How It Works: Mode of Action
Fomesafen inhibits protoporphyrinogen oxidase, while quizalofop ethyl inhibits acetyl-CoA carboxylase in susceptible grasses. These are different processes involved in weed survival and growth.
- Apply to young emerged weeds: The manufacturer specifies a 2–4-leaf weed stage.
- Disrupt cell protection: Fomesafen’s PPO inhibition can lead to damage in susceptible weed tissues.
- Interrupt grass growth: Quizalofop ethyl’s ACCase inhibition limits fatty-acid synthesis in susceptible grasses.
HRAC 14 and 1 are different modes of action, but the mixture does not remove resistance risk. Follow the current label and rotate effective modes of action as locally advised.
Target Crops & Weeds
The following crop and target pairings are listed by IFFCO. Keep each programme with its own crop.
| Crop | Target Weed(s) |
|---|---|
| Soybean |

Use only for the crop and target allowed by the supplied pack. General product descriptions do not authorise extra crop uses.
Dosage & Application Guide
The following are IFFCO’s crop-specific product rates. Follow the current pack if its directions differ.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soybean | 600 | Confirm | Not given | Confirm |
The 600 ml/acre rate is the direct IFFCO-MC brand rate. Water volume, individual weed pairings and harvest interval are not available in the checked manufacturer description.
Confirm missing water, adjuvant/mixture requirements, PHI, repeat limits, rainfast time and re-entry directions before applying. No universal per-litre or tank dose is inferred.
Confirm crop-stage timing, equipment, mixing sequence, repeat interval, maximum applications, rainfast time and re-entry directions on the supplied pack. Do not increase the rate or improvise a tank mix.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm soybean and weed identity: Use only the crop and weed claims on the supplied Shukaku pack.
- Match the stage: IFFCO describes post-emergence application when weeds have 2–4 leaves. Confirm the soybean growth stage separately.
- Use the complete label programme: Measure 600 ml/acre only with the specified water, equipment and mixing instructions. Do not infer a tank concentration.
- Manage resistance and drift: Follow application limits, rotational-crop restrictions and drift precautions. Two ingredients do not guarantee resistance-free control.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Shukaku contain?Fomesafen 12% plus quizalofop ethyl 3% SC.
Which crop is verified?Soybean. No other crop is added from a generic or competing-brand label.
What rate does the manufacturer give?600 ml/acre. The checked page does not provide water volume or PHI.
What does the 2–4-leaf timing describe?The weed stage. Confirm the crop-stage window and field conditions on the current label.
Can I assume all weeds will be controlled?No. The manufacturer uses a broad-spectrum description without an individual species list. Identify the weeds and confirm the pack’s claims.
