Application Details

• Time of Application: It is most effective when applied as an Early Post-Emergence herbicide. The ideal time to spray is 15 to 25 days after sowing, when the weeds are in the active 2 to 4-leaf stage.
• General Dosage:
  • Per Acre: 400 ml to 600 ml.
  • Dilution: Mix the required dose in 150 to 200 liters of water per acre to ensure uniform coverage.
• Method: Spray using a knapsack sprayer fitted with a flat fan or flood jet nozzle. Ensure adequate soil moisture at the time of application for the best residual results.

Key Features & Benefits

• Dual Action: It controls existing weeds through contact action and prevents new weeds from germinating through its strong residual action in the soil.
• Long-Lasting Control: Keeps the field weed-free during the critical crop growth stages, leading to higher yields.
• Rainfastness: It is generally rain fast within a couple of hours after application (once the spray dries on the leaves).
• Crop Safety: Highly selective to target crops, meaning it kills the weeds without stunting or burning the main crop.

Precautions and Safety

• Phytotoxicity: Do not use on non-recommended crops (like cereals or vegetables) as it will cause severe crop damage. Wait for the recommended period before planting rotational crops that might be sensitive to Imazethapyr residues.
• Safety Gear: Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and a mask while mixing and spraying.
• Toxicity: It is generally categorized as a slightly toxic (Green/Blue triangle) herbicide, but it is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. Keep away from water bodies to prevent aquatic toxicity.
