Dhanuka Sakura Quizalofop Ethyl 10% EC Herbicide:
Selective Grass Weed Control for Broadleaf Crops
Dhanuka Sakura is a highly effective post-emergence herbicide formulated with Quizalofop Ethyl 10% EC, specifically designed to control grassy weeds in broadleaf crops. It is rapidly absorbed by weed leaves and translocated to the growing points, where it stops fatty acid synthesis, ultimately killing the weed from within.
Sakura is widely trusted by farmers for its selective action that removes problematic grasses without harming crops such as soybean, groundnut, cotton, and pulses. Its systemic action ensures complete weed control including roots and rhizomes, helping crops grow without competition for nutrients, sunlight, and water.
Because of its targeted mode of action, Sakura is considered an important tool in integrated weed management programs and is especially effective against stubborn annual and perennial grassy weeds.
