Product Description
About Product
Weedblock by ADAMA is a selective, systemic post-emergence herbicide based on Imazethapyr 10% SL, designed to effectively control a wide spectrum of grassy and broadleaf weeds in soybean, groundnut, pulses, and other leguminous crops.
It is absorbed through both leaves and roots, providing long-lasting residual activity, and helps protect crops from early weed competition to boost yield and crop health.
