New herbicide targets narrow-leaf and broadleaf weeds, helping farmers manage early-season weed competition
New Delhi : Dhanuka Agritech Limited, one of India’s leading agri-input companies, has introduced Tembotrax, an early post-emergence herbicide containing Tembotrione 34.4% SC, for weed management in maize and sugarcane across key agricultural regions of India.
Tembotrax is a systemic herbicide that inhibits the HPPD enzyme, disrupting carotenoid biosynthesis in susceptible weeds. This results in visible bleaching of weeds while offering crop selectivity in maize and sugarcane when used as recommended.
“Early-stage weed competition is a key challenge in maize and sugarcane cultivation, as it can affect crop growth and farmers’ productivity. At Dhanuka, our focus is on providing solutions that address the practical challenges faced by farmers in the field. Tembotrax helps control weeds during the critical early stages of crop growth, supporting effective weed management and helping farmers protect their crop potential,” said Rahul Dhanuka, Managing Director, Dhanuka Agritech Limited, at the launch.
The product is designed to provide broad-spectrum control of both narrow-leaf and broadleaf weeds through a single spray application, helping farmers manage weed competition during the early stages of crop development.
The launch marks Dhanuka Agritech’s fourth major product introduction this season, following recent launches in fungicides and efficacy enhancers. These additions reflect the diversity of the company’s crop protection portfolio and its continued focus on developing solutions to address the evolving needs of Indian farmers. With Tembotrax, Dhanuka Agritech aims to strengthen its weed management offerings for maize and sugarcane growers across the country.
