• Active ingredient: 2,4-D ethyl ester. 
• Formulation: Granular (GR), meaning it is applied in a solid, pellet-like form. 
• Concentration: 4.5% GR, which is equivalent to 4% 2,4-D acid w/w. 
• Application: Used as a selective herbicide to control broadleaf weeds. 
• Target crops: Commonly used in crops like sorghum, maize, and wheat. 
• Target weeds: Effective against broadleaf weeds.

• Weed control: It is effective against both broadleaf and grassy weeds, including persistent types like Amaranthus, Digitaria, and Echinochloa. 
• Crop protection: It selectively targets weeds, protecting crops such as maize, sugarcane, and sorghum from competition for resources, which promotes healthier growth and higher yields. 
• Application timing: It can be applied as a pre-emergent treatment (before weeds sprout) or as an early post-emergent treatment (when weeds are very young). 
• Mechanism of action: The herbicide is absorbed through the roots and foliage of the weed and works by inhibiting photosynthesis, ultimately leading to the death of the weed. 
• Residual action: It provides long-lasting control, which means it continues to work for a period after application, reducing the need for repeat treatments.

• Type: It is a selective, systemic herbicide, meaning it kills only specific types of plants (broad-leaved weeds) and is absorbed and distributed throughout the plant's system. 
• Active Ingredient: The main component is 2,4-D Sodium Salt, with a concentration of 80%. 
• Mechanism: It acts as a plant growth regulator, disrupting cell division and causing the weed to grow abnormally until it dies. 
• Absorption: The herbicide is absorbed by the plant's leaves and roots. 

• Application: It is applied as a spray to control weeds. 
• Rain-free period: After spraying, it needs at least 6 to 10 hours without rain to be fully absorbed by the weeds. 
• Targeted crops: It can be used in a variety of crops, including sugarcane, wheat, maize, citrus, and grapes. 
• Target weeds: It effectively controls broad-leaved weeds, but can also be used against some grassy weeds and sedges depending on the product.

• When applied, it is rapidly absorbed by the weed's foliage.
• The PPO inhibition leads to the buildup of toxic intermediates that cause the disruption of plant cell membranes.
• This results in tissue necrosis and the rapid desiccation (drying out) and death of the weeds.

• Chemical Identity: It is a chlorophenoxyacetic acid herbicide, specifically the ethyl ester form of 2,4-D. 
• Target Weeds: It is designed to kill broadleaf weeds, which are weeds with wide leaves. 
• Application: It is a wettable powder that must be diluted with water before being sprayed on crops. 
• Crop Use: It is used for weed control in crops such as wheat, sorghum, rice, maize, and bajra. 
• Formulation: The "20% WP" indicates a 20%20 %20% concentration of the active ingredient and a wettable powder formulation. 
• Safety: Users should wear protective gear during handling and application, and avoid spraying in high winds or during rain. It should not be used on legume or broadleaf vegetable crops.

• Active ingredients: Sodium Acifluorfen 21.4% EC (Emulsifiable Concentrate). Note that some products containing Acifluorfen sodium may combine it with other herbicides, such as Clodinafop-Propargyl, to broaden the spectrum of weeds controlled.
• Mode of action: Acifluorfen belongs to the nitrophenyl ether group of herbicides. It works by inhibiting the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO), which is necessary for chlorophyll synthesis. This inhibition leads to rapid cell membrane disruption in susceptible weeds. 

• Target crops: Soybeans, peanuts, and rice. Some variants may also be used for specific weed control in corn.
• Controlled weeds: It effectively controls a broad spectrum of annual broadleaf weeds and some grasses. Examples include:
  • Morningglory
  • Cocklebur
  • Pigweed
  • Ragweed
  • Jimsonweed
  • Foxtail species
  • Barnyardgrass (in rice)
