Dozo Maxx is a selective, post-emergence herbicide manufactured by Dhanuka Agritech Ltd.1 It's specifically designed for cotton crops and contains Pyrithiobac sodium 6% + Quizalofop-P-ethyl 4% ME as its active ingredients.2 This dual-action formula provides effective control against a wide range of broadleaf and narrowleaf weeds.3
Key Features:
Selective Action: Controls weeds without harming the cotton crop at any stage of growth and development.4
Post-emergence Control: Applied after weeds have emerged, typically at the 2-3 leaf stage.5
Dual Action: Combines two different modes of action for enhanced efficacy and resistance management.6
Broad-spectrum Weed Control: Effectively controls major broadleaf and narrowleaf weeds commonly found in cotton fields.7
Long-lasting Residual: Provides a weed-free period of 25-30 days after application.8
Advanced Formulation: Utilizes an advanced ME (Micro-Emulsion) formulation that is superior and thermodynamically stable, ensuring better efficacy and stability.9
Mode of Action:
Pyrithiobac sodium: Absorbed by the roots and shoots of weeds and translocated to their growing points.10 It inhibits the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS), which is involved in amino acid synthesis, leading to weed death.11
Quizalofop-P-ethyl: Inhibits acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase), an enzyme crucial for fatty acid synthesis in grasses.12 This disrupts cell membrane formation and leads to the death of grass weeds.
