Adama Agil Herbicide:
Selective Post-Emergence Grass Weed Control for Broadleaf Crops
Adama Agil Herbicide (Propaquizafop 10% EC) is a highly effective selective systemic herbicide designed to control a wide range of annual and perennial grassy weeds in broadleaf crops. It belongs to the Aryloxyphenoxypropionate (FOP) group of herbicides and works by inhibiting the ACCase enzyme responsible for fatty acid synthesis in grasses. This targeted mode of action ensures powerful control of grassy weeds while remaining safe for many dicot crops such as soybean, cotton, groundnut, vegetables, and pulses.
Agil Herbicide is rapidly absorbed by weed foliage and translocated to growing points, where it stops cell division and plant growth. Within a few days, treated weeds stop competing with crops for nutrients, water, and sunlight. Because of its systemic action and excellent selectivity, Agil is widely used by progressive farmers for reliable weed management in high-value crops.
