Monomi Herbicide (Pyroxasulfone 85% WG) | The Expert Solution for Resistant Weeds
Brought to you by IFFCO-MC: The Ultimate Pre-Emergence Protection for Wheat, Maize, and Soybean.
Struggling with herbicide-resistant Phalaris minor (Gulli Danda) or tough grasses? Monomi is a next-generation pre-emergence herbicide featuring high-quality Japanese technology. Unlike older sprays that weeds have adapted to, Monomi uses advanced chemistry to stop weeds before they even emerge from the soil.
Perfect for: Farmers looking to break the resistance cycle and secure their yield right from the day of sowing.

- ⏱️Early Action (0-3 Days): Stops weed competition from the very start. Must be applied within 3 days of sowing for maximum effect.
- ?️Resistance Breaker: Specifically formulated to kill Phalaris minor (Gulli Danda) biotypes that are resistant to older herbicides like Clodinafop and Sulfosulfuron.
- ⏳Long-Lasting Control: Remains active in the topsoil, creating a chemical barrier that prevents late flushes of weeds.
- ?️Advanced WG Formulation: Comes as 85% Water Dispersible Granules. It is solvent-free, dust-free, and dissolves easily without clumping.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Monomi works differently than most common weedicides. It targets the weed at the microscopic level before you can even see it.
- Blocks Growth Enzymes: It inhibits the biosynthesis of Very Long Chain Fatty Acids (VLCFA), which are essential for plant cell growth.
- Stops Cell Division: By cutting off this supply, it arrests cell division in the emerging shoot and root of the weed.
- Germination Failure: The weed seedling absorbs the chemical from the soil and dies before it can break the soil surface.
Note: Because it works on germination, it will not kill weeds that have already emerged.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Wheat | Phalaris minor (Gulli Danda/Mandusi), Rumex dentatus (Jangli Palak), Suppression of Motha. |
| Maize (Corn) | Echinochloa (Barnyard grass), Eleusine indica (Goosegrass), Phyllanthus niruri. |
| Soybean | Echinochloa colona, Carpet weed (Trianthema), Amaranthus species. |
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 | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat | 60 g | 200 Litres | 0.3 g | Label Std |
| Maize | 60 g | 200 Litres | 0.3 g | Label Std |
| Soybean | 60 g | 200 Litres | 0.3 g | Label Std |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Always refer to the product leaflet for local statutory guidelines.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: STRICTLY spray within 0 to 3 days of sowing. Do not spray if the crop has already emerged.
- Mixing: Dissolve the granules in water. Use 200 Litres of water per acre. This high volume is necessary to create a perfect film over the soil.
- Coverage: Use Flat Fan or FloodJet nozzles to ensure uniform soil coverage. Avoid Hollow Cone nozzles. Ensure soil is moist at the time of application.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use Monomi on Durum (Macaroni) Wheat?
No. Monomi is not recommended for Durum wheat varieties as it may cause crop damage. It is safe for standard bread wheat.
2. Why do I need 200 Litres of water?
Monomi needs to coat the soil surface completely to stop weed seeds. Less water leaves gaps where weeds can grow.
3. Can I mix this with sand and broadcast it?
No. For best results, it must be sprayed using a knapsack sprayer with the correct nozzle. Sand mixing results in poor distribution.
4. What is the price of Monomi?
The estimated price is approximately ₹1100 per acre (60g pack), offering excellent value by saving yield from resistant weeds.
5. When should I irrigate after spraying?
The first irrigation should typically be done at the Crown Root Initiation (CRI) stage, around 21 days after sowing.
