FAQs for Best Agrolife Headshot (Halosulfuron Methyl 75% WG) Selective Herbicide
1. What is Headshot Herbicide used for?
Ans. Headshot is a selective post-emergence herbicide designed to control problematic weeds like Cyperus rotundus (purple nutsedge) and Cyperus iria (yellow nutsedge) in crops such as sugarcane, maize, and bottle gourd. ​
2. How does Halosulfuron Methyl work?
Ans. Halosulfuron Methyl is absorbed by the roots and shoots of weeds and translocated throughout the plant. It inhibits the ALS (acetolactate synthase) enzyme, which is crucial for amino acid synthesis, leading to the death of the weed. ​
3. What is the recommended dosage and application method?
Ans. For sugarcane, the recommended dosage is 45-75 grams per hectare, applied as a foliar spray during the 2-5 leaf stage of weeds. Ensure even spraying and avoid application during windy or rainy conditions to prevent drift to non-target areas. ​
4. Is Headshot safe for crops?
Ans. Yes, Headshot is selective and safe for the recommended crops when used as directed. It targets specific weeds without harming the main crop. ​
5. Can Headshot be tank-mixed with other herbicides or fertilizers?
Ans. Headshot can be tank-mixed with certain herbicides and fertilizers. However, always perform a compatibility test before mixing and consult the product label or an agricultural expert for specific recommendations. ​
6. How long does it take to see results after application?
Ans. Visible symptoms on weeds, such as yellowing and stunting, typically appear within 7 to 14 days after application, depending on environmental conditions and weed species. ​
7. What precautions should be taken during application?
Ans.
- Avoid spraying during windy conditions to prevent drift to non-target plants.
- Do not apply if rain is expected within 6 hours.
- Use protective clothing and equipment during application.
- Clean all equipment thoroughly after use to prevent contamination.
