2,4-D Main - 2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL - ADAMA

ADAMA 2,4-D Main Herbicide Overview

ADAMA 2,4-D Main is a selective systemic post-emergence herbicide containing 2,4-D amine salt 58% SL. It is intended for labelled control of annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds in maize, wheat, sorghum and potato, as well as approved aquatic-weed and non-crop-land uses.

2,4-D belongs to the phenoxycarboxylic chemical group and is classified as a Group 4 auxin-mimic herbicide. It is absorbed by susceptible weeds and moves within the plant, disrupting normal growth. Use it only on the crop, weed spectrum, timing and dose printed on the current product label.

Why Choose ADAMA 2,4-D Main?

• Selective broadleaf weed control: Designed for labelled broad-leaved weeds in approved crops.
• Systemic action: Absorbed and translocated within susceptible weeds.
• Post-emergence use: Applied after weeds emerge, at the crop and weed stage stated on the label.
• Soluble-liquid formulation: Supplied as a 58% SL formulation for dilution and spray application.
• Multiple approved use areas: Official ADAMA information lists maize, wheat, sorghum, potato, aquatic weeds and non-crop land.

Technical Specifications

How It Works

1. Absorption: Susceptible weeds take up the herbicide after application.
2. Movement: The active ingredient moves systemically to growing tissues.
3. Growth disruption: Its auxin-mimic action interferes with normal cell division and development, leading to the decline of susceptible broad-leaved weeds.

Dosage and Application Guide

Use the crop-specific dose and spray-water volume printed on the current pack label. Government reference documents show different rates for different crops, so a single universal per-acre dose would be misleading. Do not estimate a dose from another crop or from a different 2,4-D formulation.

• Apply only at the crop and weed growth stage stated on the label.
• Measure the product accurately and use clean water and calibrated spray equipment.
• Maintain uniform coverage while preventing drift onto nearby sensitive broad-leaved crops.
• Do not mix with another pesticide or fertilizer unless the product label specifically permits it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ADAMA 2,4-D Main a pre-emergence herbicide?
No. ADAMA describes it as a post-emergence herbicide. Follow the current label for exact timing.

Does it control grassy weeds?
Its primary labelled role is broad-leaved weed control. Confirm the target weed on the pack label before application.

Can one dose be used for every crop?
No. Approved rates differ by crop and use area. Use only the crop-specific label rate.

Can it be sprayed near vegetables or pulses?
Prevent spray drift onto sensitive broad-leaved crops and follow all buffer, equipment-cleaning and safety directions on the label.

Safety and Disclaimer

Always read and follow the current official product label before use. Wear the personal protective equipment specified on the label, avoid inhalation and skin contact, keep the product away from children, animals, food and feed, and store it in the original closed container. The pack label is the final authority for approved crops, target weeds, dose, timing, waiting period, mixing, storage and disposal.
