Paidavaar Amifit Herbicide (2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL)

Paidavaar Amifit Herbicide (2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL)

Paidavaar Amifit Herbicide is a selective systemic herbicide containing 2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL. It is mainly used as a post-emergence treatment for controlling susceptible broadleaf weeds in crops such as maize, wheat, sorghum, potato and sugarcane, as well as certain aquatic and non-crop weed situations.

Amifit works as a synthetic auxin herbicide. It mimics natural plant growth hormones in susceptible weeds, causing abnormal and uncontrolled growth that eventually results in weed death.

Product Specifications

Technical Composition

2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL

2,4-D is a phenoxy herbicide belonging to HRAC Group 4. It behaves like a synthetic form of the natural plant hormone auxin and disrupts normal growth regulation in susceptible broadleaf weeds.

Key Features

• Selective systemic herbicide for broadleaf weed management.
• Contains 2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL.
• Primarily used as a post-emergence herbicide.
• Absorbed through susceptible weed foliage and translocated within the plant.
• Controls several important broadleaf weeds in registered crops.
• Useful in maize, wheat, sorghum, potato and sugarcane.
• Registered uses also include certain aquatic weeds and non-crop areas.
• HRAC Group 4 synthetic auxin mode of action.

Benefits of Paidavaar Amifit

• Broadleaf Weed Control: Helps manage a wide range of susceptible annual and perennial broadleaf weeds.
• Systemic Activity: The active ingredient moves within susceptible weeds after absorption.
• Post-Emergence Use: Targets weeds after emergence when they are actively growing.
• Multiple Crop Uses: Registered same-technical uses cover several important field crops.
• Reduced Weed Competition: Helps reduce competition for crop nutrients, moisture, sunlight and growing space.

Recommended Crops, Weeds & Dosage

Crop-specific doses vary considerably. Always follow the current Amifit product label and leaflet rather than using one common dose for every crop.

Amifit for Maize

In maize, 2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL is registered for control of broadleaf weeds including Amaranthus species, Tribulus terrestris, Boerhaavia diffusa, Euphorbia hirta, Portulaca oleracea and Trianthema monogyna.

The registered formulation rate is approximately 0.86 litre per hectare, equivalent to around 350 ml per acre.

Amifit for Wheat

In wheat, registered weeds include Chenopodium album, Fumaria parviflora, Melilotus alba, Vicia sativa, Asphodelus tenuifolius and Convolvulus arvensis.

The registered formulation rate is approximately 0.86–1.29 litres per hectare.

Amifit for Sorghum

In sorghum, 2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL is used against weeds including Cyperus iria, Digera arvensis, Convolvulus arvensis, Trianthema species, Tridax procumbens, Euphorbia hirta and Phyllanthus niruri.

Amifit for Sugarcane

Registered sugarcane weeds include Cyperus iria, Digitaria species, Dactyloctenium aegyptium, Digera arvensis, Portulaca oleracea, Commelina benghalensis and Convolvulus arvensis.

Amifit for Potato

Registered use in potato includes control of weeds such as Chenopodium album, Asphodelus tenuifolius, Anagallis arvensis, Convolvulus arvensis, Cyperus iria and Portulaca oleracea.

Mode of Action

2,4-D acts as a synthetic auxin. After absorption, it interferes with the natural hormonal balance of susceptible weeds and produces abnormal growth.

Affected weeds may show twisting, curling, malformed leaves and stems, followed by disruption of normal vascular and growth processes and eventual plant death.

Systemic Movement

Amifit is systemic. The active ingredient is absorbed by susceptible weeds and translocated toward actively growing plant tissues. This internal movement helps provide control beyond only the directly sprayed portion of the weed.

Best Time to Apply

Apply as a post-emergence treatment to actively growing susceptible weeds according to the crop-specific label. Young broadleaf weeds are generally easier to control than mature, hardened or stressed weeds.

Correct crop stage, weed stage and application timing are important for both weed control and crop safety.

How to Use Paidavaar Amifit

1. Identify the crop and target weeds correctly.
2. Confirm that the crop and weed are included on the current product label.
3. Measure the recommended crop-specific quantity.
4. Partially fill the spray tank with clean water.
5. Add the measured quantity of Amifit while mixing.
6. Add the remaining water and mix thoroughly.
7. Apply uniformly over actively growing target weeds.
8. Avoid spray overlap and drift onto neighbouring sensitive crops.

Important Spray Drift Precaution

2,4-D can seriously injure sensitive broadleaf crops and vegetation. Prevent spray drift onto nearby cotton, vegetables, pulses, oilseeds, fruit plants, ornamentals and other susceptible broadleaf crops.

Do not spray during strong winds. Use suitable spraying equipment and direct the spray only to the intended crop or weed area.

Application Tips

• Spray when target weeds are actively growing.
• Use the crop-specific label dose.
• Ensure uniform spray coverage.
• Use clean water for spray preparation.
• Avoid application during strong winds.
• Prevent drift onto sensitive broadleaf crops.
• Do not apply a single general dose across all crops.
• Follow crop-specific harvest and waiting-period instructions on the current label.

Resistance Management

2,4-D belongs to HRAC Group 4. Repeated dependence on one herbicide mode of action can increase selection pressure for resistant weed populations.

Use crop rotation, mechanical weed control and appropriately registered herbicides with different effective modes of action as part of an integrated weed-management programme.

Safety Precautions

• Read the complete label and leaflet before use.
• Wear suitable gloves, protective clothing, footwear and eye protection during mixing and spraying.
• Avoid inhaling spray mist.
• Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes.
• Do not eat, drink or smoke during herbicide handling.
• Prevent contamination of drinking-water sources.
• Use additional caution for applications involving aquatic weeds.
• Keep children and animals away from the product and treated area according to label instructions.
