Why Choose Bazzal Herbicide? Key Benefits for Wheat
- ⏱️Fast-Acting Control: Rapidly enters the plant and stops weed growth within days by halting essential lipid (fat) production.
- 🛡️100% Crop Safety: Contains a built-in safener (cloquintocet-mexyl) that neutralizes the chemical inside wheat, preventing any crop damage.
- ⏳Excellent Rainfastness: Quickly absorbs into weed leaves, ensuring reliable performance even if it rains shortly after application.
- 🌧️Breaks Weed Resistance: Highly effective against stubborn Phalaris minor biotypes that no longer respond to older chemicals like Isoproturon.
- 🌿Boosts Grain Yields: Eliminates resource-stealing weeds entirely, allowing wheat to thrive and produce significantly higher, healthier harvests.

How Pinoxaden Works: Bazzal's Mode of Action
Bazzal is designed to attack grassy weeds from the inside out:
- Rapid Absorption: The specialized liquid formula instantly cuts through the waxy surface of the weed's leaves.
- Enzyme Blockade: Once inside, it permanently blocks the ACCase enzyme, starving the weed of the vital lipids (fats) it needs to grow.
- Complete Eradication: The weed stops growing immediately, turns yellow, and completely dies within 2 to 3 weeks, leaving your wheat healthy and competition-free.
Note: Because wheat has a built-in defense triggered by Bazzal's safener ingredient, the crop easily breaks down the chemical and continues growing vigorously.

Bazzal Herbicide 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat | 320 - 360 ml | 120 - 150 Liters | 2.4 - 2.5 ml | 90 Days |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| - | - | - | - | - |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply Bazzal: Weed Control Best Practices
- Timing: Apply exactly 30 to 35 days after sowing. The grassy weeds MUST be actively growing and at the critical 3 to 5 leaf stage for the herbicide to work perfectly.
- Mixing: Dilute the exact dose in 120 to 150 liters of water per acre. Using too little water causes patchy results; using too much washes the chemical off the leaves.
- Coverage: Always use a flat-fan nozzle to drive the spray deep into the wheat canopy. Never use a hollow-cone nozzle, as it causes wind drift.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Keep away from aquatic environments to protect fish and water life.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bazzal Herbicide
1. Will Bazzal damage my growing wheat crop?
No. Bazzal contains a highly specialized safener (cloquintocet-mexyl) that acts like a shield, making the wheat completely immune to the chemical while destroying the weeds.
2. Does Bazzal control broadleaf weeds like Bathua (Chenopodium)?
No, Bazzal is strictly for narrow-leaved grasses. However, it can be easily tank-mixed with broadleaf herbicides (like Metsulfuron-methyl) to clear your field in a single spray.
3. When is the absolute best time to spray?
You will get the best results if you spray 30 to 35 days after you sow your wheat. The grassy weeds must be at the 3 to 5 leaf stage to absorb enough chemical.
4. What kind of sprayer nozzle should I use?
You must use a flat-fan nozzle. It creates heavier drops that coat the weeds evenly without blowing away in the wind.
5. Can it kill Gulli Danda that survives other chemicals?
Yes! Pinoxaden is a modern, resistance-breaking formula. It easily kills stubborn Phalaris minor biotypes that have become immune to older chemicals like Isoproturon.
