Anchor Herbicide by Insecticide India Limited (IIL) is a selective, systemic and contact herbicide formulated with metribuzin 70 WP. It provides effective pre- and early post-emergence control of broadleaf and grassy weeds across key crops like sugarcane, potato, tomato, soybean, and wheat.
Once applied, this metribuzin herbicide is absorbed through both roots and foliage. It acts by inhibiting photosystem II in the weed’s cells, disrupting photosynthesis and ultimately leading to plant death. Because it moves within the plant systemically, it provides long-lasting weed control.
Anchor is especially effective against difficult weeds such as Phalaris minor, Chenopodium album, Portulaca oleracea, and Parthenium species. With no residual effect in the soil, it supports healthy crop rotation and soil sustainability.
Its cost-effectiveness, flexible application, and broad-spectrum coverage make it a reliable solution for Indian farmers seeking modern crop protection tools.
