ABOUT PRODUCT

• Dhanuka Sempra Herbicide is the first herbicide introduced in India by Dhanuka Agritech Ltd for effective control of Cyperus rotundus.
• It is a selective, systemic, post-emergence herbicide with WDG formulation for effective control of Cyperus rotundus from nuts in Sugarcane and Maize crop.
• Dhanuka Sempra Herbicide has strong systemic action i.e. moves in both ways through Xylem & Phloem.

USAGE

• CROPS – Sugarcane, Maize,

• TARGETED WEED – Cyperus rotundus

• MODE OF ACTION – Sempra, being a sulfonylurea group herbicide, inhibits acetolactate synthase (ALS), which is the first enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of the essential branched chain Amino acide. Inhibition of ALS leads to the starvation of the plant for these amino acids, resulting in death (killing) of weeds. For crop plants, in the grass family like maize sugarcane, etc. there is no effect of Sempra as these plant have strong mixed function oxidases which breaks down the herbicide molecule to acid metabolite forms.

• DOSAGE – 36g/acre.
