Verified scope: The manufacturer’s crop-and-target pairings are listed below.
Before use: Confirm the product rate, water volume, method and waiting period on the supplied label.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌽Maize programme: Mahindra lists a named maize weed spectrum.
- 🌾Cereal scope: Wheat and sorghum each have their own target list.
- 🎋Sugarcane programme: The manufacturer table includes a distinct sugarcane weed list.
- 🧪Amine formulation: Wave is 2,4-D amine salt 58% SL, not an ester or sodium-salt formulation.
- 🔄Group4 action: Synthetic-auxin activity distinguishes this herbicide from other mode-of-action groups.

How It Works: Mode of Action
2,4-D is a synthetic-auxin herbicide that disrupts normal growth signalling in susceptible weeds.
- Growth signalling: 2,4-D mimics the plant hormone auxin.
- Growth disruption: Sensitive weeds develop abnormal growth after exposure.
- Selectivity limits: Crop tolerance depends on the exact label, stage and application method; protect neighbouring sensitive plants.
Changing brand names does not necessarily change the mode of action. Follow a crop-specific resistance-management plan and all limits on repeat applications.
Target Crops & Weeds
Mahindra’s Wave recommendation table names the following crop-and-target pairings.
| Crop | Target Weed(s) |
|---|---|
| Maize |
|
| Wheat |
|
| Sorghum |
|
| Potato |
|
| Sugarcane |
|
| Aquatic-weed setting |
|
| Non-crop area |
|
These are the manufacturer table’s crop/site-and-weed pairings, not an assurance of unrestricted aquatic or non-crop use. Obtain the current approved site-specific label, local permissions and water-use safeguards before treating such settings.
Dosage & Application Guide
Check the current pack before measuring product. The public manufacturer table uses a combined g/ml dose header without identifying the product unit. Quantitative directions are withheld until that ambiguity is resolved.

The manufacturer’s product-dose heading is per hectare, not per acre. No operational dose or acre conversion is supplied from the ambiguous unit heading. The water column also needs its area basis confirmed on the pack.
PHI means the interval between the last application and harvest. An unverified waiting period does not mean zero days.
Confirm crop stage, equipment, repeat interval, maximum applications, re-entry and weather restrictions. No universal per-litre or tank recipe is inferred.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Match the target: Check the full Wave identity, crop and target against the supplied label.
- Measure correctly: Use the label’s explicit product unit and water volume; do not substitute a hectare quantity for an acre quantity.
- Prevent off-target injury: Confirm crop stage, spray method, equipment cleaning and drift controls on the current pack. Keep spray away from neighbouring sensitive crops; do not copy a different 2,4-D salt or ester programme.
- Protect people and water: Wear the specified protective equipment and prevent drift or runoff into water and neighbouring crops.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can another 2,4-D product replace Wave at the same rate?No. Wave is the 58% SL amine-salt product. Different salts, esters, strengths and concentration bases must not be interchanged by name.
Which crops are listed?The manufacturer crop-and-target table above gives the verified scope. Check the supplied pack before deciding whether the product fits your crop.
What is the dose per acre or per litre?The public table does not identify an unambiguous product unit. Obtain the complete label directions before measuring or converting a rate.
Can I mix it with another product?No tank-mixture approval is established here. Follow the current label and crop-specific advice.
Can I use it in water or a non-crop area?The public table names those settings, but this overview is not site permission. Obtain the current specific label and applicable environmental and water-use restrictions first.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the current pack label and leaflet. Match the crop, target, rate, method, water volume and waiting period to that label. This product overview is not a replacement for the approved directions.
Wear the protective clothing and equipment specified on the pack. Avoid breathing spray or dust and avoid skin and eye contact. Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling; wash after work.
Keep the product in its original closed container, away from children, animals, food and feed. Prevent drift, spills and washings from reaching water. Do not reuse empty containers. If exposure or illness occurs, seek medical help and show the label.
