Dhanuka Agritech launched herbicide - “SEMPRA” in Punjab. 33% of agricultural production damage is caused by weeds. This in turn damages food production worth almost Rs. 30,000 crore. In line with its aim of protecting the farmers and crops, Dhanuka Agritech has launched Sempra, a selective and systematic herbicide which comes with strong action and gets absorbed quickly for the control of Cyperus rotundus, increasing the yield of the crop to approximately 7 to 12 percent.

The product has been evaluated and recommended by universities including U. P. Council of Sugarcane Research, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Faizabad (UP), Vasantdada Sugar Institute (Maharashtra) R. G. Agarwal, Group Chairman, Dhanuka Agritech Limited said, “In agriculture sector, Sugarcane share is about 7% of total volume of agricultural output.
