NACL SMASH Herbicide is a powerful selective post-emergence weed control solution containing Imazethapyr 10% SL from the Imidazolinone group. It works effectively against both broad-leaved and grassy weeds in soybean and groundnut crops. SMASH acts through both contact and residual action, absorbed by roots and foliage. It inhibits the ALS enzyme, stopping protein synthesis and cell growth in weeds, ensuring superior crop protection and improved yield.
Technical Name:
SMASH is a herbicide of the Imidazolinone group used as an early post-emergence herbicide to control selective broad-leaved and grassy weeds in soybean and groundnut.
Mode of Action:
Smash belongs to Imidazolinone group of herbicides has both contact and residual action. It is absorbed by both roots and foliage. It inhibits the enzyme Acetolactate Synthase (ALS), which is Important for synthesis of protein within the plant. This leads to disruption of the DNA synthesis in susceptible plants. Lack of protein synthesis cell growth checked and ultimately plant dies.
Features & Benefits:
Selective herbicide for soybean and groundnut
Effective against broad-leaved and grassy weeds
Provides contact and residual action for long-lasting control
Inhibits ALS enzyme to stop protein synthesis in weeds
Ensures healthier crops and improved yields
