Green Mix Herbicide (Metsulfuron Methyl 10% + Chlorimuron Ethyl 10% WP)
The Ultimate Solution for Broadleaf Weeds and Stubborn Sedges in Rice & Soybean.
Struggling with labor shortages and the high cost of manual weeding? Green Mix by Insecticides (India) Ltd is your modern solution. This powerful, low-dose herbicide combines two advanced molecules to tackle the toughest weeds—specifically targeting deep-rooted sedges (Motha) and broadleaf varieties.
Green Mix works systematically to clean your field, ensuring your crop gets 100% of the nutrients, water, and sunlight it deserves.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Massive Cost Savings: One 8g sachet replaces days of manual labor, reducing your weeding costs by over 80%.
- ?️Dual-Action Power: Contains two active ingredients (Metsulfuron & Chlorimuron) to kill weeds that single-molecule products miss.
- ⏳Kills from the Roots: Systemic action travels down to the tubers (nuts) of sedges, preventing them from growing back.
- ?️Flexible Application: Effective as a Pre-Emergence spray in Soybean and Post-Emergence in Rice and Wheat.
- ?Crop Safety ("Green" Effect): Highly selective formulation that is tough on weeds but gentle on your crops, keeping them lush and green.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Green Mix uses a "Stop and Starve" mechanism that targets the specific enzyme (ALS) responsible for weed growth.
- Absorption: Upon spraying, the herbicide is rapidly absorbed through the leaves and roots of the weed.
- Translocation: It moves systematically through the plant's vascular system (xylem and phloem) to reach the growing tips and underground tubers.
- Termination: It halts the production of essential amino acids. Growth stops immediately (within 24 hours), followed by yellowing and complete death within 14-21 days.
Note: While growth stops immediately, visual browning takes time. This is a sign of deep systemic cleaning, not product failure.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | Sedges (Cyperus iria, Cyperus difformis), Broadleaf weeds (Ludwigia, Eclipta alba, Marsilea) |
| Soybean | Purple Nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus), Cocklebur, Morning Glory, and other broadleaves. |
| Wheat | Bathua (Chenopodium album), Melilotus, and other 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 (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice (Transplanted) | 8 grams | 200 - 240 L | 0.04 g | 60-90 (See Label) |
| Soybean | 8 grams | 200 - 240 L | 0.04 g | See Label |
| Wheat | 8 grams | 200 - 240 L | 0.04 g | See Label |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Always use the dilution of 8g in at least 200L of water to avoid crop shock.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing:
Soybean: Apply within 0-3 days of sowing (Pre-Emergence).
Rice: Apply 15-25 days after transplanting (Post-Emergence).
Wheat: Apply 25-35 days after sowing. - Mixing: Dissolve the 8g powder in a small mug of water first to create a slurry. Then add this slurry to your main spray tank while stirring.
- Coverage (Rice Specific): Drain the field water before spraying to expose the weeds. Re-flood the field 24-48 hours after application to seal the efficacy.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Green Mix kill grasses?
No. Green Mix is specialized for Broadleaf weeds and Sedges (Motha). If you have grasses, you must mix it with a compatible grass herbicide.
2. Is it safe for the next crop?
Yes, for Wheat and Rice rotations. However, be cautious if planting Maize (Corn) or Sunflower immediately after, especially in high pH soils. A gap of 9-10 months is recommended for Maize.
3. How long does it take to see results?
Weeds stop growing immediately, but visual yellowing appears in 3-7 days. Complete death occurs in 14-21 days.
4. Can I use it in dry soil?
No. Adequate soil moisture is crucial for the herbicide to work effectively. In Rice, ensure the field is moist but drained of standing water during spray.
5. Can I spray this on standing Soybean crops?
No! In Soybean, it must be used as a Pre-Emergence spray (0-3 days after sowing). Spraying on emerged soybean plants will cause damage.
