Product details
Uxmal Herbicide | Glufosinate Ammonium 13.5% w/w SL (15% w/v)
Weed-directed treatment in cotton and tea, with crop contact avoided and the weed stage, water volume and
harvest interval kept together.
Use fit: For the listed emerged weeds in cotton and tea, not an over-the-top crop
spray or a general garden treatment.
Placement and stage: Direct the spray onto weeds only, while they are actively
growing at the 3–4-leaf stage. Protect crop foliage and other desirable plants.
Water and equipment: Adequate water and coverage are essential. Use a Flood Jet or
Flat Fan nozzle, not a hollow-cone or solid-stream nozzle.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🌿 Mixed-weed control: Activity against
grasses, sedges and broad-leaved weeds helps address mixed infestations within the permitted crop-specific target list.
-
🍂 Weed dry-down: Disruption of the weed’s
nitrogen metabolism leads to drying and death of susceptible weeds; results depend on stage, coverage and conditions.
-
🌱 Cotton and tea use: Separate cotton and
tea directions allow the product amount and harvest restriction to stay matched to the crop rather than using one universal recipe.

| Application focus |

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Glutamine synthetase is inhibited: Glufosinate ammonium interferes with glutamine synthetase, an enzyme involved in the plant’s
nitrogen metabolism.
-
Ammonia builds up: Disrupted nitrogen processing allows ammonia to accumulate in the treated weed.
-
Susceptible weed tissue dries: The resulting injury leads to weed drying and death when the permitted treatment reaches susceptible
weeds under suitable conditions.
Group 10 is not the same mode of action as glyphosate. Include HRAC Group 10 in resistance planning.
Weed-directed use does not make crop foliage tolerant, and limited soil activity does not establish environmental safety or a residual
pre-emergence programme. Do not promise a fixed kill time or control of every weed.
Target Crops & Weeds
| Crop |
Target weeds |
|---|---|
| Cotton |
Echinochloa sp.; Cynodon dactylon; Cyperus rotundus; Digitaria marginata; Dactyloctenium aegyptium. |
| Tea |
Panicum repens; Borreria hispida; Imperata cylindrica; Digitaria sanguinalis; Commelina benghalensis; Ageratum conyzoides;
Eleusine indica; Paspalum conjugatum. |
Use only the crop–weed pairing permitted on the supplied current Uxmal pack. The wider description of grass,
sedge and broad-leaved weed control is not permission to treat every species. Keep cotton and tea target lists separate and keep spray
off crop foliage and other desirable plants.

The product quantities are per acre. Water quantities are shown per hectare with approximate acre equivalents;
they are not per-litre or tank recipes. The pre-harvest interval is the time from the final application to harvest; worker re-entry
and repeat-treatment intervals are separate. Follow the complete supplied current pack, including its crop restrictions, equipment and
any further-treatment limits.
Do not reduce the water volume to concentrate the spray. Ensure proper coverage, do not spray before rain, and
do not use low water volume. No fixed rainfast period, automatic repeat interval, application count or adjuvant rate is given
here.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Identify the crop and weeds: Match the exact formulation and listed crop–weed combination. Do not substitute glyphosate,
glufosinate 50% WG or a glufosinate premix.
-
Wait for the correct weed stage: Treat actively growing weeds at the 3–4-leaf stage. This is a weed stage, not a crop leaf count,
and it does not authorize pre-emergence treatment.
-
Protect the crop and nearby plants: Direct spray onto weeds only. Keep it off crop foliage and other desirable plants; avoid drift
into neighbouring crops and non-target areas.
-
Use the specified nozzle and sufficient water: Use a Flood Jet or Flat Fan nozzle. Avoid hollow-cone and solid-stream nozzles.
Calibrate for the stated area and crop-specific water volume without deriving an unapproved tank recipe.
-
Respect weather and mixing restrictions: Do not spray before rain or with low water volume. Follow all other pack weather and
mixing directions. Mix with another product only when both current labels expressly permit the proposed combination for the crop and use.
Physical compatibility alone is not permission to mix.
-
Record treatment and waiting periods: Record the crop, field, weeds, area, application date and product quantity. Observe the
crop-specific harvest interval and separate worker re-entry restrictions; do not infer a repeat schedule or a rainfast waiting time.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can Uxmal be sprayed over the cotton or tea canopy?
No. Direct the spray onto weeds only and keep it off crop foliage and other desirable plants. Listing a crop
does not mean its leaves tolerate contact with the herbicide.
2. Does the 3–4-leaf stage refer to the crop?
No. It refers to actively growing weeds. It is not a crop leaf count, a fixed number of days after sowing or
a pre-emergence instruction.
3. Can I use less water or any nozzle?
No. Use the stated crop-specific water volume for adequate coverage, with a Flood Jet or Flat Fan nozzle. Do
not use low water volume, hollow-cone nozzles or solid-stream nozzles.
4. How long should I wait before harvesting?
Keep at least 96 days between the final permitted cotton application and harvest, or 15 days for tea. These
harvest intervals are not repeat-spray or worker re-entry intervals.
5. Is it safe to spray just before rain or add another herbicide?
Do not spray before rain. This description gives no fixed rainfast period. Mix with another product only
when both current labels expressly permit the proposed combination for the crop and use. Physical compatibility alone is not
permission to mix. Do not add a sticker, surfactant or another herbicide merely because it is used with a different product.
