Demolit - Glufosinate Ammonium 13.5% w/w SL - Parijat

Parijat Demolit Herbicide Overview

Parijat Demolit is a non-selective post-emergence herbicide containing Glufosinate Ammonium 13.5% w/w SL, equivalent to 15% w/v. Its Indian labelled uses are directed weed control in cotton and tea. The spray must contact actively growing weeds while being kept off the crop.

Use note: Glufosinate is non-selective. Use a shielded, directed inter-row or ground spray and prevent contact or drift onto crop leaves, green bark and other desirable vegetation.

Key Product Benefits

• Post-emergence weed control: Designed for actively growing labelled weeds after emergence.
• Directed use in two crops: Current Indian use data lists cotton and tea with separate rates and PHIs.
• Group 10 mode of action: Glufosinate inhibits glutamine synthetase, causing rapid physiological disruption in susceptible plants.
• Reduced manual weeding: Parijat positions Demolit as a directed alternative where label-compliant chemical weed management is suitable.
• Pack-size choice: This store listing offers 500 ml, 1 litre and 5 litre variants.

Technical Specifications

How Demolit Works

Glufosinate belongs to HRAC/WSSA Group 10. It inhibits glutamine synthetase, disrupting normal nitrogen metabolism and causing ammonia accumulation in susceptible plants. This rapidly interferes with photosynthesis and membrane function.

1. Spray contact: Actively growing weed foliage receives the directed application.
2. Enzyme inhibition: Glutamine synthetase activity is blocked.
3. Plant decline: Metabolic disruption produces visible injury and death in susceptible weeds.

India Label: Crops, Weeds, Dose, Water and PHI

These are hectare-based Indian label directions. Apply as a shielded, directed spray to the weeds; contact with cotton or tea foliage can cause injury.

How to Apply Demolit

• Confirm that the field is cotton or tea and that the target weed appears on the current pack label.
• Apply as a shielded, directed ground or inter-row spray to actively growing weeds at the stage stated on the label.
• Use a flat-fan or flood-jet nozzle and calibrated equipment to obtain uniform weed coverage.
• Measure the crop-specific formulation rate and water volume; do not invent a universal per-litre dose.
• Keep the spray off crop foliage, green bark, suckers and all desirable vegetation.
• Maintain agitation and avoid application when rain is expected within 6–8 hours.

Safety and Stewardship

• Wear the full personal protective equipment specified on the current label.
• Prevent spray drift, splash and runoff into adjoining crops, gardens, grazing areas and water bodies.
• Do not apply during windy conditions or through leaking, poorly calibrated equipment.
• Keep the product away from children, animals, food and animal feed and store it in the original closed container.
• Do not tank-mix unless both current labels permit the combination and qualified local advice confirms legal use and crop safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the active ingredient in Demolit?
Demolit contains Glufosinate Ammonium 13.5% w/w SL, equivalent to 15% w/v.

Is Demolit selective?
No. It is a non-selective post-emergence herbicide and must be directed only at the labelled weeds.

Which crops are listed in India?
Current major-use data lists directed applications in cotton and tea.

Can one dose be used for both crops?
No. Cotton and tea have different labelled formulation-rate ranges, water volumes and pre-harvest intervals.

Can Demolit touch the crop leaves?
No. Prevent contact with crop foliage and other desirable green plant tissue.
