Katyayani Lemar is a premium, selective post-emergence herbicide designed for effective weed control in maize crops. Powered with Tembotrione 34.4% SC, it delivers fast and reliable action against a wide range of broadleaf and grassy weeds. Its advanced formulation ensures excellent crop safety, rainfastness, and higher yield potential for farmers.

Mode of Action

Katyayani Lemar works by inhibiting the HPPD enzyme (4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase), which is vital for carotenoid synthesis in weeds. This blockage leads to pigment depletion, chlorophyll bleaching, and ultimately weed death. The formulation allows for quick absorption and maintains effectiveness even under challenging conditions, such as rainfall.
