HPM TARGET (Sulfosulfuron 75% WG) Herbicides

Target is a selective , early post emergence herbicide used for the effective control of halaris minorin Wheat crop.
It also control broad eaved weeds like Chenopodium album, Melilotus alba and other problematic weeds.
Absorbed through the root system and/or leaf surface and translocated to symplast and apoplast
It controls subsequent flushes of Phalaris minor.
Early control, check competition for nutrients, moisture etc.
Best results are obtained when it is sprayed after 1st irrigation when soil condition is fit for spraying condition.

Wheat
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the
second most important cereal crop of
India and plays a vital role in food and
nutritional security of the country.
Nearly 55 per cent of the world
population depends on wheat for
about 20 per cent of calories intake. It is
one of the major food grains of the
country and a staple food of the people
of North India, where people have
preference for chapatti. The diverse
environmental conditions and food
habits of people in India supports the
cultivation of three types of wheat
(bread, durum and dicoccum). Among
these, bread wheat is contributing
approximately 95 per cent to total
production while another 04 per cent
comes from durum wheat and close to
one per cent from Dicoccum. Wheat
crop in India is grown under six diverse
agro-climatic zones.
White Sweet Clover (Melilotus albus) is typically a biennial plant. This means it blooms in its second year and
then dies. White Sweet Clover is a threat to wheat crop. It degrades these areas by out-competing native
species. It is allelopathic, meaning the roots release chemicals into the soil which can prevent the growth of
native plants. Each individual plant can produce up to 350,000 seeds. Seeds can remain viable in the soil for up
to 80 years.
Dose : 13.3 gm/acre

Among monocot
weeds Phalaris minor
(gehunsa) is the
major weed in most of
the wheat fields.
In certain localities, the intensity of this weed is so high that it has become rather impossible to grow
wheat crops. This weed belongs to family gramineae. On an average, each plant of this weed
produces 10000 to 30000 seeds. It merges with the germination of wheat and resembles wheat
seedlings to a large extent. Therefore, it is very difficult to recognize this weed in its initial stage.
Dose : 13.3 gm/acre

Bathua is a fast-growing, upright, weedy annual species of goosefoot, very common
in temperate regions, growing almost everywhere in soils rich in nitrogen, especially
on wasteland. Its pollen can contribute to hayfever-like allergies. It tends to grow
upright at first, reaching heights of 30-80 cm, but typically becomes recumbent
after flowering (due to the weight of the foliage and seeds) unless supported by
other plants. The opposite leaves can be very varied in appearance. The first leaves,
near the base of the plant, are toothed and roughly diamond-shaped, 3-7 cm long
and 3-6 cm broad. The leaves on the upper part of the flowering stems are entire
and lanceolate-rhomboid, 1-5 cm long and 0.4-2 cm broad. The leaves are waxy-
coated, unwettable and mealy in appearance, with a whitish coat on the underside.
The tiny flowers are radially symmetrical and grow in small cymes on a dense
branched inflorescence 10-40 cm long. Bathua can be eaten as a vegetable, either
steamed in entirety, or the leaves cooked like spinach as a leaf vegetable.
