Effective weed control is essential for maximizing crop yields and ensuring healthy plant growth. Tamar Ametryne 80% WG is a premium-quality herbicide designed to offer reliable and long-lasting protection against a wide spectrum of weeds. Whether you're cultivating sugarcane or other field crops, Tamar ensures that your crop remains free from unwanted competition, helping you get the most out of your land and labor.
With its powerful formulation and proven results, Tamar is fast becoming the go-to solution for Indian farmers who want dependable performance and value for money.
What is Tamar Ametryne 80% WG?
Tamar is a selective herbicide featuring Ametryne 80% WG (Water Dispersible Granules) as the active ingredient. Ametryne belongs to the triazine family of herbicides, known for their systemic action and inhibition of photosynthesis in target weeds. The WG (Water Dispersible Granule) formulation is modern and farmer-friendly—less dust, easier mixing, and better storage stability.
Tamar works by being absorbed through both the roots and foliage of weeds. Once inside, it travels through the plant's vascular system and disrupts the photosynthetic process, effectively starving the weeds of the energy needed for growth. This results in rapid weed suppression and eventually complete eradication.
Mode of Action
Tamar Ametryne 80% WG functions by inhibiting photosystem II, an essential component of the photosynthesis process in plants. It binds to the D1 protein in the chloroplast thylakoid membrane, thereby blocking electron transport. This disrupts the plant’s ability to convert sunlight into energy, which causes the weed to wilt and die gradually.
The mode of action allows for long-lasting residual effects, reducing the need for frequent re-application.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ Broad-Spectrum Weed Control
Tamar is highly effective against annual grasses and broadleaf weeds, two of the most stubborn categories of unwanted plants in Indian agriculture. Whether it's Cynodon, Dactyloctenium, Amaranthus, or Chenopodium, Tamar offers thorough control.
✅ Pre- and Post-Emergence Flexibility
This herbicide can be applied both before and after weed emergence, depending on the type of crop and weed population. This gives farmers great flexibility in timing their applications.
✅ Easy-to-Use Formulation
The Water Dispersible Granule (WG) formulation means Tamar dissolves quickly and evenly in water, ensuring uniform spray coverage. It’s also safer for the user due to its low dust content.
✅ Long-Lasting Protection
One application of Tamar can provide protection for weeks, minimizing labor and operational costs and offering peace of mind during critical crop growth stages.
✅ Promotes Crop Health
By eliminating weed competition, Tamar ensures your main crop receives unhindered access to water, nutrients, and sunlight, ultimately leading to improved crop vigor and better yield.
✅ Environmentally Responsible
Tamar breaks down naturally in soil over time and does not persist beyond safe limits, ensuring minimal environmental impact.
Recommended Crops
While Tamar is primarily recommended for sugarcane, it is also compatible with other crops based on regional agronomic practices and expert consultation. It is particularly useful in crops that are sensitive to competition during their early vegetative stage.
Target Weeds
Tamar controls a variety of weeds such as:
Grasses: Cynodon dactylon (Bermuda grass), Dactyloctenium aegyptium (Crowfoot grass), Echinochloa spp.
Broadleaf Weeds: Amaranthus viridis (Green amaranth), Chenopodium album (Goosefoot), Parthenium hysterophorus (Carrot grass)
Its systemic action ensures deep penetration and control, even of weeds that have already sprouted and taken root.
Application Guidelines
📌 Dosage
Apply 0.5 to 1.0 kg per hectare, depending on weed intensity and soil type. Always follow label instructions or consult an agricultural officer for precise dosage.
📌 Timing
For pre-emergence, apply within 1-2 days after sowing.
For post-emergence, apply when weeds are in the early growth stages (2-4 leaves).
📌 Method of Application
Use a knapsack sprayer with a flat-fan or flood-jet nozzle for best results.
Ensure uniform coverage by spraying during calm weather to avoid drift.
Maintain optimal soil moisture at the time of application for enhanced effectiveness.
Safety and Precautions
Use personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, masks, and goggles during mixing and application.
Do not allow spray to drift onto non-target crops or water bodies.
Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after use.
Store in a cool, dry place away from children, animals, and food materials.
