General Information:

Leader is a post-emergence herbicide that contains the active ingredient glyphosate. It is effective against a wide range of weeds, including grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds, in a variety of crops, including rice, wheat, and maize. Leader is a systemic herbicide that is absorbed by the leaves of the weeds and translocated to all parts of the plant, including the growing points. It inhibits EPSP synthase, a key enzyme in the aromatic amino acid biosynthesis pathway. This disruption in amino acid biosynthesis leads to the death of the weeds.

Active Ingredient:

• Glyphosate 41% SL

Mode of Action:

Leader is a systemic herbicide that inhibits EPSP synthase, a key enzyme in the aromatic amino acid biosynthesis pathway. Aromatic amino acids are essential for plant growth and development. By inhibiting EPSP synthase, Leader prevents the weeds from producing aromatic amino acids, which leads to their death.

Application:

Leader can be applied as a post-emergence herbicide, meaning that it is applied to the weeds after they have emerged. The recommended dose and application method will vary depending on the weeds to be controlled. For example, to control grasses and sedges in rice, Leader can be applied as a post-emergence herbicide at a dose of 1.0-1.2 liters per hectare.

Precautions:

• Leader is a non-selective herbicide, meaning that it will kill any plant that it comes into contact with. It is important to avoid spraying Leader on desirable plants.
• Leader is toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms. Therefore, it should not be applied near water bodies.
• Leader has a long residual activity in the soil. Therefore, it is important to rotate crops to avoid injury to subsequent crops.

Additional Information:

Leader is a popular herbicide among farmers in India because it is effective against a wide range of weeds, including some difficult-to-control weeds such as barnyard grass and sedges in rice. It is also relatively safe for crops if used correctly.

However, it is important to note that Leader is a non-selective herbicide, so it is important to avoid spraying it on desirable plants. Leader is also toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms, so it should not be applied near water bodies.
