How It Works: Mode of Action
The mixture combines inhibition of photosynthesis with synthetic-auxin effects on susceptible weeds.
- Identify the weeds: Match sugarcane and the weed spectrum to the current label.
- Two physiological effects: Metribuzin affects photosystem II; 2,4-D disrupts normal plant growth signalling.
- Weed growth is affected: The combination acts on susceptible weeds without implying safety to every nearby crop.
Use the stated mode-of-action group when planning resistance management. A different brand name does not necessarily mean a different mode of action.
Target Crops & Weeds
The crop scope below comes from the current manufacturer page. Specific target pairings are corroborated by the September 2025 CIBRC formulation reference, not presented as a newly retrieved complete brand label.
| Crop | Target Weed(s) |
|---|---|
| Sugarcane |

Use only crop and target combinations permitted by the current supplied label. Wider uses of the same active ingredient or other formulations are not automatically uses of this product.
Dosage & Application Guide
Historical formulation reference only: the table below is based on the September 2025 CIBRC major-use compilation. It is not a complete current Nakshtra label or an independent instruction to apply. Confirm every value against the supplied pack before use. The source water column has no explicit area basis, so no water recommendation or water-per-acre calculation is supplied.
Qualified formulation rates and waiting periods
| Crop / programme | Product / acre* | Water rate | Tank dose | Reference PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sugarcane | Current pack | Current pack | Not supplied | 308 days |
The historical sugarcane entry records a 308-day reference PHI. The product-rate unit and the water-area basis are not unambiguous, so neither a usable product-area quantity nor a water rate is supplied. The manufacturer’s 1250 g figure has no area denominator.
Product-acre quantities, where shown, are approximate arithmetic equivalents of the original hectare product rates. No water-area conversion is made. PHI means the time between the last treatment and harvest; missing information is not a zero-day assurance.
The manufacturer’s online quantity may omit an area denominator. Do not infer it. Confirm the current brand rate, water, application method, timing, repeat limits, re-entry, rainfast period and harvest directions. No per-litre or tank recipe is derived here.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm the crop and target: Identify the problem and match it to the current supplied label, not just the active ingredient.
- Use the complete pack directions: Check the crop-specific rate, water, equipment, timing and placement before measuring product.
- Do not assume a mixture is suitable: Use another product or adjuvant only when the relevant labels permit that combination. A jar test alone does not establish crop safety or permission.
- Prevent off-target exposure: Follow the label’s protective-equipment and drift precautions. Keep spray away from nearby sensitive crops and water; observe the required harvest interval.
