SOCIETY (Propaquizafop 10% EC)

Technical Name: Propaquizafop 10% EC.

Use in Crops : Black gram, Soyabean.

1. Mode of Action

• Society is a member of Aryloxyphenoxypropionatesfop (Fop) group of herbicides and systematically gets translocated to plant meristems. Society gets absorbed by the foliage within 1 hour of spraying and inhibits fatty acid synthesis (ACCease). Thus destroying vital function of plant result in chlorosis in young plant tissues, youngest leaf will show yellowing first. Drying could be observed within 3 – 4 days of spraying and ultimately collapse of entire plant (14 – 21 days).

  2. Special Features

  High content of surfactant – Under normal condition no need for external surfactant addition.

  Wide spectrum use – Provides an excellent control of broad range of annual and perennial grasses. Unique activity against perennial weeds e. g Sorghum spp. and Cynodon spp.

  Rain fastness – One hour rain fastness and enhanced activity on target weeds.

  Low application rate – Relatively lower application rate per hectare compare to the other molecules in the same segment.

  No risk to the succeeding crop – Unlike many other herbicides, Society is safe to the succeeding crop in the next season. No carry over risk to the next crop.

  Safe to the Environment – Low leaching, low solubility of active ingredient in water and rapid degradability in soil. No residues left

  3.Time of Application

  It is recommended for post-emergent use at 2 to 3 leaf stage of weed growth.

• Compatibility

  It is advisable to conduct a physical compatibility test before use in combination with other molecules.

• Phytotoxicity

  No Phytotoxicity observed if used as recommended.
