Description:

AGRIVENTURE QUIZALO SUPER is a selective, systemic post-emergence herbicide widely used to control narrow-leaf (grassy) weeds in broadleaf crops. It is primarily applied as a foliar spray.

Technical content: Quizalofop Ethyl 10% EC

Key Features & Benefits:

• Selective Weed Control: It exclusively targets and destroys narrow-leaf grassy weeds (like barnyard grass, crabgrass, and wild sorghum) while keeping broadleaf crops completely safe.
• Systemic Action: The chemical is quickly absorbed through the weed's leaves and travels down to the roots and rhizomes. This systemic translocation ensures the complete death of the weed with no regrowth.
• Fast-Acting: It halts weed growth within hours of application. Affected weeds typically show discoloration (purplish or red) in 5-8 days and die completely within 10-15 days.
• Rainfastness: Most formulations are quickly absorbed by the foliage and are rainfast within 1 to 4 hours, meaning it remains effective even if it rains shortly after application.
• Residual Effect: It provides long-lasting, extended control, keeping fields clean of new grassy weeds.
• Wide Crop Compatibility: Safe to use across many economically vital broadleaf and pulse crops, including Soybean, Cotton, Groundnut, Black gram (Urad), Green gram (Moong), Onion, Garlic, and Chilli.

Crops suitability:

• Oilseeds: Soybean, Groundnut, Mustard.
• Pulses: Black gram (Urad), Green gram (Moong), Pigeon pea (Tur).
• Cash Crops: Cotton.
• Vegetables & Spices: Onion, Garlic, Potato, Tomato, Chilli, Brinjal, Okra.
• Plantations: Citrus, Grapes.

Commonly used for:

• Barnyard grass (Echinochloa colona)
• Crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis)
• Goosegrass (Eleusine indica)
• Johnson grass
• Love grass and Viper grass

Mode of entry: Systemic

Mode of action:

• Enzyme Inhibition: It targets and blocks the Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) enzyme.
• Lipid Synthesis Failure: ACCase is critical for fatty acid biosynthesis in plants. By inhibiting it, Quizalofop Ethyl stops the production of new lipids required to build cell membranes.
• Complete Death: Meristematic (growing) tissues are quickly starved and destroyed.

Mode of application: Foliar spray

Dose: 15 - 20 ml in 15-liter water

Additional information:

• Application Timing: Post-emergence, typically when grassy weeds are at the 2 to 4 leaf stage.
• Timeline: Visible weed damage (yellowing/redding) occurs in 5–8 days; weeds are completely killed within 10–15 days.
