Product details
Upturn Herbicide | Fomesafen 16.8% + Propaquizafop 5.2% ME
A manufactured post-emergence herbicide mixture for matched crop–weed situations, with the young-weed stage
kept separate from crop growth stage.
Product fit: Combines grass-weed and broad-leaved weed activity in a single
manufactured micro-emulsion formulation.
Stage matters: For black gram and green gram, use the post-emergence 2–3-leaf stage
of weeds. Do not substitute a crop leaf count or days after sowing.
Keep soybean separate: The listed soybean weeds require a current pack that permits
that use. Do not carry the pulse-crop stage or another crop’s quantity into soybean.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🌿 Mixed-weed activity: Helps manage
susceptible grassy and broad-leaved weeds within the listed crop-specific target combinations.
-
🍃 Systemic action: Movement within treated
plants contributes to weed control; it does not remove the need for the correct method and coverage.
-
🌱 Young-weed treatment in pulses: The
black-gram and green-gram direction focuses on emerged weeds at 2–3 leaves, helping keep treatment aligned with the intended weed
stage.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Fomesafen inhibits PPO: Fomesafen inhibits protoporphyrinogen oxidase. This can generate reactive molecules that damage cell
membranes, causing susceptible weed tissue to lose integrity.
-
Propaquizafop inhibits ACCase: Propaquizafop blocks acetyl-CoA carboxylase, disrupting fatty-acid synthesis needed for new
membranes and growth in susceptible grasses.
-
Systemic activity contributes to control: The formulation’s systemic activity supports action within treated weeds. It does not
authorize an unlisted application route or replace correct treatment placement.
These are three aspects of a two-active mixture, not three modes of action. Groups 14 and 1 do not guarantee
resistance-proof control. Follow the pack’s rotation and application limits, and do not reproduce the premix by mixing separate
fomesafen and propaquizafop products.

Match each crop and weed to the supplied current Upturn label and leaflet. The soybean row is not an
instruction to use the black-gram or green-gram programme on soybean. Do not extend a broad-spectrum description to unlisted weeds,
crops or crop stages.
Dosage & Application Guide
Post-emergence weed stage and crop-specific application requirements
For black gram and green gram, the stated first-treatment window is post-emergence when weeds have 2–3 leaves.
Keep that weed-stage condition with the complete crop-specific current-pack method; it is not a crop leaf count or a fixed day after
sowing.
Soybean needs its own complete permitted directions for the listed weeds. Do not transfer the pulse-crop
timing, a different herbicide’s spray method, or a generic per-acre quantity to that use.
A complete numerical application programme is not given here. Confirm the product quantity and unit, water
volume, actual application method, equipment, crop restrictions and first-treatment stage together before measuring or applying.
Systemic activity and the term post-emergence do not by themselves specify the equipment or route.
Follow the supplied current pack’s harvest, worker re-entry and any further-treatment restrictions. The
pre-harvest interval is the time from the final application to harvest; worker re-entry and repeat-treatment intervals are separate.
Missing quantity, water or harvest details do not mean that no restriction applies or that immediate harvest is allowed. No fixed
rainfast interval is implied. No per-litre or tank recipe is supplied.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Match the exact premix: Confirm both active ingredients, their strengths and the ME formulation. Do not substitute a different
fomesafen mixture, propaquizafop alone, another brand or concentration, or overseas-label directions for the supplied current Indian
pack.
-
Identify weeds within the crop: Use the crop-specific target list and confirm that the supplied pack permits that pairing. Keep
soybean separate from black gram and green gram.
-
Follow the pulse-crop weed window: For black gram and green gram, target emerged weeds at 2–3 leaves. Do not change this into a
crop stage, a universal sowing interval or a pre-emergence instruction.
-
Obtain the full application method: Confirm the exact product and water basis, equipment, mixing, coverage and weather directions
before use. Calibrate equipment according to the supplied current pack. Avoid drift onto neighbouring crops and non-target areas.
-
Check combinations and resistance limits: Mix with another product, including a fertilizer or adjuvant, only when both current
labels expressly permit the proposed combination for the crop and use. Physical compatibility alone is not permission to mix. This
manufactured premix is not a recipe for combining separate active-ingredient products. Follow rotation and application limits for both
groups.
-
Keep treatment records: Record the crop, field, weed, area, method, date and product quantity. Keep harvest restrictions, worker
entry and any further treatment separate; do not infer an automatic repeat.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does 2–3 leaves refer to the crop or the weeds?
It refers to weeds in the black-gram and green-gram post-emergence directions. It is not a crop leaf count
or a fixed number of days after sowing.
2. Can I use the pulse-crop directions on soybean?
No. Use soybean only when the supplied current pack permits it, with the exact listed weeds and its own
complete method, stage, quantity, water and harvest restrictions.
3. Can I make Upturn by mixing separate herbicides?
No. Upturn is a manufactured fomesafen–propaquizafop ME premix. Its composition is not a DIY tank-mixing
recipe, and separate products can have different formulations and permissions.
4. Can this page supply a per-pump dose?
No. A correct crop and weed stage alone do not establish the product quantity, water, route and waiting
restrictions. Obtain the complete current-pack programme instead of deriving a tank dose.
5. Do two active ingredients prevent resistance?
No. The two ingredients belong to Groups 14 and 1, but a premix does not make resistance impossible. Follow
the permitted rotation and application limits rather than repeatedly relying on the same groups.
