How It Works: Mode of Action
ADAMA Agil uses a highly targeted biochemical process to destroy weeds from the inside out:
- Rapid Absorption & Movement: The chemical quickly penetrates the weed's waxy leaf surface and travels freely throughout the plant, reaching down to the deepest root systems and rhizomes.
- Enzyme Inhibition (ACCase): It specifically targets and blocks the ACCase enzyme, instantly stopping the weed from producing essential lipids (fats) required for cell growth and survival.
- Complete Eradication: Growth halts entirely within 24 to 48 hours. Within 10 to 15 days, the weed turns yellow, dries out, and completely dies off, leaving your primary crop completely unbothered.
Because broadleaf crops possess a completely different enzyme structure, they remain 100% immune to this process.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Soybean & Black Gram | Barnyard grass, Crowfoot grass, Crabgrass, Goosegrass |
| Cotton & Groundnut | Bermuda grass, Johnson grass, Crabgrass, Crowfoot grass |
| Onion, Tomato & Chilli | Wide spectrum of tough annual and perennial grassy weeds |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soybean | 200 - 300 ml | 150 - 200 L | 1.5 - 2 ml | Refer to label |
| Cotton & Groundnut | 300 - 400 ml | 150 - 200 L | 1.5 - 2 ml | Refer to label |
| Onion | 250 ml | 150 - 200 L | 1.25 - 1.5 ml | Refer to label |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply when the grassy weeds are actively growing at the 2 to 4-leaf stage (usually 15 to 25 days after you sow your crop). This ensures maximum chemical absorption.
- Mixing: Use a flat fan or flood jet nozzle on your sprayer for the perfect droplet size. Avoid tank-mixing with unverified fertilizers, insecticides, or broadleaf herbicides to prevent crop injury.
- Coverage: Ensure complete and uniform coverage over the weed foliage. Avoid spraying during high winds or extreme mid-day heat.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is ADAMA Agil safe for my main crop?
Yes! It is highly selective and 100% safe for broadleaf crops like soybean, cotton, onions, and groundnut. It will only target and kill narrow-leaved grasses.
2. How soon after spraying is it rainfast?
Agil absorbs rapidly and is rainfast within just 1 hour. Sudden rains after this window will not wash it away or reduce its weed-killing power.
3. Will it kill underground roots like rhizomes?
Absolutely. It is a systemic herbicide, meaning it travels directly down into the root system to destroy rhizomes, ensuring tough perennial weeds do not regrow.
4. When is the absolute best time to spray?
The golden window for application is when the weeds are young, specifically at the 2 to 4 true-leaf stage (usually 15 to 25 days after sowing the main crop).
5. Can I mix Agil with other farming chemicals?
It is strongly recommended not to mix it with unverified fungicides, insecticides, or broadleaf herbicides, as this can cause adverse reactions or damage your crops.
