Product details
Hitweed Herbicide by Godrej Agrovet
Pyrithiobac sodium 10% w/w EC for listed broadleaf weeds in cotton.
What it controls: Specified broadleaf weeds in cotton, not an all-grass treatment.
When to use it: Only after the supplied pack confirms crop stage, weed stage and spray route.
What to include: Paired product and water quantities, 160-day PHI and 24-hour re-entry.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ☁️Cotton-focused weed control: Selective broadleaf-weed control for cotton when used exactly as directed.
- 🌱Carpetweed control: The target list includes carpetweed, a competitor in cotton fields.
- 🍃Pigweed and goosefoot coverage: Both weed groups are included, so identification can be matched to the listed scope.
- 🌾Additional broadleaf targets: False amaranth and cockscomb are also included in the cotton target list.
- ☀️Less weed competition: Controlling the listed weeds helps reduce competition with cotton for space and light.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Pyrithiobac sodium is an HRAC Group 2 herbicide. It blocks an enzyme needed to make essential amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.
- Susceptible weeds are exposed: Correct application brings the herbicide into contact with the target weeds under the conditions stated on the supplied label.
- Protein building blocks are restricted: The active ingredient blocks the production of certain amino acids needed for new growth.
- Weed growth stops: Without those building blocks, susceptible weeds cannot develop normally and eventually die.
Rotate with suitable products from different mode-of-action groups within a crop-specific resistance-management programme. Changing trade names alone is not a rotation.

Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)

Acre figures are approximate conversions; the original hectare quantities remain shown.
Do not choose pre-emergence or post-emergence use from this table. Confirm the timing and route before applying.
*No separate per-litre rate is provided here. Do not calculate a tank concentration from the area dose. PHI means the minimum interval between the last treatment and harvest.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm timing and route: Read the current supplied label before use. The crop and weed stage and whether the spray is directed to foliage or soil must be resolved before application.
- Spray equipment: The leaflet specifies a high-volume sprayer or knapsack with a flat-fan or flood-jet nozzle. Equipment choice does not by itself establish the permitted spray route.
- Mix only after confirmation: Shake the bottle, measure the required quantity, mix with a little water, then add the remaining measured water with agitation.
- Weather and crop condition: Avoid rain, strong wind, hot sunny conditions and moisture-stressed crops. Prevent spray drift onto non-target areas.
- Repeat use: The leaflet specifies one application. Do not add repeat sprays or a tank-mix partner without current label directions.
- Re-entry and harvest: Allow 24 hours before re-entry and 160 days between application and harvest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which weeds does Hitweed target?The listed cotton weeds are carpetweed, goosefoot, false amaranth, pigweed and cockscomb. This is not a blanket claim for grasses or every weed.
Is Hitweed a pre-emergence or post-emergence treatment?Do not choose the stage from this description. Confirm the permitted crop stage, weed stage and spray route on the current supplied pack before application.
What are the cotton quantity and water figures?The reference is 625–750 ml/ha with 500 L/ha water, approximately 252.9–303.5 ml with 202.3 L per acre. These figures do not resolve the application-stage question.
Is Hitweed the same as Hitweed Maxx?No. Hitweed contains pyrithiobac sodium 10% EC. Hitweed Maxx is a different two-active MEC formulation; its target list and directions must not be substituted.
How long are the waiting periods?The leaflet gives 24 hours for re-entry and 160 days before harvest. Follow the supplied label and all local use restrictions.
