GLUFOCAT by Chemley : Non-Selective Post-Emergence Herbicide

Effective weed management is critical for reducing crop competition and maintaining field cleanliness. GLUFOCAT is a non-selective, post-emergence herbicide designed for the broad-spectrum control of annual and perennial weeds. It acts on contact with green plant tissue, making it a reliable tool for managing existing weed infestations in designated agricultural and non-crop settings.

Developed by Chemley, this formulation is recommended for targeted weed control programs where the elimination of a wide range of grasses and broadleaf weeds is required.

Key Features and Performance Benefits

• Mode of Action: As a non-selective, post-emergence herbicide, it controls weeds that have already germinated and are actively growing.

• Broad-Spectrum Control: Effective against a wide variety of problematic annual and perennial weeds, including grasses like Cynodon dactylon and Echinochloa sp., and sedges like Cyperus rotundus.

• Targeted Application Areas: Recommended for use in tea gardens, cotton crops, and non-crop areas such as field bunds and irrigation channels.

Application and Dosage Guidelines

For optimal results, GLUFOCAT should be applied when weeds are in an active stage of vegetative growth or at the flowering stage. Thorough coverage of the target weeds is essential for efficacy.

• Tea:

  • Target Weeds: Imperata cylindrica, Panicum repens, Borreria hispida, Digitaria sanguinalis, and other grasses/broadleaf weeds.

  • Dosage: 2.5 - 3.3 liters per hectare.

  • Water Volume: 375 - 500 liters per hectare.

  • Note: Application should be made using a spray shield to prevent drift and direct contact with tea plants.

• Cotton:

  • Target Weeds: Echinochloa sp., Cynodon dactylon, Cyperus rotundus, Digitaria marginata, and other grasses/broadleaf weeds.

  • Dosage: 2.5 - 3.3 liters per hectare.

  • Water Volume: 500 liters per hectare.

A Tool for Integrated Weed Management

By providing effective control over a wide range of competing flora, GLUFOCAT serves as a practical component in an integrated weed management program. Its use helps to reduce weed pressure, allowing crops to more efficiently access water, nutrients, and sunlight, thereby supporting overall plant health and productivity.
