About ADAMA DEKEL HERBICIDE

• Dekel is a unique, strong contact and broad-spectrum herbicide for both grasses and broad-leaved weeds in the Onion crop.
• Dekel Herbicide provides long duration control of weeds.

Dekel Herbicide Technical Details

This dual action provides comprehensive and long-lasting weed control.
