How It Works: Mode of Action
Kokoro works by targeting the specific biology of grassy weeds.
- Absorption: Upon spraying, the ester formulation penetrates the waxy leaf coating of the weed.
- Inhibition: It blocks the ACCase enzyme, which is responsible for creating lipids (fats) needed for cell membranes.
- Systemic Death: Without new membranes, the weed's growing points die. The plant turns yellow, then brown, and rots from the center within 14-21 days.
Note: Wheat plants naturally metabolize this chemical into non-toxic compounds, keeping the crop safe.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Under-dosing leads to resistance!
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat | 160 g | 100 - 120 L | 1.3 - 1.6 g | 80 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply 30-35 Days After Sowing (DAS) when weeds are at the 2-6 leaf stage.
- Mixing: Dissolve the 160g sachet in water. Always use a Flat Fan or Flood Jet nozzle for uniform coverage.
- Coverage: Ensure the soil has moisture ("watar" condition). Do not spray if the field is dry.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Kokoro kill broadleaf weeds like Bathua?
No. Kokoro is a specific "graminicide" (grass killer). For broadleaf weeds, you may need a separate herbicide like Metsulfuron Methyl.
2. What is the correct pack size for one acre?
One 160g sachet is the exact pre-measured dose for one acre of wheat. Do not split the packet.
3. When should I irrigate after spraying?
Spray after the first irrigation when the soil is moist. Avoid irrigating immediately after spraying to allow the chemical to absorb.
4. Can I mix Kokoro with other herbicides?
Avoid random tank mixes as they can reduce efficacy or burn the crop. Follow local agronomy advice for compatible combinations.
5. Is it safe for the operator?
It is moderately toxic. Always wear a mask and gloves to prevent skin irritation and eye contact during mixing.
