Tag Proxy is a patented, non-selective, post-emergent herbicide effective against all types of weeds
Tropical Agrosystem (India), a leading player in the crop protection and plant nutrition industry, has announced the nationwide launch of its revolutionary patented product — Tag Proxy, a powerful herbicide formulated to combat persistent weed problems while addressing one of the most critical issues facing Indian agriculture today: labour scarcity.
Tag Proxy, the non-selective, post-emergent herbicide, targets all weed types in a single application, delivering long-lasting control and reducing dependency on manual weeding. Easy to use and highly effective, it empowers Indian farmers to focus on boosting productivity while lowering operational burdens.
Weed infestations remain a serious challenge in Indian agriculture. A joint study by the Federation of Seed Industry of India (FSII) and the Directorate of Weed Research reports weed-related losses of 25–26% in Kharif crops and 18–25% in Rabi crops, resulting in an annual productivity loss of over Rs. 92,000 crore.
“At Tropical Agro, our mission is rooted in improving farmer welfare through innovation,” said V.K. Jhaver, Founder, Tropical Agro. “With Tag Proxy, we are filling a vital gap in India’s weed management landscape. This product not only enhances field efficiency but also addresses the growing issue of labour unavailability. We remain committed to rolling out more breakthrough solutions that strengthen India’s food security and support our farmers’ prosperity.”
