Green Label by Insecticides (India) Limited (IIL) is a revolutionary post-emergence herbicide designed specifically for Indian rice farmers. Known popularly as the "Tractor Brand," it solves the biggest headache in paddy farming: labor shortages. Instead of spending thousands on manual weeding, Green Label clears your field of tough weeds like Barnyard grass and Sedges in a single spray.
Best For: Nursery, Transplanted Rice, and Direct Seeded Rice (DSR).
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
⏱️
Broad Spectrum Control: Eliminate Grasses, Sedges, and Broadleaf weeds with just one bottle. You don't need different medicines for different weeds.

🛡️
100% Crop Safety: While it is deadly to weeds, Green Label is safe for your Rice crop. The rice plant has a special enzyme that breaks down the chemical, keeping your crop green and healthy.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Green Label works intelligently to target weed biology without harming your crop.
- Absorption: When sprayed, the liquid is absorbed by the weed's leaves and roots.
- Protein Blockage: It blocks the ALS enzyme, which weeds need to create essential proteins (amino acids like Valine and Leucine).
- Starvation & Death: Without these proteins, the weed stops growing immediately. It turns yellow (chlorosis) within 4-7 days and dies completely within 2-3 weeks.
Note: Rice plants are naturally immune because they can digest and destroy this chemical quickly inside their system.

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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | 80 - 120 ml (Standard 100 ml) | 120 - 150 Liters | ~ 0.8 to 1 ml | 78 Days |
| Nursery | 10 - 20 ml | 15 - 20 Liters | 1 ml | - |
| Direct Seeded Rice | 100 ml | 120 - 150 Liters | ~ 1 ml | 78 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Timing (Weed Stage): Spray when weeds have 2 to 5 leaves. If weeds are too big, the medicine won't work as well.
(Approx: 10-14 days after transplanting or 15-25 days after sowing). -
The "Drain - Spray - Flood" Method:
1. Drain the field water completely so weeds are exposed to air.
2. Spray uniformly using a Flat Fan nozzle.
3. Wait 48 to 72 hours (2-3 days).
4. Reflood the field with water (3-5 cm) to stop new weeds from growing. - Coverage: Use at least 8-10 tanks (150 Liters) of water per acre. Do not try to cover an acre with just 3-4 tanks, or you will burn the crop.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions

No. Green Label must be sprayed as a liquid using a knapsack sprayer. Do not mix it with fertilizers, sand, or broadcast it by hand.

Slight yellowing may occur if the dose was too high or if the weather is very cold. Do not worry; the rice will recover and turn green again within 10-14 days without any yield loss.
3. Can I use this on crops other than Rice?
No. Green Label is specifically designed for Rice (Paddy). Using it on other crops may kill them.
4. What nozzle should I use for spraying?
Use a "Flat Fan" or "Flood Jet" nozzle. Do not use the round/cone nozzle used for insecticides.
