- Bragger 28% EC is a selective contact herbicide for post-emergence control of broadleaf weeds in field crops. It contains bromoxynil octanoate 28% as an emulsifiable concentrate (EC). It acts quickly on growing weeds, directly affecting green tissue and stopping photosynthesis, so weeds wilt and die within a short time. Applied after weed emergence, it reduces competition for water, nutrients and light, improving crop growth and yield – an effective option in weed management programs for wheat, barley, maize and turf.
Key Features
- Selective herbicide specialized in broadleaf weed control.
- Contact action with fast, visible effect after spraying.
- Post-emergence use allows precise targeting of weeds in the field.
- Reduces weed competition and improves crop growth.
- EC formulation gives good spreading and effective leaf coverage.
- Suitable for integrated weed management programs, subject to tank-mix compatibility.
- Most effective on small, actively growing weeds.

Directions for Use
Wheat and barley
- For broadleaf weed control.
- Rate: 1.0–1.5 liters per hectare
- Spray volume: 200–400 liters of water
- Pre-harvest interval: 42 days
Maize and sorghum
- Apply after broadleaf weeds have emerged.
- Rate: 1.0–1.5 liters per hectare
- Spray volume: 200–400 liters of water
- Pre-harvest interval: 42 days
Turf and fallow land
- For growing broadleaf weeds.
- Rate: 1.0–1.5 liters per hectare
Precautions
- Use post-emergence only – as a contact herbicide it needs weed foliage to be present.
- Ensure good coverage of target weeds for best results.
- Spray when weeds are small and young; avoid large or woody weeds.
- Spray early morning or late afternoon to improve efficacy and reduce evaporation.
- Avoid spray drift onto sensitive neighboring crops.
- Wear personal protective equipment while mixing and spraying.
- Do not eat or drink during use; wash hands afterwards.
- Clean spray equipment thoroughly after use.
- Keep in the original container away from children and water sources.
- Dispose of empty containers safely and do not reuse them.
Orkida Tip
- Bragger performs best when sprayed early on small, actively growing weeds. As a contact herbicide it relies on the spray reaching the leaves directly – the better the coverage, the faster and stronger the control.
