IMAZE

(Imazethapyr 10% SL)

IMAZE is a selective, systemic herbicide formulated with Imazethapyr 10% SL, designed for effective post-emergence control of weeds in legume-based cropping systems. The soluble liquid formulation ensures quick foliar absorption and efficient translocation through both xylem and phloem tissues.

Once absorbed, Imazethapyr inhibits the ALS enzyme, blocking the synthesis of essential branched-chain amino acids required for weed growth.

IMAZE provides targeted weed suppression while maintaining crop safety, helping legumes establish efficiently and reducing competition for nutrients and water.

Target Pests

IMAZE controls actively growing annual grasses, broadleaf weeds, and sedges by inhibiting ALS enzyme activity, stopping amino acid synthesis, and suppressing cell division, resulting in gradual weed starvation and complete systemic kill.

Effectively Controls

  • Annual grassy weed species
  • Broadleaf weed seedlings
  • Sedges in crop fields
  • Echinochloa weed growth
  • Cyperus weed infestation
  • Commelina broadleaf weeds
  • Amaranthus weed plants
  • Chenopodium weed species
  • Digitaria grassy weeds
  • Setaria weed emergence
  • Mixed weed population fields
  • Early stage weed flush

Application Areas

  • Soybean Cultivation Fields Selective post-emergence weed management
  • Groundnut Crop Areas Controls early weed competition
  • Pulse and Legume Crops Maintains clean inter-row spaces
  • Post-Emergence Stages Effective after crop establishment
  • Mixed Weed Infestation Zones Controls diverse weed populations
  • Early Crop Establishment Period Reduces initial weed pressure
