Product details
Turmoil Herbicide | Glufosinate Ammonium 13.5% SL
A non-selective post-emergence weedkiller. Crop protection and the exact directed application instructions are essential before use in tea or cotton.
What it controls: The manufacturer lists emerged weeds in tea and cotton; this is not a crop-safe broadcast treatment.
When to use it: The listed weed stage is 3–5 leaves, while weeds are actively growing.
What to include: The current label’s crop-protective method, target weeds and full dilution before choosing a numerical programme.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌿Works on emerged weeds: Post-emergence treatment addresses weeds already present above the soil, not an invented pre-emergence barrier.
- 🎯Defined tea and cotton targets: The target list is separated by crop. A weed appearing under tea is not automatically part of the cotton recommendation.
- 🍃Acts mainly on treated foliage: Contact activity with limited movement makes correct placement and coverage important.
- ⚙️Distinct weed-control mechanism: Glufosinate blocks an enzyme used in nitrogen processing. It is not glyphosate and its instructions should not be copied from glyphosate products.
- 🛡️Non-selectivity made clear: The same activity that damages weeds can damage desirable green plants. Protecting the crop is a central requirement, not an optional precaution.
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand Name | Turmoil Herbicide — Dhanuka Agritech Limited. |
| Technical Name | Glufosinate ammonium 13.5% SL. |
| HRAC MoA Code | Group 10: glutamine synthetase inhibition. |
| Chemical Group | Phosphinic-acid herbicide. |
| Formulation | SL: soluble concentrate; exact crop-protective application details must be taken from the supplied pack. |
| Toxicity Label | Use the hazard information and protective measures on the supplied pack; no toxicity colour band is assigned here. |
How It Works: Mode of Action
The manufacturer describes Turmoil as non-selective, mainly contact acting, with limited movement within treated leaves. Non-selective means it can injure desirable plants that receive the treatment.
- Treatment contacts weed foliage: The target is emerged weed growth. The exact crop-protective spray setup must be confirmed from the current label before applying in a standing crop.
- Nitrogen processing is disrupted: Glufosinate inhibits glutamine synthetase, an enzyme needed for normal nitrogen handling in plant cells.
- Treated tissue loses function: The disruption damages susceptible foliage. Limited movement means contact with weeds matters, but it does not justify contact with the crop.
Group 10 is different from glyphosate’s Group 9. Changing the active ingredient does not by itself establish a safe or effective programme; follow the actual label and integrated weed-management advice. No guaranteed control duration or root-kill claim is made.
Target Crops & Pests
These are the weed associations on Dhanuka’s exact-product page, not a complete application instruction.

The manufacturer also makes a general non-crop-area statement, but no site-specific non-crop application programme is provided here. No aquatic use is recommended.
Dosage & Application Guide
No numerical programme is supplied until the current exact-label method establishes how the standing crop must be protected. Do not interpret the target list as permission to broadcast spray over tea or cotton foliage.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tea | See note* | See note* | See note* | See note* |
| Cotton | See note* | See note* | See note* | See note* |
Dhanuka lists the 3–5-leaf weed stage for both tea and cotton. Weed stage alone does not establish the spray route, shielding method, dose or harvest interval for a safe complete treatment.
*The exact current Indian leaflet was not available. The page refers to a “protective spray” but does not establish sufficiently clear crop-protective application details. Numerical product and water recommendations are therefore withheld together rather than presented as a complete spray recipe.
A current label is also needed for crop-specific PHIs, re-entry, repeat treatments and any site restrictions. An unstated waiting period is not zero.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Read the crop-protection method first: Before use, obtain the current exact Turmoil label and the instructions for keeping spray off desirable plants. Do not treat generic sprayer advice as a substitute.
- Identify weeds and stage: Match the actual weed with the relevant crop list and verify the stated growth stage. Do not transfer the tea list to cotton.
- Prevent crop contact and drift: Keep treatment away from desirable green crop tissue and neighbouring plants. Use only the application arrangement the label permits; no unverified shield or nozzle specification is invented here.
- Calibrate after the programme is known: Once the complete label programme is established, measure the treated area and calibrate the equipment. Do not choose a rate from a different glufosinate brand or concentration.
- Record and observe restrictions: Keep records and follow the actual harvest, re-entry, weather, cleaning and disposal directions. Do not use the product in or around water without explicit current-label permission.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I spray Turmoil over the top of cotton?No over-the-crop broadcast programme is recommended here. Turmoil is non-selective, and the current label’s crop-protective application method must be established before use.
2. Is Turmoil the same as glyphosate?No. This product contains glufosinate ammonium 13.5% SL. Its active ingredient, mode of action and instructions differ from glyphosate products.
3. Why are the numerical rates withheld?A product rate without a clear crop-protective method could be misleading for a non-selective herbicide. The reviewed exact-product page does not provide the full application details, so this description does not turn it into an operational recipe.
4. Does it move throughout the weed like every systemic herbicide?The manufacturer describes mainly contact action with limited movement within treated leaves. Do not assume full movement into all underground parts or guaranteed prevention of regrowth.
5. Can I use it in any non-crop or aquatic site?No. A general non-crop statement does not establish a programme for a particular site, and no aquatic-use recommendation is supplied here. The exact label must authorize the use and conditions.
