Nobiru Herbicide (2,4-D Amine Salt 58% SL)
The Low-Volatility Specialist for Tough Broadleaf Weed Control.
Nobiru by IFFCO-MC is a powerful, systemic post-emergence herbicide designed to eliminate stubborn broadleaf weeds in Wheat, Maize, Sugarcane, and Rice. Unlike older Ester formulations, Nobiru uses a Dimethylamine (DMA) Salt technology, making it highly soluble in water and significantly safer with lower vapor drift risks.
Best For: Farmers seeking a cost-effective, root-kill solution for weeds like Bathua, Wild Onion, and Morning Glory without the high volatility risks of traditional weedicides.
Why Choose Nobiru? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Systemic Root Kill: Absorbs through leaves and moves to the roots, destroying the weed's ability to grow back.
- ?️Low Volatility Safety: The Amine Salt formulation produces fewer fumes (vapors) than Ester types, reducing risk to nearby crops.
- ⏳High Compatibility: Mixes easily with water without needing agitation and is often compatible with Urea (Check tank mix rules).
- ?️100% Water Soluble: Forms a clear, true solution that does not clog nozzles or corrode spray equipment.
- ?Selective Action: Target specific broadleaf weeds while leaving grassy crops like Wheat and Maize unharmed when used at the right stage.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Nobiru mimics the natural plant growth hormone (Auxin). Because broadleaf weeds cannot metabolize this synthetic hormone, it causes a "growth overdose."
- Absorption: The liquid is absorbed through the leaves and stems of the weed.
- Translocation: It travels through the plant's veins (phloem) to the growing tips and roots.
- Termination: It triggers uncontrolled, chaotic cell division. Weeds will twist, curl (epinasty), and eventually die from starvation and vascular collapse.
Note: Visual symptoms like twisting stems appear quickly, but total death may take 1-2 weeks.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Wheat | Bathua (Chenopodium), Wild Onion/Piazi, Field Bindweed, Sweet Clover. |
| Maize & Sorghum | Trianthema (Carpet Weed), Pigweed (Amaranthus), Nut Sedge (Cyperus). |
| Sugarcane | Morning Glory (Creepers), Bindweed, Commelina, and various sedges. |
| Aquatic / Non-Crop | Water Hyacinth, Parthenium (Congress Grass), Lantana. |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Application timing is critical to prevent crop damage.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | Timing (Important) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat | 350 - 550 ml | 200 - 250 L | ~ 2.5 ml | 30-40 Days After Sowing (Tillering). Never at Boot leaf. |
| Maize | 350 - 600 ml | 150 - 200 L | ~ 3.0 ml | Post-emergence (3-5 leaf stage). Avoid applying on whorl. |
| Sugarcane | 1000 - 2500 ml | 200 - 300 L | ~ 6-8 ml | Post-emergence. Directed spray for creepers. |
| Aquatic Weeds | 350 - 1700 ml | 250 L | ~ 5-6 ml | Spray on foliage. Treat only 1/3rd of pond at a time. |
*PHI: Varies by crop. Ensure significant gap between spray and harvest (typically 30+ days for grains).
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply when weeds are young (2-4 leaf stage) and actively growing. Do not spray when weeds are drought-stressed.
- Mixing: This is a soluble liquid. Mix half the water, add the dose, and fill the rest. Compatible with Glyphosate for burndown.
- Coverage: Use Flat Fan or Flood Jet nozzles. Avoid fine mist nozzles to prevent drift.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, and specifically protective goggles). This product is corrosive to eyes.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use Nobiru near Cotton fields?
NO. Cotton is extremely sensitive to 2,4-D drift. Even invisible vapors can destroy a cotton crop miles away. Use extreme caution and observe wind direction.
2. What happens if I spray Wheat too late?
Spraying wheat after the "boot leaf" (jointing) stage can cause earhead deformities and reduce grain yield. Strictly follow the 30-40 day window.
3. Is it rainfast?
Nobiru generally requires 6 hours without rain to be fully absorbed by the weeds.
4. Can I mix it with Urea?
Yes, farmers often mix it with Urea for wheat. However, do not mix with Zinc or Iron sulfates as it may reduce efficacy.
5. Why does it smell like fish?
The characteristic "fishy" odor is normal for Amine formulations. It indicates the presence of the Dimethylamine salt.
