Complete Root Kill: Systemic action travels down to the roots of grassy weeds, ensuring they don't grow back later in the season.
-
🌧️
Rainfast in 2 Hours: Excellent for the monsoon season. Once sprayed, it locks onto the weed surface and becomes resistant to wash-off within 2 hours.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Amora uses a unique "Dual-Engine" technology to tackle weeds in two different ways:
- Systemic Attack (The "Root Killer"): The Quizalofop component is absorbed by grassy leaves and moves down to the roots. It stops lipid synthesis, starving the roots and killing the grass from the inside out.
- Contact Attack (The "Leaf Burner"): The Fomesafen component works on contact. It targets broadleaf weeds by disrupting their cell membranes, causing rapid drying and necrosis (death) of the leaves upon exposure to sunlight.
- Synergy: Together, they prevent "weed shift," ensuring that when one weed dies, another doesn't take its place.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Soybean | Sawank (Echinochloa), Gajar Ghas (Parthenium), Kena (Commelina), Crabgrass, Johnson Grass, Wild Cholai. |
| Groundnut | Echinochloa species, Trianthema (Santha), Digera (Lahsua), and other mixed weeds. |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Do not cut corners on water volume.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soybean | 600 ml | 200 Litres | 3 ml | 60 Days |
| Groundnut | 600 ml | 200 Litres | 3 ml | 60 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply when weeds are young and actively growing, ideally at the 2 to 4 leaf stage (approx. 15-25 days after sowing). Spraying too late reduces effectiveness.
- Mixing & Nozzle: Use a Flat-Fan or Flood-Jet nozzle for uniform coverage. Avoid hollow cone nozzles to prevent drift. Ensure the soil has good moisture (do not spray in drought conditions).
- Coverage: Since Fomesafen acts on contact, thorough coverage is key. Ensure the leaves of the weeds are fully wetted.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Fomesafen can be an eye irritant, so protect your eyes during mixing. Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Amora control Gajar Ghas (Parthenium)?
Yes, Amora is highly effective against Parthenium and other difficult broadleaf weeds that standard grass-killers miss.
2. How soon will I see results?
You will see broadleaf weeds starting to dry up within 3-5 days. Grassy weeds will stop growing immediately and die completely within 10-14 days.
3. Is it safe if it rains after spraying?
Yes, Amora is rainfast within 2 hours. If it rains 2 hours after application, you do not need to respray.
4. Can I use Amora on crops other than Soybean or Groundnut?
No. Amora is specifically designed for leguminous crops like Soybean and Groundnut. Using it on other crops (like Maize or Cotton) may cause severe damage.
5. Will it burn my Soybean crop?
Amora is very safe when used at the recommended dose (600ml/acre). Slight yellowing or speckling may occur in extreme heat or water stress, but the crop recovers quickly without yield loss.
