Mode of Action :
- The active ingredient of Whip Super, Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl is quickly taken up by the leaves and stems of the grassy weeds.
- Biochemically, Whip Super predominantly inhibits the synthesis of fatty acids in the meristem tissues of the grassy weeds.
- Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) Classification: Group A
Advantages :
- Flexible application window and low dosages: Whip Super is very flexible as far as time of application is concerned. It gives a high level of control against most annual grassy weeds from the two-leaf to mid-tillering stage at low dosages
- Remarkably versatile: Whip Super is a versatile herbicide and can be used in all important broad–leaved crops
- Broad-spectrum: Whip super has a wide spectrum of activity and controls most of the important grassy weeds
- Weed control independent of soil type: Whip Super is taken up via the green plant tissues of the weed and not via the roots. It thus works independently of soil type
- Safe to succeeding crops: Since Whip Super is rapidly broken down in the soil there is no possibility of damage to either mono or dicotyledonous crops grown in the following season
Recommendations for Use:
- Soybean: Whip Super is to be applied at 15–20 days after sowing when weeds are at 3–4 leaf stage
- Rice: Apply 10-15 days after transplanting when weeds are in 4-5 leaf stage
- Cotton: Apply 20-25 days after sowing
- Black gram: Apply 15-20 days of sowing when weeds are at 3-4 leaf stage
Knapsack sprayer fitted with flat fan nozzle is recommended
