How does 2,4-D work?
2,4-D is a synthetic auxin that mimics the plant growth hormone indole acetic acid, causing uncontrolled cell division and abnormal growth in susceptible broad-leaf weeds, leading to their distortion and death.
Is RATNA 2.4.D safe in cereal crops like wheat and maize?
Yes, 2,4-D is selective for monocot cereals (wheat, maize, sorghum) because these crops metabolise 2,4-D rapidly. Apply at recommended crop growth stages for maximum crop safety.
Can RATNA 2.4.D control aquatic weeds?
Yes, RATNA 2.4.D is registered for controlling water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) — a major aquatic weed — making it valuable for irrigation canal and water body weed management.
