WHIP SUPER HERBICIDE- Fenoxaprop-p-Ethyl

• Whip Super Herbicide contains Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl as active ingredient which is a selective herbicide having action against Echinochloa sp. and other grassy weeds in soybean and rice. It is a post-emergent herbicide having action on broad spectrum of grasses.
• Technical Details: Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl 9 EC (9.3% w/w)

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
