Adama TAMAR Herbicide:
Powerful Early-Stage Weed Control for Sugarcane
Adama TAMAR Herbicide is a selective early post-emergence herbicide designed to control both grassy and broad-leaf weeds in sugarcane fields. Formulated with Ametryn 80% WDG, it belongs to the s-triazine chemical group, which works by disrupting photosynthesis in weeds, gradually starving them of energy and causing their death.
TAMAR provides dual activity through foliar and soil action, allowing it to kill existing weeds while also preventing new weed seedlings from emerging. This long-lasting residual control protects sugarcane during its critical early growth stages when weed competition can significantly reduce tiller development and yield potential.
Because of its broad-spectrum activity and long residual effect, TAMAR is widely used by sugarcane farmers for early weed management and is compatible with tank mixes such as 2,4-D for improved weed control programs.

TAMAR Herbicide Features and Benefits
Selective Weed Control
Targets weeds without harming the crop when applied at the recommended stage.
Broad Spectrum Activity
Controls both grassy weeds and broad-leaf weeds, which commonly compete with sugarcane in early growth stages.
Dual Mode Activity (Soil + Foliar)
Acts through leaf absorption as well as soil residual activity, eliminating existing weeds and suppressing new germination.
Long Residual Weed Protection
Provides longer duration weed control, reducing the need for repeated herbicide applications.
Protects Early Sugarcane Growth
Prevents weed competition during the early tillering stage, helping the crop establish faster and produce stronger tillers.
Compatible with Tank Mixes
Can be mixed with 2,4-D herbicide for enhanced control of difficult broadleaf weeds.
Mode of Action
Ametryn belongs to the Photosystem II inhibitor herbicide group, which blocks electron transport during photosynthesis in weeds. Without energy production, weeds gradually wilt and die. This mechanism ensures systemic suppression and long-lasting residual weed control in the soil.
Usage and Crop Recommendations
| Crop | Target Weeds | Dosage / ha | Dilution in Water (L/ha) | Waiting Period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sugarcane | Digitaria sanguinalis, Cynodon dactylon, Dactyloctenium aegyptium, Trianthema monogyna, Ageratum conyzoides | 2.5 kg | 500 L | As per label |
Best Time of Application
Application Stage: Apply when weeds are in the 2–4 leaf stage for maximum effectiveness.
Application Method: Foliar spray using knapsack sprayer with flat-fan nozzle.
Weed Control Window: Early crop stage when sugarcane growth is slow and weeds compete aggressively.
