Katyayani Katal (2,4-D Dimethyl Amine Salt 58% SL) is a selective, systemic post-emergence herbicide designed to control a wide range of broadleaf weeds in various crops. Belonging to the phenoxy acetic group, it is rapidly absorbed through the leaves and roots, translocating throughout the plant to inhibit growth. By mimicking the action of the plant growth hormone auxin, Katyayani Katal disrupts the normal growth processes of weeds, causing their eventual death. Its effectiveness extends to both annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, as well as Cyperus species, while being compatible with other commonly used chemicals.
