Tasar Herbicide: The Dual-Action Solution for Legume Crops

Tasar is an advanced, dual-action post-emergence herbicide from Parijat Industries, expertly designed to protect India's key legume crops.

It provides a complete weed control solution for Soybean, Groundnut, and Pulses (like Black Gram and Green Gram). Young legume crops are highly vulnerable to weed competition, which can devastate yield. Tasar tackles this by combining two powerful active ingredients, Imazethapyr and Imazamox, into one potent formula.

It works as a "yield-protection asset," delivering both a rapid foliar knockdown of existing weeds and residual soil activity to suppress new weed flushes, ensuring your crops get a clean, competition-free start.

Why Choose Tasar? Key Benefits

• ⏱️
  Fast-Acting Knockdown: The Imazamox component is rapidly absorbed by leaves, providing quick, visible stunting and "burn-down" of established weeds.
• 🛡️
  Broad-Spectrum Control: Highly effective against a complex "cocktail" of difficult weeds, including grasses (like Echinochloa, Dinebra), broadleaves (like Commelina, Euphorbia), and sedges (like Cyperus).
• ⏳
  Extended Residual Action: The Imazethapyr component creates a chemical barrier in the soil, controlling subsequent flushes of weeds long after application.
• 🌧️
  Quick Rainfastness: Becomes resistant to wash-off from rain within just 3 hours of application, making it perfect for unpredictable monsoon weather.
• 🌿
  Advanced Crop-Safe Formulation: As a Water Dispersible Granule (WG), it's solvent-free and gentler on the crop canopy than harsh EC formulations, reducing the risk of leaf burn.

How It Works: Mode of Action

Tasar is a systemic herbicide that targets the core growth engine of weeds.

1. Blocks a Key Enzyme: After being absorbed by leaves and roots, Tasar moves to the weed's growth points (meristems) and blocks a crucial enzyme called ALS (Acetolactate Synthase).
2. Stops Amino Acid Production: This blockage stops the weed from producing three essential amino acids (valine, leucine, and isoleucine) that are the building blocks of protein.
3. Halts Growth & Kills Weed: Cell division and growth stop almost immediately. The weed stops competing with your crop, starves, turns yellow (chlorosis), and dies completely within 10-21 days.

Even if weeds don't look dead for a few days, they are "functionally dead" and no longer stealing nutrients or water.

Dosage & Application Guide

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.

Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: Always refer to the official product label for the most up-to-date PHI and safety information.

How to Apply: Best Practices

• Timing: Apply at the Early Post-Emergence (EPE) stage, when weeds are small and actively growing (at the 2-3 leaf stage). For soybean, this is typically 15-20 days after sowing.
• Mixing: This is critical. Always mix Tasar with a recommended adjuvant (like Methylated Seed Oil - MSO) at 2 ml per litre of water. First, create a slurry by mixing the Tasar granules in a small amount of water, then add it to the main spray tank.
• Coverage: Use a high water volume (150-200 L/acre) and a Flat Fan nozzle. This creates a fine mist that ensures thorough coverage of all weed foliage.
• Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not apply to crops that are under severe stress (drought, waterlogging, etc.).
