How It Works: Mode of Action
Daliso acts as a "Biochemical Assassin" against weeds using ALS Inhibition technology.
- Absorption: The herbicide is rapidly absorbed by both the leaves and roots of the weed.
- Translocation: It moves through the plant's vascular system to the active growing tips.
- Starvation: It blocks the production of essential amino acids. The weed stops dividing cells, stops growing immediately, and dies within days.
Note: Cotton plants have a natural enzyme that breaks down this chemical rapidly, keeping the crop safe while the weeds perish.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 250 - 300 ml | 200 Liters | 1.25 - 1.5 ml | 160 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 in the 2 to 4 leaf stage (usually 20-25 days after sowing cotton). Late application reduces results.
- Mixing: DO NOT MIX with insecticides (especially Organophosphates like Acephate or Malathion). This causes crop damage (phytotoxicity).
- Coverage: Use a Flat Fan or Flood Jet nozzle. Do not use Cone nozzles. Ensure high water volume (200L/acre) for full coverage.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Daliso kill grassy weeds?
No, Daliso is a broadleaf-specific herbicide. It will not control established grassy weeds (monocots).
2. Can I mix Daliso with insecticides for bollworms?
No. Mixing Daliso with insecticides can stop the cotton plant from protecting itself, leading to crop burn. Maintain a 5-7 day gap between herbicide and insecticide sprays.
3. When is the best time to spray?
The ideal window is when weeds are small (2-4 leaves) and the soil has adequate moisture. This is typically when the cotton crop is 20-25 days old.
4. What if I apply it on dry soil?
Results will be poor. The herbicide needs soil moisture to be absorbed effectively by the weeds. Ensure the field is irrigated or has sufficient moisture before spraying.
5. Will it affect the next crop?
Pyrithiobac Sodium has soil residue. Be cautious when rotating to sensitive crops like maize, sunflower, or pulses immediately after cotton. Check the plant-back interval guidelines.
