Item description
Super Hit Herbicide (2,4-D Sodium Salt 80% WP)
The trusted, cost-effective solution for controlling broadleaf weeds in Wheat, Maize, and Sugarcane.
Super Hit by Insecticides (India) Ltd. is a selective systemic herbicide containing 2,4-D Sodium Salt 80% WP. It is designed to eliminate tough broadleaf weeds (dicots) without harming your cereal crops.
⚠️ Important: Ensure you are buying the Herbicide (Yellow/Green pack). Do not confuse this with the "Super-Hit" Fungicide, as applying this herbicide to non-target crops will cause damage.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️ Fast Absorption: Rapidly absorbed by the roots and foliage of weeds, stopping their growth quickly.
- ?️ Crop Safety: Highly selective formula that kills weeds but stays safe for Wheat and Maize when used at the right stage.
- ⏳ Non-Volatile (Safe for Neighbors): Unlike Ester formulations, this Sodium Salt does not vaporize, reducing the risk of damage to nearby sensitive crops like Cotton.
- ?️ High Solubility: The high-quality 80% WP formulation dissolves easily in water, ensuring no nozzle clogging.
- ? Broad Spectrum: Effectively controls Bathua, Senji, Krishan Neil, and Water Hyacinth.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Super Hit works by mimicking the plant's natural growth hormones (Auxins), causing a metabolic disruption in weeds.
- Absorption: The herbicide is absorbed through the leaves and roots of the weed.
- Over-Stimulation: It triggers rapid, uncontrolled cell growth (twisting of stems/leaves).
- Starvation: This abnormal growth blocks the food transport system (Phloem), causing the weed to starve and die.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Wheat | Bathua (Chenopodium album), Senji, Krishan Neil |
| Maize | Carpet Weed (Trianthema), Amaranthus |
| Sugarcane | Creepers (Convolvulus), Broadleaf weeds, Sedge suppression |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat | 250 - 500 g | 120 - 150 L | 2.5 - 4 g | 30-40 |
| Maize | 300 - 400 g | 150 - 200 L | 2 g | -- |
| Sugarcane | 600 - 800 g | 200 L | 3 - 4 g | -- |
*Note: Since this is a Powder (WP), dosages are in Grams (g), not ml.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing (Wheat): Apply 30-40 Days After Sowing (DAS). Applying too early (<25 days) or too late (>50 days/boot stage) can damage the crop.
- Mixing: Premix the required quantity in a little water to make a slurry before adding to the main tank.
- Coverage: Use a Flat Fan or Flood Jet nozzle. Do not spray if wind velocity is high to prevent drift.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this the same as the "Super Hit" for
diseases?
No! This is an
Herbicide (weed killer). There is a
Fungicide also named Super-Hit. Do not confuse them; using
this on broadleaf crops (like veggies/cotton) will kill
them.
2. Can I use Super Hit on Cotton?
Absolutely not. Cotton is extremely sensitive to 2,4-D. Even
small drift can destroy a cotton crop.
3. Why use Sodium Salt (Super Hit) instead of
Ester?
Sodium Salt is non-volatile,
meaning it doesn't turn into vapor. This makes it safer to
use in areas where other sensitive crops are growing nearby.
4. What is the best time to spray in Wheat?
The ideal window is 30 to 40 days after sowing.
Spraying after the jointing stage can lead to malformed wheat
heads.
5. Can I mix it with other herbicides?
It is often used in sequence or tank-mixed
(cautiously) with grass killers like Clodinafop to control both
broadleaf and grassy weeds.
