereals (wheat, barley, oats, maize, rice)12
Sugarcane
Pastures and grasslands
Lawns and turf
Non-crop areas
Application:
HEERA-77 is a soluble liquid (SL) formulation.13 It should be diluted with water according to the recommended dosage and applied as a post-emergence foliar spray. Ensure thorough coverage of the weeds for optimal results. Always refer to the product label for specific instructions.
Safety precautions:
Always wear protective clothing, including gloves and a mask, when handling HEERA-77.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Do not apply near water bodies to prevent contamination.
Avoid spray drift to non-target plants.
Important Note:
Always follow the recommended dosage and application instructions provided on the product label. For specific queries or concerns, consult an agricultural expert or contact HPM India directly.
