BACF Btrail is a combination of herbicide and surfactant, which is used to manage weeds. Imazethapyr 10% SL herbicide controls young grassy, broadleaf, and sedge weeds. The surfactant improves spray spreading and helps the herbicide stick and be absorbed better on weed surfaces.
Herbicide:
Btrail is a herbicide that contains Imazethapyr 10% SL, which helps control grassy and broadleaf weeds in soybean and groundnut crops. This herbicide translocates deeply into the roots of the plants and blocks Amino acids, which are essential for weed growth. This herbicide ensures complete weed control and promotes healthy growth.
Surfactant:
Btrail Surfactant is used with the herbicide to increase the efficacy of the product. This surfactant reduces the surface tension of the droplets and allows them to spread easily on the weeds. Surfactant herbicide automatically improves the absorption capacity of the plants and provides quick control over weeds.
