Crop | Target Weeds | Dosage (720g/L SL) | Application Timing | Remarks |
---|---|---|---|---|
Wheat | Broadleaf weeds | 750-900 mL/ha | Tillering to pre-jointing stage | 1) REI: 12 hrs 2) Max 2 apps/season 3) PHI: 30 days |
Corn | Broadleaf weeds | 600-750 mL/ha | 3-5 leaf stage of corn | 1) Avoid spray drift 2) PHI: 14 days |
Rice | Broadleaf & sedge weeds | 750-900 mL/ha | 7-10 days after transplanting | 1) Maintain 3-5 cm water level 2) PHI: 21 days |
Sugarcane | Broadleaf weeds | 900-1200 mL/ha | Early weed growth (3-5 leaf stage) | Directed spray only |
Non-crop | Tough broadleaves | 1200-1800 mL/ha | Active weed growth phase | Avoid runoff to crops |
Mode of Action:
-Synthetic auxin disruptor absorbed through foliage/stems
-Causes uncontrolled cell division leading to vascular tissue collapse
-Systemic translocation via phloem/xylem
Benefits:
-Rapid symptomology (twisting within 3-5 days)
-Broad-spectrum control of 200+ broadleaf species
-Excellent rainfastness (6 hours)
-Tank-mixable with glyphosate for non-crop areas
Precautions:
-PPE Required: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile), coveralls, face shield
-Handling: Wash exposed skin immediately with soap/water
-Storage: Keep in original container at 5-30°C
-Spray Drift Mitigation: Use coarse spray (ASABE S572.1 nozzles)
Environmental Hazards:
-Aquatic Toxicity: LC50 10-100 ppm (toxic to fish/algae)
-Soil Persistence: Half-life 7-14 days (pH dependent)
-Runoff Advisory: Maintain 10m buffer zones near water bodies
-Bees: Relatively non-toxic (LD50 >11 μg/bee)
