Genki Glyphosate 41% SL Herbicide (IFFCO)
The Trusted "Root-Kill" Expert for Tea Plantations & Non-Cropped Areas
Genki (Glyphosate 41% SL) by IFFCO-MC is a powerful, non-selective systemic herbicide designed for total weed control. Unlike contact sprays that only burn the leaves, Genki penetrates the plant system and moves down to the roots, ensuring that stubborn perennial weeds do not grow back. It is the ideal solution for managing heavy weed infestations in tea gardens and non-farming lands.
Best For: Controlling deep-rooted grassy and broadleaf weeds in non-crop areas and tea plantations.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Systemic "Root-Kill" Action: Absorbs through the leaves and travels to the roots, killing the entire weed from the inside out within 7-10 days.
- ?️Trusted IFFCO Quality: Manufactured by IFFCO-MC, ensuring a high-quality, stable formulation that farmers trust across India.
- ⏳Long-Lasting Control: Because it destroys the root system (rhizomes and tubers), weeds cannot regenerate quickly, saving you labor costs on repeated weeding.
- ?️Reliable Rainfastness: The chemical is absorbed into the plant system within 4 to 6 hours, making it effective even if it rains afterwards.
- ?Broad Spectrum Efficacy: Effectively controls a wide range of tough weeds, including Bermuda Grass, Johnson Grass, and broadleaf creepers.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Genki works using a "Systemic Action." It does not kill instantly on contact; instead, it slowly poisons the weed from the inside out.
- Absorption: The active ingredient (Glyphosate) and special surfactants help the liquid penetrate the waxy leaf surface of the weed.
- Translocation: Once inside, the herbicide moves with the plant's food (sugars) down into the roots, rhizomes, and tubers.
- Metabolic Halt: It blocks the EPSPS enzyme, which is essential for plant growth. This starves the plant of proteins, leading to complete death (yellowing then browning) in 7 to 10 days.
Note: Because it kills the roots, weeds like Bermuda grass and Johnson grass cannot regrow from underground parts.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop / Area | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Tea Plantations | Deep-rooted perennials (Cogon grass, Ferns) & Annual weeds |
| Non-Cropped Areas | General vegetation, Parthenium, Industrial weed control |
| Orchards (Directed Spray) | Inter-row weed management (avoiding crop foliage) |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" and use High Water Volume for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop / Usage | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tea Plantations | 800 - 1200 ml | 180 - 200 L | ~ 5 - 6 ml | Refer to Label |
| Non-Cropped Areas | 1000 - 1200 ml | 180 - 200 L | ~ 6 ml | -- |
| General Weed Control | 1000 ml (Avg) | 180 L | ~ 5.5 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 actively growing and green. Do not spray on weeds covered in dust or mud, as dust inactivates the chemical.
- Mixing: Use clean water. Avoid using muddy water from ponds as it reduces efficacy. Use plastic or stainless steel sprayers (avoid unlined steel).
- Coverage: Ensure full coverage of the foliage. Do not spray if rain is expected within 4-6 hours.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid inhaling the spray mist.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use Genki on Cotton or Paddy?
No. According to CIB&RC regulations, Genki is strictly approved for use only in Tea plantations and Non-cropped areas. Using it on field crops is illegal and can damage the crop unless it is a specific resistant variety (which may not be authorized).
2. How long does it take to see results?
Genki is a slow-acting systemic killer. You will see yellowing of leaves after 7 days, and complete death of the weed (including roots) usually happens within 10 to 14 days.
3. What if it rains after spraying?
You need a rain-free window of at least 4 to 6 hours after spraying for the chemical to be absorbed by the leaves.
4. Why do I need a "Recommendation Slip" in some states?
In states like Telangana and Punjab, regulations require farmers to obtain a slip from an Agriculture Officer to buy Glyphosate. This is to prevent misuse on unauthorized crops like HT Cotton.
5. Is it safe for fish or ponds?
No. The surfactants in Glyphosate formulations can be toxic to aquatic life. Do not spray near water bodies or wash equipment in ponds.
