HALOSULFURON METHYL 75% WG
DESCRIPTION
HALOSULFURON METHYL 75% WG is the first herbicide for effective control of Cyperus rotundus. It is a selective, systemic, post-emergence herbicide with WDG formulation for effective control of Cyperus rotundus from nuts in Sugarcane and Maize crop. HALOSULFURON METHYL 75% has strong systemic action i.e. moves in both ways through Xylem & Phloem. HALOSULFURON METHYL 75% WG stops the metabolic functions of Cyperus by stopping formation of the amino acids (Valin, Isoleucine, Lucine) which is responsible for the protein required for growth of the Cyperus resulting in yellowing of its leaves & nuts becoming darker & further destroying it in 14-30 days.
MODE OF ACTION
HALOSULFURON METHYL 75% being a sulfonylurea group herbicide, inhibits acetolactate synthase (ALS), which is the first enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of the essential branched chain Amino acide (Valine, Leucine & isoleucine). Inhibition of ALS leads to the starvation of the plant (Cyperus rotundus) for these amino acids, resulting in death (killing) of weeds. For crop plants, in the grass family like maize sugarcane, etc. there is no effect of Sempra as these plant have strong MFO (mixed function oxidases) which breaks down the herbicide molecule to acid metabolite forms.

FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Efficacy at Low Dose: HALOSULFURON METHYL 75% WG provides outstanding control of Cyperus rotundus at 36 gm/acre. It also offers soil residual activity and controls late emerging weeds. Compared to traditional herbicides it’s dosage is low.
- Nutrient uptake checked: HALOSULFURON METHYL 75% WG checks nutrient uptake by Cyperus rotundus within 24 hrs of application resulting in good healthy crop.
- Safe to Crop: HALOSULFURON METHYL 75% WG does not harm the crop of Sugarcane & Maize.
- Strong Soil Residual Action: HALOSULFURON METHYL 75% WG has strong residual action due to which it controls new germinating Cyperus rotundus.
- Reduced Weeding Expenses: HALOSULFURON METHYL 75% WG gives freedom from repeated manual weeding which leads to saving manual labour cost in herbicides application.
- Increase Yield: HALOSULFURON METHYL 75% WG results in more yield hence more profits
