Dhanuka Agritech Ltd, an agri-input company, has introduced Tembotrax, an early post-emergence herbicide containing ‘Tembotrione 34.4% SC’, for weed management in maize and sugarcane cultivation across key agricultural regions of India.

A media statement said Tembotrax is a systemic HPPD-inhibiting herbicide that disrupts carotenoid biosynthesis, causing visible bleaching of susceptible weeds while offering crop selectivity in maize and sugarcane when used as recommended.

Tembotrax offers broad-spectrum weed control against both narrow-leaf and broadleaf weeds through a single spray application, helping farmers manage weed competition in maize and sugarcane cultivation, it said.

Key challenge

Quoting Rahul Dhanuka, Managing Director of Dhanuka Agritech Ltd, the statement said: “Early-stage weed competition is a key challenge in maize and sugarcane cultivation, as it can affect crop growth and farmers’ productivity. At Dhanuka, our focus is on providing solutions that address the practical challenges faced by farmers in the field. Tembotrax helps control weeds during the critical early stages of crop growth, supporting effective weed management and helping farmers protect their crop potential.”
