IFFCO Ichigo Herbicide (Imazethapyr 10% SL): The Expert Solution for Pulses & Oilseeds

Stop losing yield to aggressive weeds. Ichigo is your advanced systemic solution for controlling grasses, broad-leaved weeds, and tough sedges in Soybean and Groundnut fields.

Manual weeding is expensive and labor is hard to find. Ichigo (Imazethapyr 10% SL) by IFFCO-MC offers a smart, cost-effective alternative. It enters the plant system to kill weeds from the roots, ensuring they don't grow back. Designed specifically for leguminous crops, it clears the field during the critical first 45 days, allowing your crop to thrive without competition.

Best for: Farmers looking to save 60-80% on weeding costs while effectively managing "Motha" (Sedge) and "Sama" (Grass).

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Ichigo works by inhibiting the Acetolactate Synthase (ALS) enzyme, which plants need to create essential amino acids (Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine). Without these proteins, the weed cannot grow.

  1. Absorption: Upon spraying, the herbicide is absorbed by both the roots and leaves of the weed.
  2. Translocation: It moves through the plant to the growing tips (meristems).
  3. Termination: Growth stops within days. Weeds turn yellow (chlorosis) and then brown (necrosis), eventually dying completely in 14-21 days.

Note on Water Quality: Imazethapyr works best in soft water. If using hard water (high $Ca^{2+}$ or $Mg^{2+}$), add Ammonium Sulfate ($(NH_4)_2SO_4$) to prevent the herbicide from locking up.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Do not under-dose or cut corners on water volume.

How to applyDosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
CropDose (ml / Acre)Water (L / Acre)Dose (ml / Litre)PHI (Days)
Soybean300 - 400 ml200 - 240 L1.5 - 2 ml75
Groundnut400 - 600 ml200 - 280 L2 - 2.5 ml90
Pulses250 - 300 ml200 L1.25 - 1.5 ml50

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
  • Timing: Spray strictly at the 2 to 4 leaf stage of the weeds (typically 10-14 days after sowing). Spraying too late will result in poor control.
  • Mixing: Shake the bottle well. Always use a surfactant (sticking agent) to ensure the chemical spreads on waxy weed leaves. If water is hard, mix Ammonium Sulfate first.
  • Coverage: Use Flat Fan or Flood Jet nozzles. Ensure the soil moisture is adequate at the time of spraying to activate the residual root action.
  • Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid drift to nearby non-legume crops.
