How It Works: Mode of Action
Trick works by targeting the specific enzymes that weeds need to grow.
- Rapid Absorption: Upon spraying, the herbicide is quickly absorbed by the weed's leaves and roots.
- Systemic Blockade: It travels through the plant to the growing tips and inhibits the ALS enzyme, blocking the production of essential amino acids (Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine).
- Elimination: The weed stops growing immediately. Visual yellowing appears in 3-5 days, followed by complete death within 14-21 days.
Note: Soybeans naturally metabolize this chemical rapidly, which is why the crop stays safe while the weed dies.
Target Crops & Pests

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Precision is key with this low-dose technology.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml/g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soybean | 15 g | 150 - 200 L | ~0.1 g | 60 Days |
| Transplanted Rice | 15 g | 150 - 200 L | ~0.1 g | 60 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Always check the product label for the most current data.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply 10 to 20 Days After Sowing (DAS), when weeds are in the 2 to 4-leaf stage. Early application gives the best results.
- Mixing: Dissolve the 15g sachet thoroughly in water. Use a Flat Fan or Flood Jet nozzle for uniform coverage.
- Coverage: Ensure the soil has adequate moisture at the time of spraying. Do not spray if the soil is dry and cracked.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying on windy days to prevent drift.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Trick kill grasses like Barnyard grass?
Trick is primarily a broadleaf and sedge killer. For mixed weed infestations (grasses + broadleaves), you may need to tank-mix it with a grass-specific herbicide or use a pre-emergence herbicide beforehand.
2. Is it safe for the next crop (Crop Rotation)?
Chlorimuron Ethyl persists in the soil. While Wheat is generally safe after 90-120 days, avoid planting highly sensitive crops like Maize, Sunflower, or Mustard immediately after harvest in the same field.
3. What if it rains after spraying?
Trick requires 4 to 6 hours to be fully absorbed. If it rains after this period, the efficacy will not be affected.
4. Can I use this on crops other than Soybean or Paddy?
No. Trick is highly specific. Using it on non-recommended crops (like Cotton, Maize, or Vegetables) can cause severe crop damage or death.
5. Why is the dosage so low (15g)?
This is a high-potency Sulfonylurea herbicide. 15g is chemically sufficient to kill weeds. Overdosing does not kill weeds faster but increases the risk of damaging your current or future crops.
