How It Works: Mode of Action
Green Mix works by inhibiting the ALS enzyme, which is essential for plant growth. This creates a systemic "lock-and-key" effect:
- Absorption: The herbicide enters the weed through both the foliage (leaves) and the root system.
- Translocation: It travels inside the plant to the active growing points (shoot tips and roots).
- Termination: It halts the production of essential amino acids, stopping cell division immediately. The weed dies completely within 14-21 days.

Green Mix Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Do not overdose.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Timing | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 8g | 200-240 L | Post-Emergence (15-25 Days) | 60-90* |
| Soybean | 8g | 200-240 L | Pre-Emergence (0-3 Days) | 60-90* |
| Wheat | 8g | 200-240 L | Post-Emergence (25-35 Days) | 80-90* |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval. Always refer to the product leaflet for exact harvest timings.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing (Rice): Apply 15-25 days after transplanting when weeds are at the 2-4 leaf stage. Drain water before spraying, then re-flood after 24-48 hours.
- Timing (Soybean): Apply strictly within 0 to 3 days of sowing (Pre-emergence). Do not apply after the crop has come out of the soil.
- Mixing: Dissolve the 8g powder in a small mug of water to make a slurry before adding it to your main spray tank. This ensures the powder doesn't clump.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Green Mix kill grasses?
No. Green Mix is specialized for Sedges (Motha) and Broadleaf weeds. For grass control, you may need a separate grass herbicide.
2. Can I plant Maize or Sunflower after using this?
Be careful. These crops are sensitive to residues, especially in high pH soils. It is recommended to wait 9-12 months or conduct a soil test before planting Maize or Sunflower.
3. How long does it take to see results?
The weed stops growing almost immediately. Visual yellowing appears in 3-7 days, and complete death occurs in 14-21 days.
4. What is the shelf life of the product?
Green Mix has a shelf life of 2 years from the date of manufacture when stored in a cool, dry place.
5. Can I use less water than recommended?
No. Using less than 200 Liters of water per acre can increase the concentration too much and might burn your crop. Proper dilution is key.
