Dhanuka Unveils Tembotrax for Maize and Sugarcane
New Delhi, October 16, 2026: Dhanuka Agritech Limited, one of India’s leading agri-input
companies, has introduced Tembotrax, an early post-emergence herbicide containing
Tembotrione 34.4% SC, for weed management in maize and sugarcane cultivation across key
agricultural regions of India.
Tembotrax is a systemic HPPD-inhibiting herbicide that disrupts carotenoid biosynthesis,
causing visible bleaching of susceptible weeds while offering crop selectivity in maize and
sugarcane when used as recommended.
“Early-stage weed competition is a key challenge in maize and sugarcane cultivation, as it can
affect crop growth and farmers’ productivity. At Dhanuka, our focus is on providing solutions
that address the practical challenges faced by farmers in the field. Tembotrax helps control
weeds during the critical early stages of crop growth, supporting effective weed management and
helping farmers protect their crop potential,” said Mr. Rahul Dhanuka, Managing Director,
Dhanuka Agritech Limited, at the launch.”
Tembotrax offers broad-spectrum weed control against both narrow-leaf and broadleaf weeds
through a single spray application, helping farmers manage weed competition in maize and
sugarcane cultivation.
The launch of Tembotrax marks Dhanuka Agritech’s fourth major product launch this season,
following recent launches across fungicides and efficacy enhancer. These launches reflect the
diversity of Dhanuka’s crop protection portfolio and its continued focus on bringing a range of
solutions to address the evolving needs of Indian farmers.
