HEERA Super(2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid80%)

Heera Super: A Powder Formulation That Enters the Weed Through Its Roots, Not Its Leaves One detail that often gets overlooked with 2,4-D products is that the compound's uptake pathway depends heavily on which salt or ester form it's formulated as. HPM Heera Super uses the sodium salt of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid at 80% concentration in a wettable powder — and salts of 2,4-D are specifically absorbed through plant roots, in contrast to ester formulations, which are taken up primarily through foliage. This distinction shapes how and where Heera Super actually needs to reach the weed to work. As a synthetic auxin belonging to the phenoxycarboxylic acid family, 2,4-D functions as a growth inhibitor rather than a direct toxin — it disrupts the plant's normal hormonal growth regulation, and this disruption is what ultimately kills susceptible broadleaf weeds while leaving grass-family crops largely unaffected.

Once absorbed, the herbicide translocates through the plant, accumulating at meristematic regions — the actively growing tips of shoots and roots — which is precisely where growth disruption does the most damage to weed development.
