Technical Name: Imazethapyr 10% SL
Product Category: Selective Herbicide
Description:
HOK Moto is a selective, systemic herbicide containing Imazethapyr 10% SL. It is designed for effective control of important annual grasses, broadleaf weeds and sedges in crops such as soybean, groundnut, black gram, green gram and red gram. It is generally applied at the early post-emergence stage when weeds are young and actively growing.
Technical Name:
Imazethapyr 10% SL
Mode of Action:
Imazethapyr belongs to the imidazolinone group of herbicides and inhibits the Acetolactate Synthase (ALS) enzyme. This blocks the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids required for weed growth. It is absorbed through the foliage and roots and translocated within the weed.
Features & Benefits:
- Selective herbicide for important legume crops.
- Controls a broad spectrum of grasses and broadleaf weeds.
- Effective against young, actively growing weeds.
- Systemic action provides movement within the weed.
- Helps reduce weed competition with the crop.
- Suitable for early post-emergence weed management.
- Can contribute to improved crop growth by reducing weed pressure.
Application Method:
- Apply as a foliar spray using a suitable knapsack/foot sprayer.
- Use a flat-fan nozzle for uniform coverage.
- Apply during early post-emergence, generally when weeds are at the 1–2 leaf stage or around 7–14 days after sowing, according to the registered crop recommendation.
- Avoid spraying against strong wind and ensure uniform application.
