HOTLINE 450 SC Herbicide | Broad-Spectrum Pre-Emergence Weed Control for Carrots, Onions & French Beans

Overview HOTLINE 450 SC is a premium pre-emergence and pre-transplant selective herbicide formulated for superior control of broadleaf weeds and grasses in key crops such as carrots, onions, baby corn, and French beans. Its active ingredient, Linuron 450g/L, ensures both foliar and residual activity, delivering long-lasting protection from weed competition. This product is trusted by professional growers for its efficiency, safety, and broad crop compatibility across Kenyan farms. Key Features & Benefits Selective Action: Targets weeds while preserving the health of carrots, onions, and French beans. Broad-Spectrum Control: Eliminates annual broadleaf and grassy weeds before they emerge. Residual Protection: Prevents weed regrowth by maintaining soil activity after application. Safe on Crops: Proven crop safety across multiple vegetables and cereals when applied as recommended. Efficient Formulation: Suspension Concentrate (SC) ensures easy mixing and uniform coverage. Enhanced Crop Yield: Reduces early weed pressure for better crop growth and nutrient uptake. Composition Formulation Type: Suspension Concentrate (SC) Active Ingredient: Linuron 450g/L Product Type: Selective Broad-Spectrum Pre-Emergence and Pre-Transplant Herbicide Available Packs: 50ml, 100ml, 250ml, 1L, 20L Mode of Action Linuron inhibits photosynthesis by blocking the action of photosystem II, disrupting the transfer of high-energy electrons needed for converting water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugars. This blockage causes weed desiccation and death shortly after germination. Foliar Activity: Absorbed through weed leaves to kill emerged seedlings. Residual Activity: Penetrates the soil to stop new weeds from sprouting. Dual Control: Prevents both existing and germinating weeds, ensuring complete coverage. Target Crops Carrots French Beans Onions Baby Corn Potatoes, Soybeans, Sweet Corn, and Maize (extended registrations) Target Weeds Annual broadleaf weeds Grassy weeds Perennial broadleaf weeds (with extended use) Application Recommendations General Guidelines Apply to a well-prepared, weed-free seedbed before weed emergence. Ensure soil is moist for optimal absorption and residual action. Use clean water and calibrated spraying equipment for even distribution. Crop-Specific Application Carrots – Pre-Emergence: Apply 1–2 days after sowing when the seed is at least 1.25 cm deep in fine soil. Carrots – Post-Emergence: Apply only after the 4-leaf stage; best results when weeds are under 50 mm tall. French Beans & Baby Corn – Pre-Emergence: Spray immediately or within one day after sowing. Seeds should be at least 2.5 cm deep and soil moist. Onions – Pre-Transplant: Apply one day before transplanting seedlings. Application Rate Apply at the rate of 1.0 L/ha (equivalent to 50ml in 20L of water) using 400L water per hectare. Why Choose HOTLINE 450 SC Provides both pre-emergence and pre-transplant protection.
