Amora Herbicide (Quizalofop-p-ethyl + Fomesafen)
The Ultimate "One-Shot" Solution for Weed-Free Soybeans & Groundnuts
Amora Herbicide by Crystal Crop Protection is a powerful, broad-spectrum solution designed specifically for Indian farmers. It combines two advanced active ingredients to deliver a "dual-action" punch: it burns broadleaf weeds on contact while systemically destroying grasses down to the roots. Say goodbye to manual weeding and hello to a "Safal Fasal" (Successful Harvest).
Best For: Controlling tough weeds like Congress Grass (Parthenium), Jungle Rice, and Commelina in Soybean and Groundnut crops.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Rapid Action: Visible results in just 3-5 days. Fomesafen burns weed leaves quickly, giving you instant satisfaction.
- ?️Broad Spectrum Control: A single spray kills both narrow-leaf (grasses) and broad-leaf weeds, preventing "weed shift."
- ⏳Deep Systemic Kill: Quizalofop travels to the roots, ensuring tough perennial grasses do not grow back.
- ?️Rainfast in 2 Hours: Perfect for the Kharif season; the medicine sticks to the plant even if it rains 2 hours after spraying.
- ?Highly Safe for Crops: Selective chemistry ensures your Soybean and Groundnut plants remain healthy with no yield shock.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Amora uses a synergistic "Burn & Kill" strategy to tackle complex weed flora.
- Systemic Attack (Quizalofop): Absorbed by leaves and moves to the roots. It stops lipid synthesis (ACCase enzyme), starving the growing points of grasses.
- Contact Burn (Fomesafen): Acts on the leaves by inhibiting the PPO enzyme. Upon sunlight exposure, it destroys cell membranes, causing rapid drying and browning.
- Selective Safety: Soybeans and Groundnuts have natural enzymes that detoxify the chemical rapidly, keeping the crop safe while weeds die.
Target Crops & Pests

| General | Controls most annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Do not under-dose water volume.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soybean | 600 ml | 200 L | 3 ml | 60 |
| Groundnut | 600 ml | 200 L | 3 ml | 60 |
| Standard | 600 ml | 200 - 250 L | 2.5 - 3 ml | - |
*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 weeds are in the 2-4 leaf stage (usually 15-20 days after sowing). Late application reduces efficacy.
- Mixing: Use clean water. Fill half the tank, add the dose, mix well, then fill the rest. No need to mix other chemicals (it is a ready-mix).
- Coverage: Use a Flat Fan Nozzle or Flood Jet nozzle. Ensure high soil moisture for best absorption. Do not use hollow cone nozzles.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying on windy days to prevent drift.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Amora control Congress Grass (Parthenium)?
Yes, Amora is highly effective against Parthenium and other hard-to-kill broadleaf weeds that standard grass-killers miss.
2. Will it harm my soybean crop?
No, when used at the recommended dose (600ml/acre), Amora is selective and safe. Mild leaf speckling may occur in high heat but the crop recovers quickly with no yield loss.
3. What happens if it rains after spraying?
Amora is rainfast within 2 hours. If it rains 2 hours after application, you do not need to re-spray.
4. Can I use this on Cotton or Maize?
No. Amora is specifically designed for Legumes (Soybean/Groundnut). It can cause severe damage if sprayed on Maize or non-tolerant crops.
5. Do I need to mix any adhesive or gum?
The SC formulation typically contains built-in surfactants. However, always check the bottle label; generally, extra stickers are not required if the weather is clear.
