General Information:

Strike is a selective pre-emergence herbicide that effectively controls a wide range of annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds in maize, sugarcane, and other crops. It is a suspension concentrate formulation that contains Atrazine 50% as the active ingredient. Strike is known for its long residual activity and effective control of tough weeds.

Mode of Action:

Strike's active ingredient, Atrazine, belongs to the triazine group of herbicides. It acts by inhibiting photosynthesis in plants by interfering with electron transport in the photosystem II complex. This disruption leads to the inhibition of chlorophyll synthesis and ultimately causes the death of susceptible weeds.

Application:

Strike is applied as a pre-emergence herbicide, meaning it is applied to the soil surface before the weeds emerge. It is important to apply the herbicide to a well-prepared seedbed with good soil moisture to ensure uniform coverage and efficacy. The recommended application rate varies depending on the crop and the target weeds.

Precautions:

• Strike is a moderately toxic herbicide and should be handled with care. Wear protective clothing, gloves, and goggles when handling the product.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If contact occurs, flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
• Do not apply Strike to crops that are under stress from drought, flooding, or other factors.
• Do not apply Strike to water bodies or areas where there is a risk of runoff to water bodies.
• Strike is harmful to fish and aquatic organisms.

Doses:

The recommended dose of Strike varies depending on the crop and the target weeds. Here are some examples:

• Maize: 1 to 1.5 kg per hectare
• Sugarcane: 1 to 1.5 kg per hectare

Always refer to the product label for specific instructions and application rates for the target crop and conditions.

This list is not exhaustive, and Strike can control a wide range of other annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds. For specific information on weed control, always refer to the product label or consult with a local agricultural extension agent.
