Gage -Amine Salt 58% SL

Gage – Amine Salt 58% SL is a selective, systemic herbicide formulated as an amine salt of 2,4-D. It is highly effective in controlling a wide range of broadleaf weeds without affecting cereal crops. The formulation ensures better solubility, uniform absorption, and enhanced weed control, making it a reliable choice for modern agriculture.

Mode of Action

• Systemic action: Absorbed through leaves, stems, and roots of weeds.

• Hormonal disruption: Mimics natural plant growth hormones (auxins) causing uncontrolled growth, distortion, and ultimately death of susceptible broadleaf weeds.

• Translocation: Moves within the plant’s vascular system, ensuring complete kill from top to root.

Benefits

• Effective broadleaf weed control – Eliminates competition and promotes better crop establishment.

• Crop selectivity – Safe for cereals like wheat, maize, paddy, and sugarcane when used as recommended.

• Faster action – Visible weed suppression within a few days of application.

• Enhanced productivity – Supports higher yields by minimizing crop-weed competition.

• Cost-effective solution – High concentration formulation ensures lower dose requirement.

Recommendations

• Crop Safety: Apply only on recommended crops at the right growth stage to avoid phytotoxicity.

• Application Timing: Spray during active weed growth (2–4 leaf stage) for best results.

• Dosage: Use 500–800 ml per acre (depending on weed intensity and crop) diluted in 150–200 liters of water.

• Method of Application: Foliar spray with uniform coverage; avoid drift to non-target crops.

• Precautions:

  • Do not mix with other herbicides unless recommended.

  • Avoid spraying during high wind or rain to prevent drift.

  • Ensure protective clothing during application.
