Hitweed herbicide can be used for cotton for controlling tough broad-leaved weeds through a selective and systemic mode of action.
The active ingredient of Hitweed herbicide, when comes in contact with the weeds, moves across the plant systemically and inhibits the production of amino acids and proteins, halting growth and development of broad-leaved weeds. This leads to death of the weeds.

• 1.25-1.5 ml/litre
