General Information

Himax is a broad-spectrum, post-emergent herbicide manufactured by Insecticides (India) Limited. It contains glufosinate ammonium as the active ingredient and is formulated as a 13.5% soluble liquid (SL). Himax is a non-selective herbicide that controls a wide range of annual and perennial weeds, including grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds.

Active Ingredient

• Glufosinate ammonium 13.5% SL

Mode of Action

Himax acts by inhibiting the glutamine synthetase enzyme, which is essential for ammonia detoxification in plants. This disruption leads to the accumulation of ammonia, causing rapid cell death and the destruction of the target weeds.

Application

Himax is recommended for use in a variety of crops, including cotton, tea, and non-crop areas. It can be applied as a foliar spray using knapsack sprayers or boom sprayers. The recommended dosage varies depending on the target crop, weed species, and density.

Precautions

• Wear protective clothing, gloves, and a mask when handling Himax.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• Do not apply near water bodies or where there is a risk of runoff.
• Follow the recommended dosage and application instructions.
• Store Himax in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.

Doses

The recommended dosage of Himax varies depending on the target crop, weed species, and density. Refer to the product label for specific instructions.

Weeds Controlled

Himax effectively controls a wide range of annual and perennial weeds, including:

• Grasses: Sorghum halepense, Cynodon dactylon, Imperata cylindrica
• Sedges: Cyperus rotundus, Cyperus esculentus
• Broadleaf weeds: Xanthium strumarium, Parthenium hysterophorus, Amaranthus spinosus

Note: Always consult the product label for specific instructions and safety precautions before using Himax.

Please note that these are general recommendations, and the specific dosage may vary depending on the severity of the weed infestation and local regulations. Always refer to the product label for the most accurate and up-to-date dosage instructions.
