How It Works: Mode of Action
-
The soil surface receives the treatment: The diluted herbicide is distributed uniformly over the soil. Its contact action takes
place as susceptible weeds emerge.
-
PPO activity is inhibited: Oxadiargyl inhibits protoporphyrinogen oxidase, an enzyme in the plantβs pigment-producing pathway.
-
Susceptible weed tissue is damaged: Disruption of this pathway causes light-driven damage to plant-cell membranes and injury to
susceptible weed tissue.
Group 14 identifies a biological mechanism, not guaranteed control of every weed or resistant population. Do
not extend this cumin use to another crop or assume that a different oxadiargyl formulation has the same quantity, timing or
placement.
Target Crops & Weeds

Target weeds |
|---|---|
| Cumin |
Chenopodium album; Rumex species; Melilotus indica; Asphodelus tenuifolius |
Rumex is a genus-level entry rather than a named individual species or a promise to control every dock.
Identify the weed before treatment and keep this recommendation limited to the stated cumin use.

87 days from application to harvest |
Keep the product range, water volume, soil placement, crop stage and harvest interval together. Select within
the range using the supplied Rafaz directions. These are per-acre quantities, not a universal tank recipe. The harvest interval is
separate from worker re-entry restrictions; no automatic repeat schedule is established here.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Check crop and weed identity: Use for the stated cumin weed programme. Do not transfer a treatment from rice, groundnut or another
oxadiargyl formulation.
-
Plan the first application and harvest: Use the 14β18-day window after sowing and allow the full 87-day interval before
harvest.
-
Check moisture and wind: Apply with proper soil moisture. Do not spray against the wind or in conditions that cause drift onto
neighbouring crops.
-
Measure product, water and treated area: Pair 400β500 ml of product with 200 L of water for each acre treated. Measure the actual
area and calibrate the equipment rather than relying on tank count alone.
-
Mix using a stick or rod: First mix the herbicide in a small quantity of water, then add the remaining water and mix well. Do not
use bare hands.
-
Cover soil and clean equipment: Spray uniformly over the soil without gaps. After work, clean the sprayer thoroughly with water and
manage washings according to pack requirements without contaminating water sources.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which crop and weeds are covered?
The stated crop is cumin, with Chenopodium album, Rumex species, Melilotus indica and Asphodelus
tenuifolius. This is not a general recommendation for all weeds or all crops.
2. When should I apply Rafaz in cumin?
At 14β18 days after sowing, with proper soil moisture. Do not replace this product-specific window with a
generic pre-emergence schedule from another product or formulation.
3. How much product and water are needed per acre?
Use the paired programme of 400β500 ml product and 200 L water per acre. Select within the range using the
supplied pack directions, and measure the actual treated area.
4. Is it sprayed on crop foliage or soil?
The directions call for a uniform soil spray without untreated gaps. Mix with a stick or rod, not bare
hands, and use the equipment instructions supplied with the product.
5. Does this mean nearby and following crops are always safe?
No. Prevent drift and follow the actual neighbouring-crop, re-entry and crop-rotation restrictions.
Crop-specific use does not establish universal safety for other plants or the environment.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the current Rafaz label and leaflet before use. Follow the crop, weed,
quantity, water, soil-placement, timing, harvest, re-entry, protective-equipment, storage and disposal requirements. Observe the
full 87-day harvest interval.
Wear the specified protective equipment and avoid contact with the mouth, eyes and skin or breathing spray.
Do not mix with bare hands, spray against the wind or allow drift onto unintended crops. Do not eat, drink or smoke while
handling, and wash thoroughly after work.
Keep the product in its original container away from children, animals, food, feed and fire. Prevent water
contamination, including during sprayer cleaning and disposal of washings. Seek medical help after exposure or illness and take
the pack or label. Use a proposed mixture only when both current product labels permit it for the crop.
