Why farmers choose itWhy Choose This Product? Key Benefits
  • ⏱️ Instant Solubility: No more stirring powders. This Soluble Liquid (SL) mixes instantly with water, saving you time and effort.
  • ?️ Low Volatility (Safer for Neighbors): Unlike Ester formulations, Twister does not turn into gas (vapor), reducing the risk of damaging nearby sensitive crops like vegetables.
  • ⏳ Hard Water Stable: Contains special sequestering agents that prevent the chemical from failing when mixed with salty or borewell water.
  • ?️ Systemic Root Kill: Absorbed by leaves and moves down to the roots, ensuring weeds don't grow back.
  • ? Broad Spectrum Action: Effective against tough weeds like Chenopodium (Bathua), Melilotus, and invasive Parthenium.

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Twister mimics the plant's natural growth hormone (Auxin). When sprayed, it causes a "hormonal overdose" in broadleaf weeds.

  1. Absorption: The liquid enters rapidly through leaves and roots, using water pathways.
  2. Translocation: It travels through the plant's system to the growing points (tips and roots).
  3. Disruption (Twisting): It triggers uncontrolled cell division. The weed's stems curl, twist (epinasty), and the vascular system is crushed, stopping food supply and killing the weed.

Note: Grass crops like Wheat and Maize can metabolize (digest) this chemical safely, which is why they are not harmed.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Overdosing can damage your crop.

How to applyDosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
CropDose (ml / Acre)Water (L / Acre)Dose (ml / Litre)PHI (Days)
Wheat350 - 500 ml150 - 200 L2.5 mlLabel*
Maize / Sorghum400 - 500 ml200 L2.5 mlLabel*
Sugarcane600 - 800 ml200 - 250 L3 - 4 mlLabel*

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: Check product label for specific harvest waiting periods. Generally, application is done early in the crop cycle (Vegetative stage).

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
  • Timing (Wheat): Apply strictly between 30 to 35 Days After Sowing (DAS). Applying too early or too late (jointing stage) can cause deformed ears.
  • Mixing: Always perform a small glass jar test if mixing with other herbicides. Twister mixes easily with water but may react with certain grass killers.
  • Coverage: Use Flat Fan or Flood Jet nozzles. Avoid fine mist nozzles to prevent drift onto neighboring crops.
  • Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not use on Cotton, Okra, or Tomato.
