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.
- Absorption: The liquid enters rapidly through leaves and roots, using water pathways.
- Translocation: It travels through the plant's system to the growing points (tips and roots).
- 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)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat | 350 - 500 ml | 150 - 200 L | 2.5 ml | Label* |
| Maize / Sorghum | 400 - 500 ml | 200 L | 2.5 ml | Label* |
| Sugarcane | 600 - 800 ml | 200 - 250 L | 3 - 4 ml | Label* |
*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.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Twister (Amine Salt) better than 2,4-D Sodium Salt?
Yes. Twister (Amine) is a liquid that dissolves instantly without stirring and is stable in hard water. Sodium salt (powder) often struggles to dissolve and can clog nozzles.
2. Can I use Twister on my Cotton or Vegetable crop?
ABSOLUTELY NOT. Cotton, Tomato, Okra, and Grapes are extremely sensitive to Twister. Even a small drift can destroy these crops.
3. Is this product for "Twister Disease" in Onions?
No. This is a herbicide to kill weeds. The "Twister disease" in onions is a fungal infection. Spraying this herbicide on onions will kill the onion crop.
4. What is the right time to spray in Wheat?
The ideal window is 30-35 days after sowing (DAS), when the crop is in the tillering stage.
5. Can I mix Twister with Grass Killers (Clodinafop)?
It is generally safer to apply them separately (sequentially) 5-7 days apart. Mixing them in the same tank can sometimes reduce the effectiveness of the grass killer.
