Sumitomo Azadi Herbicide is a selective, post-emergent weed control solution formulated with Imazethapyr 10% SL. It effectively targets broadleaf weeds, sedges, and grasses in crops like soybean, groundnut, and pulses, ensuring better crop growth and higher yields.

Technical Content:

• Imazethapyr 10% SL

Mode of Action:

• Azadi inhibits the ALS (Acetolactate Synthase) enzyme in weeds, disrupting amino acid synthesis, thereby stopping weed growth. Its systemic action allows absorption through both leaves and roots, reaching growing points for complete weed suppression.
