Strike by Insecticides India

Strike Herbicide by Insecticides India is a selective pre-emergence herbicide formulated to effectively control a wide range of annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds in crops like maize and sugarcane. Its systemic action ensures thorough absorption through both roots and foliage, delivering long-lasting residual activity that combats even the toughest weeds.

Technical Details:

• Technical Name: Atrazine 50% WP
• Mode of Entry: Selective and systemic
• Mode of Action: Atrazine interferes with photosynthesis in various broadleaf plants and grasses. It is absorbed through roots and leaves, moving upwards to new growth areas, ultimately causing the plant to dry out and die. Older leaves tend to show symptoms more prominently than new leaves.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Provides effective control of broadleaf and grassy weeds in maize and sugarcane.
• Offers a long period of weed protection for crops.
• Highly cost-effective herbicide that aids in managing resistant weed populations.
