Dosage & Application Guide
These are exact-brand website references. Acre rates are reproduced directly, without conversion; follow the supplied current label for the complete programme.
Crop-Specific Dose, Water & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sugarcane | 600–1200 | 280–400 | Not given | 60 |
| Potato | 300 | 280–400 | Not given | 30 |
| Tomato | 300 | 280–400 | Not given | 30 |
| Soybean | 200–300 | 300–400 | Not given | 30 |
| Wheat | 100–120 | 200–300 | Not given | 120 |
Brand timing references: sugarcane at the weed’s 2–3-leaf stage, around 25–30 days after planting; potato 3–4 days after planting before emergence, or when potato plants are 5 cm tall; tomato one week before transplanting, or 15 days after transplanting. Confirm the supplied label before selecting either alternative.
Wheat: post-emergence at the weed’s 2–3-leaf stage, around 35 days after sowing. Soybean: pre-emergence 1–2 days after sowing. PHI is the minimum interval from the last application to harvest, not the application age of the crop.
No unverified per-litre or tank dose is supplied. Confirm equipment, application timing, repeat interval, maximum applications, re-entry, rainfast time and any crop-specific precautions on the supplied pack.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm the use: Identify the crop and target and match the supplied label before mixing.
- Match the crop and weed stage: Use the separate timing references above, not one universal post-emergence date. Check crop variety, soil and moisture conditions against the current label.
- Use an even herbicide spray: The brand specifies flood-jet or flat-fan nozzles. Calibrate to the crop’s water volume, prevent overlaps and drift, and do not assume tank-mix compatibility.
- Protect people and water: Follow PPE, drift, field-entry and harvest precautions. Prevent contamination of water bodies.
