Nakshtra Herbicide (Metribuzin 16.8% + 2,4-D Sodium Salt 56% WP)

The Ultimate Broad-Spectrum Weed Solution for Indian Sugarcane Farmers.

Nakshtra by Insecticides (India) Limited is a powerful, ready-to-use combination herbicide designed specifically for Sugarcane. It solves the labor shortage problem by replacing manual weeding with one effective spray. By combining two potent active ingredients, it targets and destroys tough grasses, broadleaf weeds, and stubborn sedges (like Motha) in a single application.

Don't let weeds steal your yield. Nakshtra ensures your crop gets all the nutrients, water, and sunlight it needs during the critical first 90 days of growth.

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Nakshtra uses a unique "Synergistic" approach, meaning the two chemicals work better together than alone.

  1. Photosynthetic Blockade (Metribuzin): It stops the weeds from converting sunlight into energy. This leads to starvation and yellowing of the leaves.
  2. Hormonal Disruption (2,4-D): It mimics plant growth hormones, causing the weeds to grow uncontrollably and twist (epinasty), crushing their own food transport channels.
  3. Enhanced Translocation: The 2,4-D helps move the Metribuzin deep into the roots and new growth, ensuring a complete kill of perennial weeds that usually grow back.

This multi-mode attack makes it very difficult for weeds to develop resistance compared to using single chemicals.

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 (g / Acre)Water (L / Acre)Dose (g / Litre)PHI (Days)
Sugarcane1250 g200 - 250 L5 - 6 gRefer to Label

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
  • Timing: Apply when weeds are actively growing, typically at the 2 to 4 leaf stage (Post-Emergence).
  • Mixing: This is a Wettable Powder (WP). Mix it with a small amount of water in a bucket first to form a "slurry" before adding it to your main tank.
  • Coverage: Use high water volume (200+ Liters). Moisture in the soil is critical for the herbicide to work effectively.
  • Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid drift to nearby cotton or vegetable crops.
