Krishikranti SWEEP-58 2,4-D Dimethyl Amine Salt 58% SL is a selective, systemic post-emergence broadleaf weed killer used in wheat, paddy, maize, sugarcane, and non-cropped areas. As a synthetic auxin (HRAC Group 4), it is absorbed through weed leaves and kills broadleaf weeds within 10–14 days while keeping cereal crops safe. The amine salt form is less volatile than the ethyl ester, making it the safer choice near cotton, soybean, and vegetable fields.

Key Benefits of SWEEP-58 (2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL)

• Controls 20+ broadleaf weeds in cereals and sugarcane
• Low volatility  reduced vapor drift risk to nearby sensitive crops
• Safer for use in hot weather and near cotton, soybean, and vegetables
• Systemic  kills root and shoot, no regrowth
• Cost-effective at ~₹250–₹350 per acre
• Effective on Parthenium and water hyacinth in non-cropped areas

How SWEEP-58 Works

2,4-D Dimethyl Amine Salt mimics the natural plant hormone auxin, triggering uncontrolled cell growth in broadleaf weeds. The plant exhausts its energy reserves and dies within 10–14 days. Cereals tolerate it because they metabolize the molecule before damage occurs. Leaf absorption begins within 4–6 hours; visible symptoms appear in 3–7 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL used for?

2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL is used as a post-emergence selective herbicide to control broadleaf weeds in wheat, paddy, maize, sugarcane, and for managing Parthenium and water hyacinth in non-cropped and aquatic areas.

What is the dosage of 2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL?

The recommended dosage is 400–500 ml per acre (1.0–1.25 L per hectare) in 200 liters of water for wheat, paddy, and maize. For sugarcane use 600–800 ml per acre, and for non-cropped areas 800–1000 ml per acre.

Is 2,4-D Dimethyl Amine Salt 58% SL same as 2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL?

Yes. 2,4-D Dimethyl Amine Salt 58% SL is the full chemical name; 2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL is the common short form. Both refer to the same product and same molecule.

What is the difference between 2,4-D Amine Salt and 2,4-D Ethyl Ester?

The amine salt is less volatile and safer near sensitive crops like cotton, soybean, and vegetables. The ethyl ester is faster acting and works better in cool weather but has higher vapor drift risk. Choose amine salt for hot weather and mixed-crop regions; choose ester for tough weeds in winter wheat.

When should I spray 2,4-D Amine Salt in wheat?

Spray 25–35 days after sowing when broadleaf weeds are at the 2–4 leaf stage. Do not spray after the wheat crop reaches the booting or flowering stage.

Is 2,4-D Amine Salt safe for cotton and soybean?

No  never spray on or near cotton, soybean, vegetables, grapes, or chilli. Although less volatile than the ester form, spray drift can still cause damage. Always use a dedicated sprayer.

Can SWEEP-58 be tank-mixed with grass herbicides?

Yes. In wheat it pairs well with Clodinafop or Sulfosulfuron for combined broadleaf and grass control. In paddy it tank-mixes with Pyrazosulfuron-ethyl. Always do a jar compatibility test first.
