Topper 77 Herbicide – Superior Non-Selective Weed Control for Thriving Crop Yields
Effective weed management is essential for maximizing crop yields and ensuring the health and vitality of your agricultural produce. Topper 77 Herbicide, formulated with Glyphosate 71% SG, stands out as a powerful, non-selective systemic herbicide produced by Crystal Crop Protection. Trusted by millions of growers worldwide, Topper 77 offers comprehensive protection against a wide range of weed species, promoting healthier crops and higher productivity across various agricultural settings.
Why Choose Topper 77 Herbicide?
Advanced Organophosphorus Chemistry:
Topper 77 Herbicide leverages the efficacy of Glyphosate, a potent Organophosphorus herbicide renowned for its broad-spectrum activity. Glyphosate inhibits the synthesis of EPSP (5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate) in weed plants, effectively disrupting their growth and development. This advanced chemistry ensures thorough weed control, reducing competition for essential nutrients, water, and sunlight, thereby enhancing crop growth and yield.
Broad-Spectrum Efficacy:
Designed to manage a diverse array of weed species, Topper 77 Herbicide is highly effective against both annual and perennial weeds. Whether you're dealing with stubborn grasses in open fields, persistent weeds in bunds, or invasive aquatic weeds in water channels, Topper 77 ensures your crops remain protected from significant weed pressure and yield loss, promoting robust plant growth and healthy crop development.
Systemic and Non-Selective Action:
As a non-selective systemic herbicide, Topper 77 is absorbed rapidly by weed plants and translocated throughout their tissues, including the roots. This internal distribution ensures that all parts of the weed are effectively targeted and killed, providing complete eradication. Its non-selective nature makes it ideal for use in areas where complete weed eradication is necessary, such as plantation crops, water channels, bunds, and open fields.
Environmental Safety and Crop Compatibility:
Topper 77 Herbicide is designed to be environmentally safe. Paraquat, the active ingredient, is rapidly deactivated upon contact with soil by binding to soil particles, preventing any negative impact on groundwater or soil organisms even after repeated applications. Additionally, Topper 77 does not affect the germination of ensuing crops, allowing for seamless crop rotation and cultivation post-application.

Technical Details
Active Ingredient:
Glyphosate: 71% SG
Chemical Class:
Organophosphorus Herbicides
Mode of Entry:
Systemic: Absorbed by the plant and translocated to all parts, ensuring comprehensive protection.
Mode of Action:
Glyphosate acts by inhibiting the enzyme EPSP Synthase, which is essential for the synthesis of aromatic amino acids in plants. This inhibition disrupts vital biochemical pathways, leading to the cessation of growth and eventual death of the weed. Its systemic properties ensure thorough distribution within the plant, enhancing both contact and ingestion efficacy.Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) Classification:
Group 9: Glyphosate
Recommended Usage
Crops and Target Diseases:
Tea & On-Crop Areas:
Target Weeds: Wide variety of annual and perennial weeds, including aquatic weeds
Dosage: 1,200 gm/acre
Dilution in Water: As per application method
Waiting Period from Last Spray to Harvest: Not applicable
Method of Application
Foliar Spray:
Topper 77 Herbicide is best applied as a foliar spray to ensure thorough coverage and maximum efficacy.
Preparation:
Measure the recommended dosage of Topper 77 Herbicide based on the specific crop and target weed species.
Dilute the herbicide with the appropriate volume of water in a clean, calibrated sprayer to ensure uniform distribution. For example, mix 1,200 gm of Topper 77 with the recommended amount of water as per application method.
Application:
Spray the mixture evenly across the crop canopy, ensuring thorough coverage of both upper and lower leaf surfaces.
Apply during early morning or late evening to minimize evaporation and reduce the risk of spray drift.
Use a calibrated sprayer to achieve uniform coverage and maximize herbicide uptake by weeds.
Post-Application Care:
Monitor treated areas for weed emergence and assess the effectiveness of weed control.
Reapply if necessary, adhering to local guidelines and manufacturer’s instructions to maintain effective weed suppression.
Application Guidelines for Optimal Results
Uniform Coverage:
Ensure that the herbicide solution thoroughly covers all parts of the weeds, including stems and leaves, to maximize herbicide exposure and effectiveness.Timely Application:
Apply Topper 77 Herbicide during the 4-8 leaf stage post-emergence of crops to target weeds effectively before they become fully established and begin competing vigorously with the crop.Integrated Weed Management (IWM):
Incorporate Topper into your broader weed management strategy by combining it with other weed control methods such as crop rotation, mechanical weeding, and the use of resistant crop varieties. This integrated approach enhances overall weed control and reduces the risk of herbicide resistance development.Environmental Considerations:
Avoid application near water bodies to prevent runoff and potential environmental contamination.
Follow all local regulations and safety guidelines for pesticide use to ensure environmental safety.
Safety and Precautions
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Always wear appropriate PPE, including gloves, masks, goggles, and protective clothing, when handling and applying Topper 77 Herbicide to prevent accidental exposure.Storage and Handling:
Store Topper 77 Herbicide in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances. Keep containers tightly closed and clearly labeled to prevent accidental misuse.Environmental Safety:
Prevent contamination of water sources by avoiding application near water bodies.
Do not exceed recommended dosages to minimize environmental impact and reduce the risk of harm to non-target organisms.
First Aid Measures:
In case of accidental exposure, remove contaminated clothing and rinse affected areas with plenty of water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Additional Information
Pre-Application:
Read the label and leaflet thoroughly for detailed dose rates and application procedures.
Ensure all spray equipment is clean, calibrated, and functioning correctly to achieve accurate and safe application.
Use adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure safety during handling and application.
Post-Application:
Allow treated areas to dry completely before harvesting or performing any further crop management activities.
Label treated containers with dosage and treatment date for easy identification and proper tracking.
Transport treated materials responsibly to prevent spills and ensure seed integrity.
Clean all spray equipment separately to avoid cross-contamination and maintain equipment efficacy.
