General Information:
Hijack is a non-selective, post-emergence herbicide that effectively controls a wide range of annual and perennial weeds, including grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds. It is a soluble liquid formulation that contains Glyphosate 41% SL as the active ingredient. Hijack is known for its broad-spectrum weed control and effectiveness in controlling emerged weeds.
Active Ingredients:
- Glyphosate 41% SL
Mode of Action:
Hijack's active ingredient, Glyphosate, inhibits an enzyme essential for plant amino acid synthesis, effectively disrupting protein production and leading to plant death. This mode of action is non-selective, affecting both target weeds and any non-target plants that come into contact with the herbicide.
Application:
Hijack is applied as a post-emergence herbicide, meaning it is applied after the weeds have emerged. It can be applied as a foliar spray to actively growing weeds. The recommended application rate varies depending on the target weeds and the application method.
Precautions:
- Hijack 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 Hijack to crops that are under stress from drought, flooding, or other factors.
- Do not apply Hijack to water bodies or areas where there is a risk of runoff to water bodies.
- Hijack is harmful to fish and aquatic organisms.
Doses:
The recommended dose of Hijack varies depending on the target weeds and the application method. Here are some examples:
- High-volume spraying: 1.5 to 2 liters per hectare
- Low-volume spraying: 1 to 1.5 liters per hectare
- Directed spray: 0.5 to 1 liter per hectare
Always refer to the product label for specific instructions and application rates for the target weeds and application method.
