Strike Herbicide by Insecticides India Limited is a selective, systemic weed killer designed to protect crops like maize and sugarcane from a wide range of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. Formulated with atrazine 50 WP, it works as a pre-emergence and early post-emergence solution, delivering effective weed control through both root and foliar absorption.
Strike atrazine disrupts photosynthesis in susceptible plants, drying them out from the inside. It’s especially useful when applied soon after sowing or at the 2–3 leaf stage of weeds. The product offers long-lasting residual action, minimizing the need for repeat applications and aiding in resistance management. As a bonus, Strike IIL is compatible with most insecticides, making it a flexible option for integrated farm management.
Strike herbicide is also applied in non-crop areas for total weed elimination, especially against annual and perennial species. When used as directed, it’s safe for crops and the environment, provided drift into water bodies is avoided.
