Sumitomo Excel Mera 71 Herbicide –
Powerful Systemic Weed Control with Glyphosate 71% SG
Excel Mera 71 is a high-performance systemic herbicide designed to control a wide range of annual and perennial weeds. Powered by Glyphosate 71% SG (Soluble Granule), it provides effective post-emergence weed control by moving through the plant system and destroying weeds from leaf to root.
Once absorbed through the foliage, the herbicide travels through the plant’s vascular system and blocks the EPSP enzyme responsible for amino acid synthesis, which ultimately stops plant growth and leads to complete weed death.
Excel Mera 71 is widely used in orchards, plantation crops, non-crop areas, and directed spray applications in field crops where it eliminates grasses, broadleaf weeds, and sedges. Its systemic action ensures long-lasting weed control while reducing regrowth and competition for nutrients, sunlight, and water.

Excel Mera 71 Features and Benefits
Complete Systemic Weed Control
The herbicide penetrates through leaves and moves throughout the weed plant, killing both shoots and roots.
Broad-Spectrum Weed Management
Effectively controls grasses, broadleaf weeds, and sedges in multiple cropping systems.
Root-Level Kill
Unlike contact herbicides, it destroys weeds completely, reducing chances of regrowth.
Efficient Nutrient Utilization
Removing weeds allows crops to use water, sunlight, and soil nutrients more efficiently.
Easy Application
Granular formulation dissolves easily in water and ensures uniform spraying.
Reliable Non-Selective Herbicide
Suitable for orchards, plantations, bunds, pathways, and non-cropped areas.
Mode of Action
Excel Mera 71 contains Glyphosate, a systemic herbicide that inhibits the EPSP synthase enzyme in the shikimic acid pathway. This pathway is essential for producing amino acids required for plant growth. When blocked, the plant cannot produce proteins and gradually dies within 7–14 days.
