Tata Mark Herbicide (Diclosulam 84% WDG)

Description

Tata Mark Herbicide (Diclosulam 84% WDG) – Ultra-Low Dose Pre-Emergence Weed Control

Tata Mark is a highly potent, new-generation pre-emergence herbicide from Rallis India Limited (A TATA Enterprise). Engineered specifically for leguminous crops like Soybean and Groundnut, it specializes in taking out tough broad-leaf weeds that steal essential nutrients from your young plants. Thanks to its ultra-concentrated formula, a very small dose is all it takes to provide powerful, long-lasting residual control, giving your crops the absolute best weed-free start!

🔬 Technical Specifications

⚙️ How It Works (Mode of Action)

Tata Mark is a systemic soil herbicide that creates a highly active chemical barrier right at the soil surface:

• 🛑 ALS Inhibition (Starves the Weed): When weed seeds germinate, their emerging roots and shoots absorb the chemical. Diclosulam targets and inhibits the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme in the weed. This completely shuts down the production of essential branched-chain amino acids (valine, leucine, and isoleucine).

• ⚡ Instant Stoppage: Without these vital proteins, the weed's cell division stops immediately, causing it to die before it can even break through the soil surface.

✨ Key Features & Benefits

• ✅ Broad-Leaf Weed Specialist: Exceptionally effective against hard-to-control broad-leaf weeds like Commelina (Kena) and Digera (Kunjru) that commonly plague soybean fields.

• 🔬 Ultra-Low Dosage: With an extremely high 84% concentration, you only need about 12.4 grams per acre! This makes transport, storage, and handling incredibly easy compared to bulky liquid herbicides.

• 💧 Advanced WDG Formulation: The Water Dispersible Granules dissolve instantly and completely in water, leaving no sediment in the tank. It is totally dust-free, making it safer for the person mixing the spray.

• ⏳ Excellent Residual Protection: Binds well to the soil profile, providing extended protection and preventing new weed flushes during the most critical first 30 days of crop growth.

• 🌱 Supreme Crop Safety: Highly selective. It actively targets weeds while remaining completely safe for Soybean and Groundnut seeds, ensuring excellent germination.

📋 Recommended Crops, Target Weeds & Dosage

Standard Mixing Ratio: * Just 12.4 grams per Acre * Approx. 1 to 1.2 grams per standard 15-Liter Knapsack Sprayer

⚠️ STRICT TIMING WARNING: Tata Mark is a PRE-EMERGENCE herbicide. For maximum effectiveness, it must be sprayed uniformly over the soil within 0 to 3 days of sowing the crop seeds, strictly before the weeds emerge!

🚜 Application Guidelines

1. Pre-Mix Thoroughly: Because the dose is so small, dissolve the 12.4g packet completely in a small bucket of clean water first to create a uniform solution. Then, add this mixture to your main spray tank containing 150 to 200 liters of water.

2. Crucial Soil Moisture: Adequate soil moisture is required at the time of spraying for the herbicide to activate and form a protective shield.

3. Application Equipment: Use a knapsack sprayer fitted with a Flat Fan or Flood Jet nozzle.

4. Do Not Disturb Soil: Walk backward while spraying to avoid stepping on the treated soil, which breaks the chemical barrier. Do not perform intercultural operations (like hoeing) immediately after spraying.

🛡️ Safety Precautions

• Always wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including a mask, gloves, and boots while mixing and spraying.

• Avoid spraying during high wind conditions to prevent chemical drift onto non-target areas.

• Store securely in a cool, dry place, strictly out of the reach of children, pets, and livestock.
