How It Works: Mode of Action
Parimaze works intelligently by targeting the specific biological systems of weeds without harming your crop.
- Double Absorption: The herbicide enters the weed through both the leaves (foliage) and the roots, ensuring no escape.
- Systemic Travel: It travels through the plant's system to the active growing points (meristems).
- Starvation Strategy: It inhibits the ALS enzyme, which stops the production of essential amino acids. The weed stops growing within days and slowly dies (amino acid starvation).
Note: Weeds may remain green for a few days but stop growing immediately—they become non-competitive "zombies" before dying.

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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soybean | 400 - 500 ml | 200 - 250 L | 2 - 2.5 ml | Refer to Label |
| Groundnut | 400 - 600 ml | 200 - 250 L | 2 - 3 ml | Refer to Label |
| Pulses | 400 ml | 200 - 250 L | 2 ml | Refer to Label |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. (Calculated based on 1.0 - 1.5 L/ha recommendation).
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray 10-20 Days After Sowing (DAS) when weeds are small (2-4 leaf stage). Do not delay.
- Mixing (The System): For best results on tough weeds, mix Parimaze with Ammonium Sulphate (Pariboost) and Surfactant (Parispread) as per the "Parijat Protocol".
- Coverage: Use a Flat Fan or Flood Jet nozzle. Ensure soil has sufficient moisture at the time of spraying.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. When will I see results?
Weeds stop growing within 1-2 days (entering stasis). Yellowing starts at 3-7 days, and complete death occurs in 14-21 days. Be patient; the weeds are not competing even if they look green initially.
2. Can I plant Mustard after using Parimaze?
Caution: Mustard is highly sensitive. You must wait 18-24 months or conduct a field bioassay before planting mustard. Wheat is generally safe to plant in the following season.
3. What if it rains after spraying?
Parimaze is rainfast in 4-6 hours. If it rains immediately after spraying (within 1-2 hours), efficacy may be reduced.
4. Can I use this on crops other than legumes?
No. It is specifically designed for legumes (Soybean, Groundnut, Pulses). Using it on other crops may kill them.
5. Does it control Nutsedge (Motha)?
Yes, it suppresses Nutsedge effectively. For heavy infestations, ensure you use the recommended adjuvants (Pariboost & Parispread) and spray when the sedge is young.
