Defeat – Sulfosulfuron 75% WG Herbicide

Defeat (Sulfosulfuron 75% WG) is a highly effective, selective, post-emergence herbicide designed for the control of a wide range of grassy and broadleaf weeds in wheat crops. It is rapidly absorbed by the foliage and roots, inhibiting weed growth by blocking essential amino acid synthesis, leading to complete weed control.

Its water-dispersible granule (WG) formulation ensures easy mixing, uniform spray, and excellent field performance.
