STARTEK STAR 58 Herbicides

About Product

• Star 58 Super (2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL) and Star 58 are the selective, systemic weedicides of Phenoxyacetic group.

Technical Content

• 2,4-D Amine Salte 58% SL

Features

• Apart from effectively controlling broad leaf weeds, these also control the Cyperus sp.
• There is no adverse effect on crops with recommended dose of Star - 58.

Mode of Action

• Star 58 is used on a wide variety of terrestrial and aquatic broadleaf weeds.
• It has little effect on grasses.
• It appears to work by causing uncontrolled cell division in vascular tissue.
• Abnormal increases in cell wall plasticity, biosynthesis of proteins, and production of ethylene occur in plant tissues following exposure, and these processes are responsible for uncontrolled cell division.
• The ester forms of 2, 4-D penetrate foliage, whereas plant roots absorb the salt forms.
• 2, 4-D appears to be similar in action to other auxin-type herbicides.
• It is absorbed by the leaves and roots and translocated in to the weed plants.
