Active Ingredient and Soluble Granule Convenience
The 100g sachet of Mera 71 contains high-concentration ammonium salt of Glyphosate in dry soluble granules.
The single-dose sachet is pre-measured for individual backpack spray tanks, eliminating messy liquid measuring and reducing operator chemical handling.
Upon spraying, it translocates through weed phloem down to root crowns and underground tubers, stopping the EPSP synthase enzyme.
- Formulation: 71 percent Soluble Granules (SG)
- Convenient packaging: 100g sachet matches standard knapsack spray tank calibration
- Complete weed kill: Translocates systemically to destroy underground root networks
Target Weeds and Authorized Use Settings
Mera 71 is formulated to control tough perennial grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds in non-crop areas and tea estates.
Because it has no soil residual activity, it leaves soil clean for subsequent field operations once weeds have desiccated.
- Perennial grasses: Controls Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon), Kans, and Imperata cylindrica
- Application timing: Spray when target weeds have lush green foliage and are actively photosynthesizing
- Regulatory scope: Registered for weed control in tea crops and non-cropped industrial areas under national guidelines
Spraying Instructions, Water Quality, and Safety
Dissolve the 100g granules completely in clean water within the spray tank under mild stirring.
Use clean pond or tap water free of muddy sediment to prevent chemical deactivation by suspended silt.
Applicators must employ low-pressure floodjet or flat fan nozzles equipped with protective drift hoods and wear full chemical protective gear.
- Water quality: Muddy water deactivates glyphosate; use clean water for mixing
- Drift avoidance: Never spray during windy conditions or allow mist to touch green bark or desirable crops
- Safety attire: Use face respirators, rubber gloves, and safety goggles during product mixing and application
