2,4-D Agan - 2,4-D Sodium Salt 80% WP - ADAMA
2,4-D Agan - 2,4-D Sodium Salt 80% WP - ADAMA
2,4-D Agan Herbicide | 2,4-D Sodium Salt 80% WP
Selective, systemic post-emergence control of susceptible annual and perennial broadleaf weeds in permitted
crops and sites.
Product fit: 2,4-D Agan is a wettable-powder herbicide for broadleaf weed
management. Identify the weed and match the intended crop or site to the current Indian pack before choosing
it.
Timing matters: Post-emergence means treatment after weeds have emerged. It does
not specify a universal crop age, weed-leaf stage or spray date.
Keep formulations separate: Do not borrow an application rate from 2,4-D amine,
ester or another powder formulation. The supplied pack must match 2,4-D Agan and the stated composition.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🌿  Broadleaf weed focus: Suitable for
managing susceptible annual and perennial broadleaf weeds in the uses permitted on the supplied pack.
-
🎯  Post-emergence fit: Provides a
weed-control option after emergence rather than a general instruction to treat bare ground before weeds appear.
-
🌱  Systemic action: Works within susceptible
plants, rather than relying only on damage at the point of contact.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Mimics a growth signal: 2,4-D acts like auxin, a natural plant hormone that regulates growth.
-
Acts within the plant: Its systemic action allows it to move within susceptible plants and affect growing tissues.
-
Disrupts normal development: Abnormal growth responses, including uncontrolled growth and distortion, interfere with normal plant
function and can lead to weed death.
Susceptibility, correct timing and application conditions affect the result. Systemic activity does not
guarantee permanent root eradication or freedom from regrowth. Include HRAC Group 4 in resistance planning; changing to another Group
4 product alone is not a different-mode rotation.
Target Crops, Sites & Weeds
Use 2,4-D Agan only where the current Indian pack expressly permits the crop or site and the target weed. The
following crop and site categories are not a universal dose or permission to treat every weed present.
| Crop or site |
Use to check on the supplied pack |
|---|---|
| Wheat |
Susceptible broadleaf weeds, with the crop stage and weed stage matched to the pack. |
| Maize |
Susceptible broadleaf weeds in a permitted post-emergence use. |
| Citrus |
Susceptible broadleaf weeds, using only the placement and crop-protection directions stated for citrus. |
| Aquatic weeds |
Only a specifically permitted aquatic-weed use, including the exact water body and water-use restrictions. |
| Non-crop land |
Only the listed non-crop site and susceptible target weeds; do not extend this to adjoining crops or water bodies. |
Broadleaf control is not a claim to control all grasses or sedges. Do not use a crop rate for aquatic treatment
or a non-crop site, and do not assume that a permitted site removes environmental restrictions.
Dosage & Application Guide
Confirm the complete crop or site directions before measuring
For the selected crop or site, confirm the exact product amount, treated area, water or carrier volume,
placement, crop stage, weed stage, repeat-treatment conditions and harvest or water-use restrictions on the supplied current pack. Do
not apply until these directions are clear. No universal per-acre, per-litre or tank recipe is given here.
Retain the post-emergence window, but do not replace the precise first-treatment conditions with a fixed number
of days after sowing. Missing quantities or waiting information do not mean that no water, interval or restriction applies. A
pre-harvest interval runs from the final application to harvest; re-entry and repeat-treatment intervals are
separate.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Check the exact pack: Match the name, active ingredient, concentration and WP formulation. Do not substitute another brand, 2,4-D
formulation or overseas-label directions.
-
Identify the crop and weeds: Check both before opening the pack. Confirm the permitted post-emergence crop and weed stages; do not
apply before emergence simply because another 2,4-D product allows it.
-
Use the specified method: Follow the supplied pack for equipment, nozzle, placement, mixing and agitation. Calibrate the equipment
for the measured area. Do not interchange crop spraying, soil application, seed treatment or aquatic treatment.
-
Protect nearby plants and water: Avoid drift and follow the pack’s wind and weather precautions. Keep the treatment within the
permitted area. No fixed rainfast interval is implied.
-
Check mixtures before combining products: Do not mix with pesticides, fertilisers or adjuvants unless both current labels permit
the proposed combination for the exact crop or site, method and partner product. After that permission is confirmed, perform a preliminary
jar test to check physical compatibility before tank-mixing. A jar test alone does not establish permission or crop safety.
-
Keep treatment records: Record the crop or site, field, target weeds, treated area, application date and product quantity. Observe
all harvest, re-entry, water-use and repeat-treatment restrictions.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is 2,4-D Agan the same as a 2,4-D amine or ester product?
No. This listing concerns 2,4-D Sodium Salt 80% WP. Different concentrations and formulations must not be
interchanged by copying another product’s amount or dilution.
2. Can I use it before weeds emerge?
Choose it for the permitted post-emergence use. That window does not replace the exact crop stage and weed
stage on the supplied pack; do not borrow a pre-emergence programme from another product.
3. What amount should I use per acre or per tank?
Use the complete directions for the exact crop or site on the supplied current Indian pack. The area rate,
water volume, method, first-treatment conditions and restrictions must belong to the same use. Do not calculate a tank recipe from a
generic online rate.
4. Does systemic action guarantee permanent root control?
No. Systemic action means the herbicide works within the plant. Weed susceptibility, growth stage,
application conditions and later regrowth affect control; permanent eradication is not guaranteed.
5. Does an aquatic or non-crop listing mean I can use it anywhere?
No. Confirm that the exact water body or non-crop site and target weed are permitted on the supplied pack,
with all placement and water-use safeguards. A field-crop rate is not an aquatic-use instruction.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the supplied current Indian label and leaflet before use. Match the exact
product, crop or site, target weed and complete directions. Use only the permitted purpose and do not treat this guide as a
replacement for the pack.
Wear the protective clothing, gloves, eye protection and respiratory protection specified on the pack.
Avoid skin, eye and mouth contact and inhaling dust, spray mist, fog or vapour. Do not mix with bare hands. Do not eat, drink,
smoke or chew while handling or applying the product. Wash exposed skin and contaminated clothing after work, and keep children,
unprotected people and animals away.
Keep the product in its original labelled, tightly closed container in secure storage, away from children,
food, feed and drinking water. Follow the pack’s storage and weather precautions. Avoid spray drift. Keep drift, leftovers, runoff
and equipment washings away from non-target areas, food, feed and water sources. Aquatic treatment requires specific pack
permission for that site and compliance with every water-use restriction; do not treat unlisted water bodies.
Do not reuse empty containers. Dispose of leftovers and packaging through the approved route stated on the
pack and applicable local requirements. Do not discard them into drains, wells, ponds or other water sources.
Seek medical help promptly after exposure or illness and show the product label. Do not self-administer
antidotes or attempt home remedies. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not induce vomiting unless directed
by a medical professional.
