Genki Plus Herbicide (Glyphosate 71% SG) – IFFCO-MC
The ultimate systemic solution for eliminating stubborn, deep-rooted weeds in Tea plantations and Non-Cropped areas.
Genki Plus is a high-strength, non-selective herbicide containing Glyphosate 71% SG (Ammonium Salt). Unlike traditional liquids, this soluble granule formulation delivers a higher concentration of active ingredients, ensuring faster absorption and complete root-kill of difficult weeds like Nutgrass (Motha) and Bermuda grass.
Note: As per Government of India regulations, this product is restricted for use through Pest Control Operators (PCOs) only.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Faster Absorption: The Ammonium Salt formulation penetrates leaf wax quickly, speeding up the uptake process compared to standard IPA salts.
- ?️Complete Root Kill: It is a systemic herbicide that moves from the leaves down to the roots and rhizomes, preventing weeds from growing back.
- ⏳Controls Tough Weeds: Specifically effective against hard-to-kill perennials like Cyperus rotundus (Purple Nutgrass) and Cynodon dactylon.
- ?️Rainfastness: Due to rapid absorption, the chemical is less likely to wash off if it rains 4–6 hours after spraying.
- ?Easy Logistics: As a dry Soluble Granule (SG), it is easier to transport, handle, and store compared to bulky liquid drums.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Genki Plus works by starving the weed of essential proteins required for growth. It is not a contact burner; it works from the inside out.
- Absorption: The dissolved granules are sprayed onto the green foliage. The ammonium salt helps it penetrate the leaf surface rapidly.
- Translocation: The active ingredient travels down through the plant's vascular system (phloem) to the roots, rhizomes, and tubers.
- Inhibition: It blocks the EPSP synthase enzyme. This stops the production of essential amino acids, causing the plant to turn yellow, wilt, and die completely within 7–14 days.
Note: Visible symptoms like yellowing may take 4-7 days to appear. Do not panic if weeds look green immediately after spraying.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop / Area | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Tea Plantations | Deep-rooted grasses, Broadleaf weeds, Nutgrass (Motha), Bermuda Grass. |
| Non-Cropped Areas | Parthenium, Industrial weeds, Roadside vegetation, Bunds. |
| Industrial Sites | Total vegetation control (All types of green vegetation). |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Do not under-dose, or weeds may regrow.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / 15L Tank) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tea & Non-Crop | 1200 g (1.2 kg) | 200 Litres | 100 g | Label Guide |
| (General Weed Control) | 1200 g (1.2 kg) | 200 Litres | 100 g | - |
*Use 1 sachet (100g) per 15-liter knapsack sprayer tank for easy calculation.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply when weeds are actively growing and have 4-8 leaves. Do not apply on weeds covered in dust or mud.
- Mixing: Use clean, soft water. Muddy water deactivates glyphosate. Dissolve the granules completely before spraying.
- Coverage: Use a Flood Jet (Cut) Nozzle or Flat Fan nozzle. Avoid Hollow Cone nozzles to prevent drift onto main crops. Use a protective hood (shield) near crop plants.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Maintain a buffer zone near water bodies as it is toxic to fish.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use Genki Plus on standing crops like Cotton or Paddy?
No. Genki Plus is a non-selective herbicide. Spraying it over crops will kill the crop along with the weeds. It is only legal for use in Tea plantations and non-cropped areas.
2. How long does it take to kill the weeds?
It is a slow-acting systemic killer. Yellowing starts in 4-7 days, and complete death occurs in 10-15 days. Do not disturb the soil during this period.
3. What is the difference between 41% SL and 71% SG?
Genki Plus (71% SG) is a granular form with a higher concentration of glyphosate acid. It is easier to transport, has better absorption, and is more effective on tough roots than the liquid 41% version.
4. Will it affect the next crop I plant?
No. Glyphosate becomes inactive once it touches the soil. You can plant your next crop a few days after the weeds have died.
5. Why is there a PCO restriction?
The government mandates application by Pest Control Operators to ensure safety and prevent illegal use on unauthorized Herbicide Tolerant (HT) crops.
