2,4-D AGAN Herbicide: Powerful Post-Emergence Weed Control for Broadleaf Weeds
2,4-D AGAN is a highly effective post-emergence systemic herbicide containing 2,4-D Sodium Salt 80% WP. It is widely used for controlling stubborn broadleaf weeds in cereal crops, lawns, and non-crop areas. The herbicide mimics natural plant hormones and disrupts the growth process of susceptible weeds, causing uncontrolled growth that eventually kills them.
2,4-D AGAN is particularly useful in crops like wheat, maize, rice, and sugarcane, where broadleaf weeds compete aggressively with crops for nutrients, sunlight, and moisture. With its selective action, it eliminates weeds while allowing cereal crops to grow normally when applied at recommended stages.
This herbicide has been used globally for decades and remains one of the most reliable solutions for cost-effective weed management in large field crops.

2,4-D AGAN Features and Benefits
Selective Broadleaf Weed Control
Effectively controls a wide range of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds without harming cereal crops when used correctly.
Systemic Mode of Action
Absorbed through leaves and translocated throughout the plant, reaching roots and growing points to ensure complete weed kill.
Fast Visible Results
Weeds show symptoms such as twisting, curling, and abnormal growth within a few days after application.
Cost-Effective Weed Management
Provides excellent weed control at a low application cost, making it ideal for large acreage farming.
Improves Crop Yield
By eliminating nutrient competition from weeds, crops receive more nutrients, water, and sunlight.
Reliable and Proven Chemistry
2,4-D herbicides have been used worldwide for decades and remain a trusted solution for broadleaf weed management.
Mode of Action
2,4-D AGAN acts as a synthetic auxin (plant growth hormone mimic). Once absorbed by susceptible weeds, it causes uncontrolled cell division and abnormal growth, disrupting plant metabolism and eventually leading to the death of the weed.
Because cereal crops metabolize the compound differently, they tolerate the herbicide when applied at recommended doses.
Usage and Crop Recommendations
| Crop | Target Weeds | Dosage/ha | Dilution in Water (L/ha) | Waiting Period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat | Broadleaf weeds (Chenopodium, Mustard weeds) | 0.8 – 1.0 kg | 400 – 500 L | 30 Days |
| Rice (Transplanted) | Broadleaf weeds | 0.8 – 1.0 kg | 400 – 500 L | 30 Days |
| Maize | Broadleaf weeds | 0.8 – 1.0 kg | 400 – 500 L | 30 Days |
| Sugarcane | Broadleaf weeds | 1.0 kg | 500 L | 45 Days |
| Lawns / Non Crop Areas | Broadleaf weeds | 0.8 kg | 400 L | — |
Method of Application:
Foliar spray using knapsack sprayer or boom sprayer for uniform coverage.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply during the early growth stage of weeds (2-4 leaf stage) for maximum effectiveness.
Rain Fastness:
Rainfall within 4–6 hours after application may reduce effectiveness.
Safety and Handling
-
Wear gloves, mask, and protective clothing during spraying.
-
Avoid drift to sensitive crops like cotton, vegetables, and pulses as they are highly susceptible.
-
Do not spray during strong winds.
-
Store in a cool, dry place away from children and livestock.
