Description : TRICLOPYR BUTOXY ETHYL ESTER is a butyl cellosolve ester of triclopyr, selective systemic herbicide which is rapidly absorbed through the roots and foliage. It translocates throughout the plant, accumulating in meristematic tissues and inducing auxin type responses. It is used for the control of woody plants and broadleaf weeds in grassland, uncultivated land, industrial areas, plantation crops and rice fields.

Description : MEPIQUAT CHLORIDE is absorbed by the plant primarily through leaves and translocated throughout the plant. It inhibits the biosynthesis of gibberellic  acid, and leads to a deeper green leaf colouring after 3-6 days. It is used on cotton to reduce vegetative growth and to advance maturation of the bolls. It is also used in combination with ethephon to prevent lodging in cereal and flax.
