考虑到农民需要在正在进行的 Kharif 季节控制大豆和其他豆类作物中所有类型的杂草，领先的农用化学品公司 Insecticides (India) Ltd. (IIL) 宣布推出 Hachiman，一种新的芽后除草剂这将消灭阔叶杂草和窄叶杂草。 Hachiman 是日本 Nissan Chemical 的产品，由 IIL 作为其广受欢迎的 Tractor 品牌的产品在印度销售。
“Pulses are an important crop as they are one of the most common sources of dietary protein,” Rajesh Aggarwal, Managing Director, IIL. “Among the various biotic stresses to the pulse cultivation, weeds cause severe yield loss. Pulses grow slowly in the initial days when weeds grow faster than the crop and smother it.
“About 84% of the pulse cultivation area is rainfed where the crop is grown in Kharif season in combination with non-legume crops, forcing pulses to such biotic stresses. Weeds also serve as an alternate host to pests in the field and weed management in pulses is essential to improve crop yield and ensure India’s way to a food secure future. The dual action Hachiman is the latest product in our kitty which is again a product of Nissan, Japan. We are looking forward to good response from the farmers of states like MP, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana.”
IIL 高级副总裁 PC Pabbi 补充说：“Hachiman 已经过测试，对所有类型的豆类都是安全的，即使在阔叶杂草和禾本科杂草一起生长时也有效。该除草剂可向顶瓣和向基瓣移动并有效控制杂草。即使喷洒后两小时下雨，八幡仍将有效。该产品将随附一份详细的传单，其中包含使用当地语言的除草剂使用说明。”
