Product scienceHow Stroke Herbicide Works: Mode of Action

Stroke is an ALS Inhibitor. It works by stopping the internal food factory of the weed.

  1. Absorption: Upon spraying, the chemical is rapidly absorbed by the weed leaves and roots.
  2. Translocation: It moves through the plant to the growing tips and stops the ALS enzyme, which is needed to make essential proteins (amino acids).
  3. Elimination: Weed growth stops within 24 hours. Leaves turn yellow/purple in 3-5 days, and the weed dies completely in 14-21 days.

Note: Cotton plants have a natural enzyme system that digests this chemical, keeping the crop safe.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Do not under-dose.

How to applyDosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
CropDose (ml / Acre)Water (L / Acre)Dose (ml / Litre)PHI (Days)
Cotton250 - 300 ml200 L1.25 - 1.5 ml160

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Use the higher dose (300 ml) for heavy clay soils.

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices for Maximum Yield
  • Timing: Spray when weeds are at the 2 to 4 leaf stage (approx. 20-25 Days After Sowing). Spraying on large weeds is ineffective.
  • Mixing: Do NOT mix with Organophosphate insecticides (like Monocrotophos) as this will damage the crop. Maintain a 7-day gap between these sprays.
  • Coverage: Use Flat Fan or Flood Jet nozzles. Ensure adequate soil moisture (Wapsa condition) for best results.
  • Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid drift to neighboring sensitive crops.
