How It Works: Mode of Action
Zakiyama works as a Mitotic Inhibitor. It targets the weed seeds right as they try to germinate.
- Absorption: The herbicide is absorbed by the roots and shoots of germinating weed seedlings.
- Disruption: It binds to Tubulin (a protein) and stops cell division (mitosis).
- Elimination: Without cell division, the weed roots cannot grow, and the seedling dies before it can break the soil surface.
Note: This product does not kill weeds that have already grown. It must be applied before weeds appear.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Application must happen within 0-3 days of sowing/transplanting.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 1000 - 1500 ml | 200 L | 5 - 7.5 ml | 110 |
| Wheat | 1200 - 1500 ml | 200 L | 6 - 7.5 ml | 110 |
| Paddy (Rice) | 1000 - 1200 ml | 200 L | 5 - 6 ml | 90 |
| Soybean | 1000 - 1200 ml | 200 L | 5 - 6 ml | 90 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Dose varies based on soil type (use higher dose for Heavy/Clay soils).
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply strictly within 0 to 3 days after sowing or transplanting. Delaying this reduces results.
- Mixing: Ensure the soil is moist at the time of application. Do not apply on dry cracked soil.
- Coverage: Use a flat fan or flood jet nozzle for uniform soil coverage. Do not disturb the soil after application.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid applying near fish ponds.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Zakiyama kill weeds that are already 4 inches tall?
No. Zakiyama is a pre-emergence herbicide. It only kills seeds as they are sprouting. It will not kill established weeds.
2. Can I use this product in Fish Farming (Aquaculture)?
No. Pendimethalin is toxic to fish. Do not allow the water to drain into fish ponds or lakes.
3. What is the difference between Zakiyama (EC) and Zakiyama Plus (CS)?
Zakiyama (EC) is the standard liquid formulation, ideal for field crops. Zakiyama Plus (CS) is a capsule suspension that releases slowly, offering longer control, often used for onions and chillies.
4. Why did the herbicide turn my soil/equipment orange?
This is normal. Pendimethalin has a natural bright orange-yellow color. It does not affect the quality of the product.
5. Can I mix it with other herbicides?
Yes, for Wheat, it is often mixed with Metribuzin for broader control. Always check with an expert before tank mixing.
