Amicus Herbicide

Amicus Herbicide is a selective pre-emergent herbicide developed by UPL Limited, formulated with Metolachlor 50% EC. It is designed to control a broad spectrum of grasses and some broadleaf weeds in various crops, including maize, soybean, groundnut, cotton, and potatoes.

Key Features:

Pre-emergent Action: Controls weeds before they emerge, reducing competition for nutrients and water.

Long-Lasting Residual Control: Provides extended weed suppression, minimizing the need for multiple applications.

Excellent Crop Safety: Safe for use on a variety of crops when applied correctly.

Low Volatility: Minimizes the risk of drift to non-target areas.

Photostable: Remains effective even under sunlight exposure.

Xylem Systemic: Absorbed by roots and shoots, providing thorough weed control.

Mode of Action:

Amicus works by inhibiting the synthesis of long-chain fatty acids in germinating weed seeds. This disruption affects cell membrane formation and seedling shoot growth, leading to the death of the weeds before they emerge.

Dosage: 800 ml per acre.
