Non-Selective Post-Emergence Tea & Cotton Contact Herbicide Suitable Crops Krishikranti Sweep Shot Glufosinate Ammonium 13.5% SL is registered for use on tea and cotton. As a non-selective herbicide, it will damage any green foliage it contacts always use as a directed spray away from crop foliage. Refer to the product label before use on any other crop. Target Weeds Weed Type Weeds Controlled Grassy weeds Doob grass (Cynodon dactylon), Crowfoot grass (Dactyloctenium aegyptium), Crabgrass (Digitaria marginata), Barnyard grass (Echinochloa spp.) Sedges Nutgrass (Cyperus rotundus) Glufosinate Ammonium 13.5% SL Uses Non-selective, broad-spectrum weed control in tea gardens and cotton fields Fast contact action visible weed damage within 2–4 days, complete kill in 7–10 days Effective on hard-to-kill perennial weeds like nutgrass and doob grass Alternative mode of action for integrated weed management programs Low soil persistence, does not carry over to affect the next crop Mode of Action Glufosinate Ammonium inhibits the glutamine synthetase enzyme (Herbicide Group 10), blocking ammonium metabolism in the weed. This causes a rapid buildup of ammonia in plant tissue, damaging cell membranes and stopping photosynthesis. The weed dries out and dies within days of contact.
