Odyssey is a post-emergence herbicide that is used to control a wide range of grassy and broadleaf weeds in field peas, Clearfield® lentils, soybeans, and faba beans. It is a combination of two active ingredients, imazamox and imazethapyr, which work together to inhibit the production of branched-chain amino acids, which are essential for plant growth.

Odyssey is a systemic herbicide, which means that it is absorbed by the plant through both the roots and the leaves and then translocated throughout the plant to the growing points. This allows Odyssey to control weeds that are difficult to control with contact herbicides, such as weeds that have emerged below the crop canopy.

Odyssey is a very effective herbicide, and it is often used as a one-pass solution for weed control. It is also very rainfast, which means that it is not easily washed off by rain.

Here is a more detailed description of the benefits of using Odyssey herbicide:

• Broad-spectrum weed control: Odyssey controls a wide range of grassy and broadleaf weeds, including many difficult-to-control weeds.
• One-pass solution: Odyssey is often used as a one-pass solution for weed control, which saves time and money.
• Rainfast: Odyssey is very rainfast, which means that it is not easily washed off by rain.
• Safe for crops: Odyssey is safe for use on field peas, Clearfield lentils, soybeans, and faba beans.

Odyssey is a valuable tool for farmers who are looking for a broad-spectrum, one-pass solution for weed control. It is a safe and effective herbicide that can help farmers to improve their crop yields and profitability.

Mode of Action

Odyssey acts by inhibiting the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme in plants. This enzyme is essential for the production of branched-chain amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. By inhibiting ALS, Odyssey prevents plants from producing the proteins they need to survive.

Application

Odyssey can be applied to crops using a variety of methods, including foliar spraying, soil application, and seed treatment. The specific application method and dosage will vary depending on the crop and the target weed.

Precautions

• Odyssey is a highly toxic herbicide, so it is important to follow all safety precautions when using it.
• Wear protective clothing, including gloves, goggles, and a respirator, when handling Odyssey.
• Do not apply Odyssey to crops that are in bloom, as this may harm bees and other beneficial insects.
• Keep Odyssey out of reach of children and pets.

Additional Precautions for Use in India

• Odyssey is registered for use in India on soybeans, peanuts, cotton, and vegetables.
• Always follow the instructions on the label when using Odyssey.
• Apply Odyssey only to the crops that are listed on the label.
• Use the recommended dosage and application method.
• Do not apply Odyssey to crops that are in bloom.
• Dispose of Odyssey containers and any unused pesticide mixture safely.
