How It Works: Mode of Action
Tambola works by starving the weed of its natural protection against the sun.
- Blocks HPPD Enzyme: It inhibits the production of Carotenoids (plant sunscreen).
- Chlorophyll Destruction: Without protection, the sun's light destroys the weed's chlorophyll. [Image of weed bleaching symptoms]
- Bleaching & Death: The weeds turn bright white (bleached) and die within a few days due to metabolic collapse.
Note: Maize is safe because it rapidly breaks down the chemical before it causes harm.

Frequently Asked Questions

It provides good suppression of Motha, stunting its growth so it doesn't compete with the maize, but it may not completely eradicate underground tubers.
3. Is the surfactant included in the box?
Check the pack. If not included, you must buy a high-quality surfactant separately and add it to the tank for the medicine to work.
4. Can I plant wheat or mustard after using Tambola?
Yes. Tambola is safe for rotation crops like wheat, mustard, and chickpea in the following season (Rabi).
