How It Works: Mode of Action
Furusato creates a "Chemical Veil" on the soil surface. Here is how it destroys weeds:
- Contact Action: When weed seedlings try to emerge through the treated soil layer, they contact the herbicide.
- Sunlight Activation: The molecule is activated by sunlight. It triggers a reaction that destroys the cell membranes of the weed.
- Rapid Drying: The weed tissues lose water rapidly (desiccation) and die before they can establish.
Note: Because it requires light, symptoms appear faster on sunny days.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|

| Potato / Groundnut | Trianthema, Chenopodium, and other annual broadleaf 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Onion | 170 - 340 ml | 200 - 300 L | ~1.5 - 2 ml | 7 |
| Tea | 260 - 400 ml | 200 - 300 L | ~2 - 2.5 ml | 15 |
| Potato / Groundnut | 170 - 340 ml | 200 - 300 L | ~1.5 - 2 ml | -- |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For Onions, apply 0-3 days before transplanting OR as early post-emergence (only after onions have 3-4 leaves). For Potato/Groundnut, apply within 3 days of sowing (Pre-emergence only).
- Mixing: Ensure the soil is moist at the time of application. The chemical needs moisture to bind to the soil.
- Coverage: Use a Flat Fan or Flood Jet nozzle. Do not use hollow cone nozzles, as fine mist can drift and cause crop injury.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Furusato burn the onion crop?
Some minor "tip burn" or spotting may occur on onion leaves, but the crop typically recovers within a few weeks without yield loss. Avoid spraying on very young onions (1-2 leaf stage).
2. Can I use this for standing crops?
In Onions and Tea, yes (with specific timing). For Potato and Groundnut, it must be used strictly BEFORE the crop emerges to avoid damage.
3. What happens if it rains after spraying?
Furusato is rainfast once it settles. However, for best results, ensure the soil is moist before spraying.
4. Which nozzle is best for Furusato?
Always use a Flat Fan or Flood Jet nozzle. Coarse droplets settle better on the soil surface to create the weed barrier.
5. How is Furusato different from generic Oxyfluorfen?
Furusato is made by IFFCO-MC using Japanese technology, ensuring higher purity, better stability, and consistent weed control.
