Why farmers choose itWhy Choose Hit 44? Key Benefits
  • ⏱️ Superior Penetration Power: The Ethyl Ester formulation is "lipophilic" (oil-loving), allowing it to cut through the hard, waxy surface of mature weeds for faster action.
  • ?️ Rainfast & Rapid Absorption: Absorbs quickly into the leaf surface, reducing the risk of the chemical washing off during unpredictable rains.
  • ⏳ Systemic Action: It moves inside the plant from leaves to roots, destroying the weed's vascular system to prevent regrowth.
  • ?️ Versatile Weed Management: Proven efficacy against Bathua in wheat, broadleaves in maize/sugarcane, and invasive Water Hyacinth in water bodies.
  • ? Economical "Tractor Brand" Reliability: A high-quality product from IIL’s vertical manufacturing process, offering premium results at an affordable price.

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Hit 44 acts as a Synthetic Auxin Mimic. It tricks the weed into growing uncontrollably, leading to its own destruction.

  1. Rapid Uptake: The herbicide is sprayed on foliage and quickly absorbed through the leaves.
  2. Systemic Translocation: It travels via the phloem to the growing points (meristems) of the weed.
  3. Metabolic Disruption: It triggers chaotic cell division. The stem twists (epinasty), leaves curl, and the vascular system is crushed, blocking food and water transport until the weed dies.

Note: Cereal crops like Wheat and Maize can metabolize this chemical safely, making Hit 44 selective to them while killing weeds.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.

How to applyDosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
CropDose (ml / Acre)Water (L / Acre)Dose (ml / Litre)PHI (Days)
Wheat530 - 890 ml150 - 200 L3 - 4.5 ml-
Maize~1000 ml150 - 200 L5 - 6 ml50-60
Sugarcane1400 - 2100 ml200 L7 - 10 ml300+

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Dosages are calculated based on Hectare recommendations.

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
  • Timing (Wheat): Apply strictly between 30 to 40 Days After Sowing (DAS). Spraying too early can damage the young crop; spraying too late (jointing stage) causes earhead deformity.
  • Drift Management: 2,4-D Ester is volatile. DO NOT spray if sensitive crops like Cotton, Okra, Tomato, or Pulses are nearby. The vapor can travel and cause severe damage.
  • Mixing: Use clean water. In Maize, use Directed Spray (drop nozzles) to avoid filling the leaf whorl, which can cause "onion-leafing" or stem brittleness.
  • Safety: This product is moderately toxic. Always wear full PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). In case of ingestion, seek immediate medical help (gastric lavage/alkaline diuresis is standard treatment).
Use with careSafety & Disclaimer

Always read and follow the instructions on the official product label. The information provided here is for guidance only. Use personal protective equipment (PPE) during application. Do not use near sensitive broadleaf crops.
