How It Works: Mode of Action
Eagle Super works by targeting the specific biology of grassy weeds while leaving your broadleaf crops untouched.
- Uptake: Upon spraying, the chemical is rapidly absorbed through the waxy leaves of the weed.
- Translocation: It moves systematically inside the plant to the growing points (meristems).
- Elimination: It inhibits the ACCase enzyme, which is vital for cell growth. This stops the weed from producing lipids, causing it to wither and die.
Note: Broadleaf crops (Dicots) can naturally metabolize this chemical, which is why they remain safe.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Applying too little will lead to weed resistance, and too much may stress the crop.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soybean / Groundnut | 350 - 400 ml | 150 - 200 L | 2.0 - 2.5 ml | Check Label |
| Cotton | 400 ml | 150 - 200 L | 2.0 - 2.5 ml | Check Label |
| Knapsack Spraying | N/A | 15 Litre Tank | ~7 ml / Litre | (100ml / Tank) |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Refer to the product bottle for specific crop intervals.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply when weeds are actively growing, ideally at the 2 to 4 leaf stage. Spraying too late (flowering stage) reduces effectiveness.
- Mixing: Use clean water. Add the recommended dose to a bucket of water first, mix well, and then add to the spray tank.
- Coverage: Ensure uniform coverage of the weed foliage. Do not spray if rain is expected within 1-2 hours.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying near fish ponds as it is toxic to aquatic life.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can Eagle Super be used on Maize or Sugarcane?
No. Eagle Super is generally safe for broadleaf crops. Using it on other grass crops (monocots) like Maize or Sugarcane may damage the crop. Always check the label.
2. What is the price of Eagle Super Herbicide?
The retail price is approximately ₹950 per Liter, though this may vary by dealer and location.
3. How long does it take to see results?
Weeds stop growing within 48 hours. Visible yellowing (necrosis) typically appears within 5-7 days, with complete death in 10-14 days.
4. Is it a pre-emergence or post-emergence herbicide?
Eagle Super is a post-emergence herbicide. It must be sprayed after the weeds have sprouted and are visible (2-4 leaf stage).
5. Can I mix it with other chemicals?
Consult an agronomist before tank-mixing. Generally, it should not be mixed with broadleaf herbicides (like 2,4-D) as this can reduce its effectiveness on grasses.
