Product details
Heera-44 Herbicide by HPM
A systemic post-emergence herbicide containing 2,4-D ethyl ester 38% EC. HPM’s sources disagree on several programmes, so only the matching maize and wheat quantities are shown as references; the affected uses are clearly flagged.
Composition: 2,4-D ethyl ester 38% EC, not amine salt 58% SL or sodium salt 80% WP.
Action: Disrupts growth in susceptible weeds by mimicking auxin.
Important check: Several HPM dose and target entries require exact current-pack confirmation.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌿Systemic movement: The active ingredient moves towards growing tissues after uptake.
- 🎯Post-emergence role: Intended for susceptible weeds at the crop and weed stage on the label.
- 🔬Defined chemistry: An HRAC Group 4 auxin-mimic herbicide.
- 🌾Separate crop references: Maize and wheat quantities are kept distinct rather than combined into one rate.
- 📋Visible safeguards: Conflicting programmes are flagged so they are not used as treatment instructions.
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand Name | HPM Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd. |
| Technical Name | 2,4-D ethyl ester 38% EC |
| Product Type | Herbicide |
| Formulation | Emulsifiable concentrate (EC) |
| Activity | Systemic post-emergence auxin-mimic activity |
| Mode-of-action Group | HRAC 4 |
How It Works: Mode of Action
2,4-D imitates the plant-growth signal auxin. Susceptible weeds lose normal control of growth and development.
- Foliage uptake: The ester formulation is absorbed through treated foliage.
- Movement to growing tissue: The active ingredient is transported towards active growth.
- Abnormal growth: Disrupted growth signalling interferes with normal weed function.
A selective-herbicide description is not a guarantee of crop safety. Crop stage, variety, dose and conditions matter; prevent drift to sensitive crops and follow a resistance-management programme.
Target Crops & Weeds
These are the crop and weed pairings in HPM’s product page and older manual. Flagged entries describe unresolved manufacturer listings, not instructions to treat those crops.
| Crop | Target Weed(s) |
|---|---|
| Sorghum: dose needs confirmation |
|
| Maize |
|
| Wheat |
|
| Sugarcane: dose needs confirmation |
|
| Transplanted paddy: use needs confirmation |
|
| Aquatic use: dose and site need confirmation |
|
Do not apply on a flagged programme until the exact supplied label resolves it. Paddy grass listings need particular confirmation because the same HPM description says 2,4-D has little effect on grasses.
Dosage & Application Guide
Maize and wheat rates agree across HPM’s product page and older manual. Other manufacturer entries conflict or need crop–weed confirmation and are withheld below. These references do not replace a current Heera-44 label.
Crop-specific product, water and harvest guidance
| Crop / target | Product quantity | Water quantity | PHI / waiting period | Method / notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maize | 1060 ml/acre* | 160–180 L* | Not supplied | See note* |
| Wheat | 528–880 ml/acre* | 180–200 L* | Not supplied | See note* |
| Sorghum* | Confirm* | 170 L* | Not supplied | See note* |
| Sugarcane* | Confirm* | 200 L* | Not supplied | See note* |
| Paddy* | Confirm* | Confirm* | Not supplied | See note* |
| Aquatic* | Confirm* | 280–400 L* | Check label* | See note* |
PHI is the minimum interval between the last treatment and harvest. A blank or unavailable figure is not a zero-day interval. Maize and wheat quantities are HPM references; confirm the current crop stage and label before use.
* HPM’s online page also contains a misplaced Heera Super 80% WP section. The identity here is independently confirmed as Heera-44 ethyl ester 38% EC; do not use another Heera formulation’s dose. Water figures are raw source litres, not verified litres per acre. Table rows for maize, wheat, sorghum and sugarcane correspond to their complete weed lists above. “Paddy” means transplanted paddy with the two HPM-listed Echinochloa grasses; it is not a confirmed grass-control programme. “Aquatic” means water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes).
No waiting period is established by the HPM rows. Exact timing, maximum treatments, repeat interval, rainfast time, mixtures, re-entry and water-use restrictions must come from the current pack. A generic 30–40-day timing statement is not applied to every crop. Sorghum and aquatic product rates are held because manufacturer figures conflict; sugarcane’s upper rate also conflicts. Obtain the exact current pack rate for these uses. For transplanted paddy, verify the exact crop–weed authorisation and water directions. Aquatic use also requires the exact label, site permission and water-use restrictions.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Check formulation and programme: Read Heera-44 ethyl ester 38% EC on the pack and confirm the exact crop–weed use.
- Resolve flagged entries first: Do not spray sorghum, sugarcane, paddy or aquatic sites using the unresolved website/manual programmes.
- Check stage and conditions: Follow crop and weed stage, soil-moisture and weather instructions on the current label.
- Prevent drift and contamination: Protect sensitive neighbouring crops and water; follow equipment-cleaning, harvest, grazing and site restrictions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Heera-44 the same as Heera-77 or Heera Super?No. These use different 2,4-D forms or strengths. Match the exact ethyl ester 38% EC pack.
Why are some dose rows withheld?HPM’s page, manual and presentation disagree on sorghum, sugarcane or aquatic rates. Paddy also has inconsistent water data and grass targets requiring label confirmation.
Does this guide recommend controlling paddy grasses?No. The HPM-listed grasses are visible for identification of the unresolved claim, but no operational paddy programme is recommended here.
Can I use one 300–600 ml/acre rate on all crops?No. A broad retailer rate is not a substitute for the exact current label. The manufacturer’s crop-specific references differ.
Can I spray any water body for water hyacinth?No. The exact label programme and local site permission must be confirmed, including restrictions on subsequent water use.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it, read the supplied label and leaflet. Match the crop, target, product dose, method, water volume and waiting period. The current pack directions and local restrictions take priority over this product overview. Kerala buyers: the state’s Farm Guide lists 2,4-D under the separate 2015 restrictions. Confirm current local permission before purchase or use.
Wear the protective equipment required on the label. Avoid skin and eye contact, breathing spray or dust, and contamination of food or feed. Keep children, other people and animals away during treatment and for the label’s re-entry period.
Keep the product in its original closed container away from food, feed, children and animals. Prevent spray drift, spills and washings from reaching water. Never reuse empty pesticide containers; follow the label and local disposal rules. Seek medical help promptly after exposure and show the label.
Delivery & returns

Safety tips
Read the label and leaflet before use. Wear gloves, a mask and full sleeves while spraying. Do not eat, drink or smoke while spraying. Keep away from children, food and animal feed.
