Killed 71 is a non-selective, systemic herbicide of Organophosphorus group. It works by inhibiting an essential plant enzyme called EPSPS (5-enolpyruvyl – shikimate -3 – phosphate synthase). Inhibition of this enzyme prevents the production of aromatic amino acids required for protein synthesis within the plant. Lack of the protein synthesis results the death of treated plants.
It is a post-emergence herbicide for the control of annual perennial, broadleaf and grassy weeds.
It is easily biodegradable & non-volatile in nature.
It is a systemic herbicide, kills the weeds by inhibiting the EPPS synthesis in weed plant.
Being a non-selective herbicide, it effectively kills all types of weeds.
It is widely used in non-crop areas, open fields, bunds and water channels.
It is also used in tea crop to control various weeds.
It is rapidly absorbed leaves and translocated to the root system/rhizomes of weed plants.
It kills the plant from the root within one to two weeks of its application.
It is also effective against the weeds which are difficult to control.
It is also effective to kill the aquatic weeds efficiently.
It does not have any residual effect on the germination of any crop grown after its application.
