Product details
Shaked Herbicide | Propaquizafop 2.5% + Imazethapyr 3.75% w/w ME
An early post-emergence combination for listed grassy and broad-leaved weeds in four
crops.
When to apply: At the 2–4-leaf stage of weeds, with adequate moisture in the
soil.
Weed focus: Listed grassy and broad-leaved weeds, matched to black gram, cluster
bean, groundnut or soybean.
Formulation: A micro-emulsion with an inbuilt adjuvant; do not automatically add
another wetter or oil.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🌱 Early weed control: The specified 2–4-leaf
window helps place the treatment while weeds are small, instead of assuming the same directions suit mature weeds.
-
🌾 Grassy and broad-leaved weed activity: The
combination addresses listed weeds from both groups in the permitted crop uses.
-
🧪 Built-in adjuvant: The formulation already
includes an adjuvant for application convenience. Extra additives still need permission from both current product labels.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Propaquizafop blocks fatty-acid production: The Group 1 ingredient inhibits acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), a step needed to make
fatty acids in susceptible grasses.
-
Imazethapyr blocks an amino-acid pathway: The Group 2 ingredient inhibits acetolactate synthase (ALS), limiting production of
branched-chain amino acids needed for growth.
-
Interrupted biosynthesis restricts weed growth: Disruption of these growth processes contributes to control of susceptible weeds.
Weed species, stage, moisture and application quality still affect results.
Two modes of action do not guarantee control of every weed or a resistant population. Account for both Groups 1
and 2, use label-permitted alternatives and other suitable weed-management practices, and do not repeat solely because symptoms are
not immediate.
Crop & Weed Matches
| Crop |
Target weeds |
|---|---|
| Black gram |
Listed grasses and broad-leaved weeds; examples include Digitaria sanguinalis, Commelina benghalensis and Euphorbia hirta |
| Cluster bean |
Listed grasses and broad-leaved weeds; examples include Digitaria sanguinalis, Commelina benghalensis and Amaranthus
viridis |
| Groundnut |
Listed grasses and broad-leaved weeds; examples include Echinochloa colona, Digitaria sanguinalis, Commelina benghalensis and
Digera arvensis |
| Soybean |
Listed grasses and broad-leaved weeds; examples include Dactyloctenium aegyptium, Eleusine indica, Digitaria sanguinalis and
Amaranthus viridis |
These examples are crop-specific, not a promise of control of all weeds in those crops. Confirm the weed
identity and exact permitted use on the supplied Indian Shaked label. Do not extend the crop list.
Dosage & Application Guide
Match the weed stage, moisture and complete crop directions
Apply at the 2–4-leaf stage of weeds with adequate soil moisture. For these listed crop uses, the water
reference is 500 L/ha, approximately 202.34 L/acre. This is a separate water-planning reference, not a product dose or complete spray
recipe. Confirm the product amount, application method, equipment and harvest restrictions together before mixing.
Do not infer a universal pump quantity, pre-emergence use or an application date counted from sowing from the
weed-leaf stage. Do not add a separate adjuvant automatically. A pre-harvest interval is the minimum time from the final treatment to
harvest. A missing interval is not a zero-day interval. Harvest restrictions, worker re-entry periods and repeat-treatment intervals
are separate requirements.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Identify crop and weeds: Check the crop and actual weed species. Grassy and broad-leaved activity does not mean every difficult
weed is covered.
-
Check the weed leaves: Use the 2–4-leaf weed stage, not the number of crop leaves, and confirm adequate soil moisture.
-
Complete the application plan: Establish the crop rate, permitted method, equipment and harvest restriction; water volume alone
does not supply those missing directions.
-
Handle additives carefully: The product has an inbuilt adjuvant. Add another product only if both current labels permit that
combination and use.
-
Protect neighbouring areas: Follow weather precautions, prevent drift and runoff onto neighbouring crops and water sources, and
clean equipment according to the label before another use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does 2–4 leaves refer to the crop or the weeds?
It refers to the weeds. The guidance also requires adequate soil moisture.
2. Is this a pre-emergence treatment?
The described use is early post-emergence. Do not turn the weed-leaf stage into permission to apply before
weeds emerge.
3. Should I add extra surfactant or oil?
Not automatically. Shaked already has an inbuilt adjuvant. An additional product requires permission from
both current labels for the crop and method.
4. Does 500 L/ha tell me how much product goes in a pump?
No. It is a water-planning reference, approximately 202.34 L/acre. The correct product amount still depends
on the permitted crop rate, method and calibrated treated area.
5. Can I mix it with another herbicide or nutrient?
Only when both current product labels permit the proposed combination for the crop and application method.
Physical mixability does not establish crop safety or permission to add another pesticide, fertilizer or adjuvant.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the supplied Indian label and leaflet before opening the pack. Use only its
permitted crop, target and application method. Wear the specified protective clothing and equipment. Avoid skin and eye contact,
inhalation and drift. Keep children, unprotected people and animals away during handling and application. Do not eat, drink or
smoke while handling or applying the product. Wash thoroughly after work. Follow the supplied Indian pack’s hazard classification
and handling restrictions, and observe all applicable harvest, worker re-entry and repeat-treatment restrictions before the next
operation.
Store securely in the original labelled container, away from children, food, animal feed and water. Keep
product, drift, runoff, leftovers and equipment washings out of water sources and away from non-target areas. Follow the pack’s
weather precautions, equipment-cleaning instructions, beneficial-organism precautions and disposal directions. Never reuse empty
pesticide containers.
If accidental exposure or suspected poisoning occurs, stop work and seek medical help promptly with the
product pack or label. Do not self-administer antidotes, attempt home remedies or improvise treatment. Follow the supplied
