How It Works: Mode of Action
Cheetah operates using a sophisticated ALS Inhibition mechanism to stop weed growth instantly.
- Absorption: The active ingredient, Imazethapyr, is rapidly absorbed through the weed's roots and leaves.
- Translocation: It travels through the plant's internal transport system (xylem and phloem) to the growth points (meristems).
- Termination: It inhibits the ALS enzyme, blocking the synthesis of essential amino acids (valine, leucine, isoleucine). This stops DNA synthesis, causing the weed to wither and die.
Result: Immediate growth arrest followed by complete plant death.

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 | 400 ml | 200 L | 2 ml | -- |
| Groundnut | 400 ml | 200 L | 2 ml | -- |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Always check the local leaflet.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply as Early Post-Emergence (when weeds are actively growing).
- Mixing: Ensure adequate soil moisture before application for best root absorption.
- Coverage: Use flat fan nozzles to ensure uniform coverage over the foliage.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
