Description

SHOOTER is a post-emergent, selective herbicide formulated with Imizethapyr 10% SL. It belongs to the imidazolinone group and works by inhibiting the enzyme Acetohydroxy Acid Synthase (AHAS), which is vital for the synthesis of branched-chain amino acids in susceptible weeds. This inhibition results in the gradual death of the target weeds.

SHOOTER is absorbed through both the roots and foliage of weeds and is translocated throughout the plant, ensuring complete and long-lasting control. It is highly effective against a wide range of annual grasses, broadleaf weeds, and sedges, making it an excellent choice for soybean farmers looking for targeted and efficient weed management.

SHOOTER should be applied when weeds are in their early growth stages (2–4 leaf stage) and soybean plants are well-established. Its selectivity ensures crop safety while reducing competition for nutrients, water, and sunlight, ultimately supporting vigorous crop growth and higher yields.

Key Features & Benefits:

✔ Selective systemic herbicide – safe for soybean crops
✔ Broad-spectrum control – effective against grasses, broadleaf weeds, and sedges
✔ Post-emergent action – targets weeds during early growth stages
✔ Long-lasting residual control – reduces the need for repeated applications
✔ Enhances crop performance – improves nutrient availability and overall crop health

Recommended Crops & Target Weeds:

Crop:
Soybean

Target Weeds:

• Grasses: Echinochloa spp., Digitaria spp., Dactyloctenium aegyptium

• Broadleaf Weeds: Amaranthus spp., Euphorbia spp., Parthenium hysterophorus

• Sedges: Cyperus spp.

Dosage & Application:

Dosage:
400 ml per acre (based on weed infestation and crop stage)

Application Method:
Apply as a foliar spray using a knapsack or power sprayer with a flat-fan or flood jet nozzle for uniform coverage.

Timing:
Apply 15–20 days after sowing, when weeds are in the 2–4 leaf stage.

Precautions:

• Wear protective clothing and gloves during mixing and spraying

• Avoid inhalation or contact with skin and eyes

• Do not apply during strong wind or rain

• Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and open flame
