Description
What is KEEPER
KEEPER WP is a scientifically formulated herbicide designed to provide broad-spectrum weed control in sugarcane. Its triple combination of active ingredients—Amartryn, Carfentrazone, and MCPA—targets weeds through multiple modes of action to maximize crop protection and yield. Farmers in Pakistan rely on KEEPER for healthy, high-quality sugarcane production in Balochistan, KPK, Punjab, and Sindh.

- Trusted formula from Farmisto Chemicals Pvt Ltd
How It Works
KEEPER combines three active ingredients, each with a unique mode of action:
- Amartryn (Triazine, Group 5 – Photosystem II inhibitor): Stops photosynthesis in weeds, reducing their energy production.
- Carfentrazone (Triazolinone, Group 14 – PPO inhibitor): Disrupts cell membranes in weeds, causing rapid leaf burn.
- MCPA (Phenoxy, Group 4 – Synthetic auxin): Mimics natural plant hormones, causing uncontrolled growth in weeds, leading to death.
This combination ensures that weeds are attacked from multiple biochemical angles, making KEEPER highly effective against a wide range of weeds.
