Overview
DICANE Herbicide is a Diuron 80% Wettable Powder (WP) formulation belonging to the substituted urea group of herbicides. It acts primarily through the soil and is absorbed by the roots of germinating weeds. Once absorbed, it blocks the photosynthetic process, preventing weed growth and leading to their gradual death.
Its long residual activity provides season-long weed control, reducing weed competition for nutrients, moisture, and sunlight. DICANE is suitable for use in crops such as sugarcane, cotton, banana, grapes, citrus, maize, and selected plantation crops when applied according to label recommendations.

About the Product
DICANE provides excellent weed control by preventing photosynthesis in susceptible weeds. It is absorbed mainly through weed roots and translocated into the leaves, where it interrupts electron transport in Photosystem II, eventually causing weed death.
The product offers prolonged residual activity, minimizing repeated herbicide applications and reducing labor costs. It performs best when adequate soil moisture is available after application.
