Anuweed 20 (Anu Products Limited) (2,4-D Ethyl Ester 20% WP) is a broad-spectrum, selective herbicide manufactured by Anu Products Limited. It is a wettable powder (WP) formulation containing 20% 2,4-D ethyl ester, a potent phenoxy herbicide with rapid contact and residual activity.
Mode of Action: 2,4-D mimics the plant hormone auxin, disrupting plant growth and development. This disruption leads to malformations, inhibited photosynthesis, and ultimately plant death.
Dosage and Application: The recommended dosage of Anuweed 20 varies depending on the crop, target weeds, and application method. For general weed control, the recommended dosage is 2-4 kg per hectare. Anuweed 20 should be applied as a foliar spray using a conventional sprayer. Make sure to cover all parts of the weeds, including the leaves, stems, and young shoots, with the spray solution.
Benefits of Using Anuweed 20:
- Broad-spectrum activity against a wide range of broadleaf weeds
- Selective activity, which means it will not harm most crop plants
