Explode
Description
Explode is a selective, post-emergence herbicide containing 2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL. It is highly effective in controlling broadleaf weeds across a wide range of crops, including wheat, maize, rice, sugarcane, and more. Its systemic action targets weeds by mimicking plant hormones, disrupting their normal growth processes, and resulting in their elimination. When applied as recommended, it is safe for the crop and supports healthier growth by eliminating unwanted weed competition.
