More Details

It seems you're interested in the KHALEESI herbicide. This is a popular product used for controlling a wide range of grassy weeds in broadleaf crops.

Here's a breakdown of its key features:

Active Ingredient: Quizalofop-ethyl 5% EC (Emulsifiable Concentrate)1

Mode of Action:

  • Selective systemic herbicide: Absorbed through the foliage of weeds and translocated throughout the plant, accumulating in the growing points (meristems).

  • Acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitor: Disrupts lipid biosynthesis, which is essential for cell membrane formation and growth in susceptible weeds. This leads to the death of the weed.

Target Weeds:

KHALEESI effectively controls a wide range of annual and perennial grasses, including:

  • Wild oat (Avena fatua)

  • Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli)

  • Crabgrass (Digitaria spp.)

  • Foxtail (Setaria spp.)

  • Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense)

  • Guinea grass (Panicum maximum)

Target Crops:

It is safe for use in various broadleaf crops, including:

  • Soybean

  • Cotton

  • Groundnut

  • Sunflower

  • Pulses (e.g., chickpea, lentil)

  • Other broadleaf crops

Key Features and Benefits:

  • Selective weed control: Effectively controls grasses without harming the main crop.

  • Systemic action: Ensures thorough coverage and reaches the growing points of the weeds.

  • Fast action: Weeds show symptoms of damage within a few days after application.

  • Rainfastness: Quickly absorbed by the weeds, providing resistance to wash-off from rain shortly after application.

  • Flexible application timing: Can be applied when weeds are actively growing.

Important Considerations:

  • Application timing: Follow the recommended application timing on the product label for optimal weed control.

  • Weed size: Most effective on young, actively growing weeds.

  • Spray coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of the weed foliage for best results.

  • Safety: Always follow the instructions on the product label for safe handling and application. Use appropriate personal protective equipment.

  • Resistance management: To prevent the development of herbicide resistance, rotate with herbicides from different chemical classes and integrate other weed control methods.
