Adaca - Pyroxasulfone 85% w/w WG - ADAMA
Adaca | Pyroxasulfone 85% WG Herbicide
ADAMA Adaca contains pyroxasulfone 85% w/w WG, a selective systemic pre-emergence herbicide with a wheat
focus on little seed canary grass, Phalaris minor.
Wheat weed focus: Little seed canary grass, Phalaris minor, including the
resistant-population management use. Control of every resistant population is not guaranteed.
Timing distinction: Pre-emergence: not a general rescue treatment for large,
established weeds.
Other crop checks: Maize and soybean need their own crop-specific weed, soil, stage
and placement directions.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🌱 Early weed-management positioning: Targets
susceptible emerging weeds rather than waiting for an established weed stand.
-
🌾 Specific wheat grass-weed focus: Provides
a pre-emergence option for Phalaris minor, not a claim against every grass weed in wheat.
-
🍃 Root uptake and upward movement: Pyroxasulfone is absorbed mainly through roots and moves upward within susceptible plants.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Root uptake and movement: Pyroxasulfone is absorbed mainly by roots and moves upward in the xylem, the plant’s water-conducting
tissue.
-
Essential growth materials are restricted: It inhibits the production of very long-chain fatty acids, which are needed for normal
development.
-
Emerging shoots fail to grow normally: Growth at developing plant tips is disrupted, restricting shoot elongation and establishment
of susceptible weeds.
Pre-emergence activity does not set a universal day after sowing, soil-moisture rule or protection period.
Follow the crop’s complete directions. Account for Group 15 in weed-management planning; no single treatment guarantees control of
every resistant population.

not replace their own crop-specific approval and directions. Do not transfer the wheat treatment to paddy, another crop or an unlisted
weed.
Dosage & Application Guide
Pre-Emergence Timing, Soil & Placement Checks
Use Adaca only at the crop-specific pre-emergence window permitted on the pack. Establish the product amount,
water volume, application method, soil and moisture conditions, irrigation or rainfall restrictions, harvest interval and
following-crop requirements before treatment. The word pre-emergence does not itself prescribe a day after sowing.
WG describes granules designed to disperse in water, not permission to broadcast them dry. Do not substitute a
programme from another pyroxasulfone brand or foreign label. Keep the crop’s quantity, water, placement and timing together; no
per-litre recipe or fixed residual duration is supplied here.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Confirm the crop and weed: Identify Phalaris minor accurately in the wheat weed-management plan. Maize and soybean require their
own target and crop directions.
-
Use the correct application window: Apply only at the permitted pre-emergence timing. Do not convert this into a post-emergence
rescue treatment or assume any stage after sowing is acceptable.
-
Check field and soil conditions: Follow the current pack’s soil condition, moisture, placement, irrigation and rain restrictions.
Do not infer them from root uptake alone.
-
Prepare the correct formulation: Measure the commercial WG product and prepare it by its own mixing and agitation instructions. Do
not improvise dry broadcasting or a universal spray-pump concentration.
-
Protect nearby areas: Follow pack weather, drift, equipment-cleaning and non-target plant safeguards. Prevent contamination of
water, drains and neighbouring crops.
-
Plan later crops and mixtures: Record the treatment and follow harvest, re-entry, further-use and following-crop restrictions. Use
a mixture only when both current labels permit the proposed combination for the crop and use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does Adaca target in wheat?
Its wheat focus is little seed canary grass, Phalaris minor, including resistant-population management. Use
the current crop-stage and application directions; that positioning does not guarantee control of every resistant population.
2. Can it rescue a field with established weeds?
Do not treat it as a general post-emergence rescue herbicide. Adaca is positioned before weed emergence, at
the precise crop window and field conditions allowed on the pack.
3. What should maize and soybean growers check?
Confirm the specific weed in the crop checklist and obtain the complete current Adaca crop directions,
including stage, soil conditions, placement, quantity, water and harvest restrictions. Do not reuse the wheat programme
automatically.
4. Can I broadcast the granules dry?
Do not assume so. Adaca is a water-dispersible granular concentrate, not a GR ready-to-use dry granule.
Preparation, agitation and application must follow the current pack.
5. Does Group 15 mean a fixed protection period?
No. The group describes how pyroxasulfone affects susceptible weeds, not a guaranteed duration, safe
following-crop interval or permitted repeat. Use the crop-specific directions and resistance-management advice.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the current Indian Adaca label and leaflet before handling or use, including
crop and weed approval, soil and moisture conditions, stage, mixing, application, protective equipment, weather, re-entry,
harvest, following crops, first-aid, storage and disposal directions.
Wear the protective clothing and equipment required on the pack. Prevent skin, eye and mouth contact and
inhalation exposure, including dust, spray mist, fog or vapour as applicable. Do not mix with bare hands or eat, drink, smoke or
chew while handling or applying the product. Wash thoroughly afterwards and keep people and animals away from treatment as
directed.
Keep the product in its original labelled container, secured away from children, food and feed. Prevent
contamination of water, drains and non-target plants. Follow the pack’s equipment-cleaning and disposal directions; never reuse
empty pesticide containers. If exposure or illness occurs, stop work and seek medical help promptly with the product label. Follow
professional medical advice rather than attempting an improvised antidote.
