Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action
Hakama works by inhibiting the ACCase enzyme, which is vital for lipid synthesis in grasses. Here is the step-by-step process:
- Absorption: Upon spraying, the active ingredient is rapidly absorbed by the weed leaves and de-esterified into acid form.
- Translocation: It travels through the plant system (phloem) down to the roots and growing points (meristems).
- Termination: It destroys the growing tissues. The weed turns purple/red, develops a "dead heart" (central leaf comes out easily), and dies completely in 14-21 days.
Note: While the weed may look green for a few days, it stops consuming water and nutrients immediately after application.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Do not cut corners on water volume.
How to applyDosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soybean | 300 - 400 ml | 150 - 200 L | 2 ml | 69+ |
| Cotton | 300 - 400 ml | 150 - 200 L | 2 ml | 94 |
| Onion | 300 - 400 ml | 150 - 200 L | 2 ml | 7 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Use 500-600ml/acre for perennial weeds like Doob grass.
Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply Early Post-Emergence, ideally 15–25 Days After Sowing (DAS) when weeds have 2-4 leaves.
- Mixing: Do NOT mix with broadleaf herbicides (like 2,4-D or Imazethapyr) in the same tank, as this reduces efficacy.
- Coverage: Use a Flat Fan Nozzle or Flood Jet nozzle to ensure uniform coating on weed leaves.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid drift into water bodies.

2. Is it compatible with insecticides?
Yes, it is physically compatible with many insecticides like Chlorantraniliprole (Coragen) and Pyrethroids. However, never mix it with alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture.
